What we are learning

Primary 5 are currently writing a letter from the perspective of Sophie, meeting the BFG, which is our current novel. We love this novel as the Gobblefunked words make us laugh! 

Primary 5 have also been learning Karate in PE. As part of the lesson, we are learning to count in Japanese! 

We recently enjoyed taking part in Core Kids live zoom for National Fitness Day. 

For European Languages Day we are creating a class ‘family tree’ to present all of our different cultures. We also took part in a class quiz which has taught us many facts about the languages spoken all over the world.
