P5

Welcome to P.5.  We have two P.5 classes and our teachers are Mrs Turley and Mr O'Neill. 

In P5 pupils are encouraged to be curious, take risks with their learning, to know that it is ok to make mistakes and learn from these.  Pupils continue to use concrete resources in many lessons and enjoy practical interactive lessons which help them  be creative and develop problem solving and thinking skills.  We love to watch pupils develop greater independent skills and feel proud of all of the small steps they take to make be the best they can be. Our classroom environments are bright, positive and organised.  We encourage all or pupils to simply try their best and are there to support and help them along the way.

P5O’s First Roots of Empathy Visit

A huge welcome to Alex, our new Roots of Empathy Tiny Teacher for P5ON. Mummy Aisling and Baby Alex were thrilled to meet all the boys and girls! We will get to know Alex during 9 family visits and learn lots about our own feelings and emotions too! 

Author Visit

P5 thoroughly enjoyed a creative writing workshop with local author Declan Carville. Pupils enjoyed listening to his story The Magic Harp and were very keen to share their ideas about what Declan might write about if he did a follow-up book.  They got lots of helpful tips which has inspired many budding writers to write their won books.  Lots of interesting questions were asked and pupils were fascinated by his story and images of the Fairy Glen.  A big thank-you to Declan and AMMA Creative Learning Centre for funding this amazing experience.

Baby Keelan Came to Teach P5T

P5T thoroughly enjoyed their first Roots of Empathy lesson with baby Keelan and his mum Miss Barry-Clegg. Pupils enjoyed singing him some nursery rhymes, watching Mrs Robinson measuring his weight and height and asking lots of questions to see what Keelan is able to do at this stage in his development. Lots of excited smiling faces and we can’t wait for his next visit.

Finding symmetry outdoors 

P5O enjoyed getting outdoors to find extras of symmetry in our outdoor environment.

Following Instructions to Make Some Tasty Sandwiches

P5 have been learning about instructions in Literacy.  We wrote clear instructions to make a sandwich then had lots of fun following them to make our own healthy sandwiches.  Our teachers were so impressed by we worked independently to make own sandwiches.  The best part was eating them, of course!

Measuring Length

In Numeracy lessons P5T have been measuring the length of things in centimetres. They had great fun getting outside to measure things they found around the playground. 

P5T enjoy keeping active and playing fun games in PE

Having Fun in Maths

P5 have been learning about Place Value.  We loved making a c=variety of numbers and ordering them in ascending and descending order.
