Welcome to your 1st term in P5.

We know your child will enjoy all the learning activities planned for them this year. 

Literacy, Numeracy and ICT are the priority focus in our classroom and the children will be completing a range of topics in all 3 areas to extend their learning.

Our WAU topic this half term is, “Healthy Me,” where we will be learning about keeping our bodies healthy through exercise, a balanced diet,  healthy life  style choices. and much more!  We will also be doing lots of research around this topic. We will be incorporating lots of Art/Craft and Science activities so keep your eye on our Facebook page and website where we will be sharing lots of our work.  

As a special treat, all P5 children will be given the opportunity to learn about keeping healthy through a programme called, “Chester’s Challenge.” 

Our class novel is, “Gangsta Granny,” a favourite of mine and the children.  

The children will also be given the opportunity to learn the Ukulele, a fabulous instrument for teaching rhythm and a great introduction to learning notation.  

Please continue to communicate with me via Seesaw.  This is a fantastic tool to support your child’s learning, upload homework and communicate with you as parents. We will also be using Mathletics and Accelerated Reader to enhance our literacy and numeracy skills.

Looking forward to a jam-packed term of learning in Primary 5. 

Mrs Taggart and Mrs McMahon
