It was lovely to see such a fantastic effort put in with our World Book Day costumes. There was a real buzz for reading in our classroom and we were lucky to share this during paired reading with primary 6. 📚

We have been learning to divide into groups and find the remainder left over. ➗✏️

There was great excitement following our learning about Mount Vesuvius as we exploded our very own volcanoes. 🌋

As part of our Romans topic we explored Roman numerals and created our own mosaics. 🇮🇹🎨

During STEM week we became engineers designing and constructing our own bridges. 🌉

We made a fantastic job of designing and building our own robots inspired by our class novel ‘The Wild Robot’. We then had the opportunity to present our builds to our peers in @lauriestonp3.bsky.social. 🤖

We have been working on our fitness during this block of PE. We enjoyed trying out the different stations as we moved around. 🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️

Using our inference skills we studied the short clip ‘Origin’. We had great discussions around where the robot could have come from and his story using the clues.

We have been exploring fact and opinion. We were confidently able to explain the difference and give examples. 👏

Tying in with our current IDL topic of The Romans we built our own Roman forts during outdoor learning. There were lots of details to consider to keep ourselves safe.

On Safer Internet Day we enjoyed tuning into the BBC live lesson. We then followed this discussing how to keep ourselves safe online and while using devices.

During children’s mental health week we used the story ‘My Many Coloured Days’ to explore how we often feel differently day to day. We created our gratitude jars and enjoyed discussing all of the things we are grateful for. We also joined with @lauriestonp3.bsky.social to do mindfulness yoga. 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️

This term we continue to work on our Punchy Punctuation. We are becoming increasingly confident in finding and identifying the missing punctuation in the sentences. 🕵🏼✏️

During outdoor learning we brought ‘Stick Mannies’ family to life. We had to recall lines of the story to remember which family members to include. 📚🌳🪾

We have been developing our knowledge of multiplication. Our pupils love to be challenged to beat their best scores. ✖️

For our writing task we kept with our Scottish focus and made Cranachan. We then wrote up the instructions, recalling the main steps we followed. 📝😋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Inspired by our Scottish book study of ‘Stick Mannie’ we created our own stick characters. We gathered some natural materials from our local woods to help us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📚

We have been enjoying the newly improved spots to sit and book displays in our Laurieston lab. 📚

Our Laurieston legends so far this term. It’s great to celebrate pupils showing our school values continuously. 👏☺️

Our 3 Scottish poetry finalists and overall winner S. A very well done to all who learned and performed their poems. 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This weeks Laurieston Legend awarded for always showing our value of honesty. Well deserved! 👏🏻

Full of festive cheer for Christmas jumper day and our Christmas lunch. 🎄🎅🏼

It was great to pair up again with primary 7 on Thursday for some paired reading as a different way to spend our daily ERIC time. 📚

During last weeks outdoor learning we made bird feeders using apples and seeds to help look after our local wildlife. 🍏🌳

Applying the strategy of visualisation we listened to a description and the sounds of Excitable Edgar before drawing what we thought he would look like. We shared our ideas with peers before revealing the real Edgar in his Christmas advert. ✍🏼👂🏼🎨🎄
