P5W Term 1
Mr. Wilson, the new teacher at Gorebridge Primary School, is excited to guide the Primary 5 class through a year of learning and growth. The class is diving into topics like the Tropical Rainforest, Scottish Wars of Independence, and comparisons of Scotland with other countries. Across subjects like Literacy, Numeracy, and Social Studies, students will engage in a variety of activities that aim to enhance their skills and knowledge. From reading and writing tasks to math concepts and exploring the wonders of rainforests, this school year promises to be full of discovery and fun for the students of P5W. Health and well-being, along with expressive arts, are also integral parts of the curriculum, ensuring a holistic approach to education.

P5W Term 1
An introduction... Hello parents / carers! My name is Mr. Wilson and I am a new teacher to Gorebridge Primary School. This year I will be taking your child through their Primary 5 journey. I feel the class have settled back into school after such a long absence incredibly well, especially when we consider the circumstances of this year. They amaze me everyday with their willingness to learn. I hope to get to know all of you better by the end of the year and share with you the successes that every child in P5W will make this year. Mr. Wilson.
The year ahead...

Health & Well Being P.E. will be taught weekly on a Wednesday and Thursday. All P5s will take part in outdoor PE (weather permitting) in a range of different activities that aim to get them moving and trying out different forms of exercise.

How you can help? I am keen to work in partnership with our families to support learning, behaviour and progress. Please stay in touch If there is an issue, let s discuss this at the earliest possible time. Help your child to stay organised: Reminding your child to complete home learning. Wearing P.E. Kit on P.E. Days (Term 1: Tuesdays and Thursdays) Bringing a water bottle (water only) to school Return letters promptly to School.
Home Learning Children should be completing home learning 4 to 5 times a week. This should include: Spelling Wall practise (10 mins) BMF practise (10 mins) Daily reading (10 mins) Spelling Walls and Basic Maths facts will be available on Seesaw for your child s use. Other Home learning tasks will be set and shared on Seesaw, these will usually be topic related.
I hope that this information about how our year is going to come together and that term 1 content is a bit clearer. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to message me through Seesaw or contact the school office. I am more than happy to go over anything with you. - Mr Wilson
