Xmas recipes

Hi folks,

First of all, I must apologise for not getting round to posting the homework this week. We have been awfully busy; I didn’t realise that Christmas started so early in primary schools! On this theme, we have been looking at instructions for the past week. In preparation for a lesson on Tuesday, I have asked the class to bring in a copy of their favourite Christmas recipe. We will be analysing the instructions, and then, if we are feeling really brave, we will be trying out our favourite.

Best Wishes,

Mr Johnston

This week in writing we have been writing poems we have written shape poems and rhyming poems. We did a shape poem on a elephant called Ellie. In maths we are doing angles and measuring angles. We have been learning the different types of anglesand how many degrees they are. We are making a writing rocket where it tells us how to check our writing. Some of my classmates have been working on a wind turbine for the Torness Challenge.

Homework this week

The children have each been set angles consolidation work for their maths homework, and have been given an exercise from the spelling programme for their language homework. In addition, reading groups will be set appropriate tasks throughout the week.

Best Wishes

Mr K. Johnston

Many thanks to all the parents who came along to see us last week. There was a very high turn out and some useful and positive comments made. If you feel you would like more time, please make a second appointment or give us a ring after school. We managed (almost) to run to time, although we are aware a few parents might have felt a bit rushed towards the end.

We are thinking of posting the homework each week on the blog homework page, so that children who have forgotten what to do can easily find out.

Mr Johnston and Mrs Peterson.

Hi P5/6, Mr Johnston and Mrs Petersen!

I happened to look at your site today, and thought I could help you out by changing your blog name. Hope you don’t mind!!

Good to see you are planning to keep using the blog - let me know if you need help with anything else.

Miss King

Have you seen our Glow Games?

While we’re getting ready to get started with Glow, why not try our new Glow Games?

No really - this is now P5/6!

Dear All,

Yes this is still your own class website, now run by P5/6, Mr Johnston and Mrs Peterson.

We’ve had lots of wonderful improvements to our school ICT systems since the summer, but there’s an unfortunate side effect, which means we can’t change the class blog to a new name until some ICT superman comes round from Haddington to help us.

Also a few teething problems getting our photos on the blog, but don’t worry, your hard-working teachers are on the job!

We need this blog back on track! Don’t be slow to come forward with news to post!

From Mrs Peterson.

In art we have been painting landscape pictures on the landscape around our school. We practised mixing colours before we painted our landscape pictures. We have been doing writers craft in writing where we had to carry on the story.Nathan and Holly.
