P5/6 Mrs English
Welcome to Year 5 / 6
Raising funds for Children in Need. Well done to our school councillors!

Our “We really shine” winners for October

Maths Week - practical measuring
Outdoor Golden Time
National Coding Week
Primary 5/6 have been working on lots of coding this week as part of National Coding Week. This tied in so well with our procedural writing and recipe exploration. We learned that if you do not follow the steps correctly when cooking you will have a potential culinary disaster.
In coding if we don’t write the algorithm correctly then we cannot get our sprites in Scratch Jr to do what we want them to do. We need to fix (debug) our errors or re-write the code to patch our errors. We had lots of fun using mathematical language whilst developing our ICT and thinking skills.
Our ‘We really shine’ award winners for September
Researching chocolate and sampling chocolate
As part of our 'Food Glorious Food' topic we have been learning about the history of chocolate. We have researched where cocoa comes from and been learning about the production of chocolate through the years. Today we sampled some hot chocolate as we have worked so hard!
Our elected school council representatives
All the pupils who participated in our class elections for our school council are to be commended. The campaign was not an easy one as the standards were very high.
All of the children listened well and shared fabulous ways to improve our school.
The way the children congratulated others, even when they faced defeat, was just wonderful to see and showed high levels of maturity.
P5 and P6 we are immensely proud of you all.
We will continue to support our elected representatives with suggestions and ways to make Glasswater P.S. the best it can be!
Golden Time Outdoors
Making Fruit Kebabs
We made fruit kebabs and enjoyed greatly munching them with our friends. Later this week we will produce some procedural writing from our experiences.
Food Glorious Food
As part of our Food Glorious Food Topic we have been creating pictures of fruit and vegetables in the style of Rachel Larsen. What a creative class we have!
Computational Thinking - Human Robots
We had to be very specific with our instructions to guide our robots safely around the playground. We enjoyed problem-solving through using direction and angles.
Football Coaching with Mal Donaghy
P5/6 enjoyed their first coaching session out in the sunshine. Not only were the children improving their football skills but they were also working on their fitness levels and their communication skills.
Happy Smiley Sunny Days
The boys and girls enjoyed some treats to cool off in the playground today. #smallschoolbigheart

This bunch of Year 6 pupils enjoyed an afternoon with Sustrans instructors, Ann and Martin, learning how to cycle safely and look after their bicycles.
Year 5/6 had ‘snow’ much fun with their friends in the playground today! #smallschoolbigheart
Year 5/6 enjoyed a visit from Carl from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service. He told them all about the work of the fire service in our community and reminded them of some important fire safety tips for their homes.
