P5/6 Smashing the Curriculum πŸ”‘πŸ“πŸ“–

25th Apr 2026

 

🌟 What a fantastic and engaging week for our Primary 5 & 6 pupils! 🌟

From budding authors to mini mathematicians, the children have been busy developing their skills across the curriculum πŸ“šβœοΈ

In literacy, we explored the art of storytelling, discovering that to write a great narrative, you first need to understand how to read and experience one. We discovered that every good story must have; an introduction, a build up, a problem/dilemma and a resolution! The children created some truly imaginative and captivating pieces during creative writing… we were blown away by their ideas! 🌈✨

πŸ”’In numeracy, learning came to life as Mrs McAloon helped the children measure their height using metre sticks. There were lots of smiles, laughter, and a bit of friendly comparison too! πŸ“πŸ˜„

🌍 Fun Fact of the Week: Did you know the Sun doesn’t actually move across our sky? It’s the Earth rotating and orbiting the Sun, taking a whole year to complete one full journey! The children loved Mrs McAloon’s hands-on demonstration bringing this to life 🌞

We also focused on decimal numbers, exploring tenths and hundredths, and understanding the value of digits before and after the decimal point. A tricky concept mastered with confidence! πŸ”’πŸ‘

And of course, the sunshine gave us the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, get active, and enjoy PE and football, keeping our bodies moving and our spirits high! β˜€οΈβš½πŸƒ‍♂️

πŸ‘ A week full of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, well done everyone! Enjoy the sunshine over the weekend πŸ’› 🌞
