This week in P1a we have been learning our number stories to 9. Kianna “9+0=9” Isla “2+7=9” Gary “5+4=9”

We went a visit to Tesco. Ben “We tried some cheese.” Katie “We went in the big freezers brrrr!!” “The big lorry reversed in to the depot and we saw lots of milk coming out.”

P1b have been learning all about healthy foods. We went on a visit to Tesco to learn  all about where our food comes from.  We had great fun.

In P2a we have been learning about the two times table. We have been doing experiments about floating and sinking.  Rudy learned some materials float and others sink.  Emma learned a lollipop stick floats.  We had a sports practice. Eilidh “I liked the egg and spoon race”

Our challenge in P2b this week was to make boats which could float and hold shells. Yvie, Kai, Jessica and Lacey managed to get theirs to float and hold 5 shells. Well done!!!  We also did an experiment to see if an egg floated or sank in fresh and salty water.  We made predictions and tested them. Barney – “I think it will sink in salty water.” Yvie – ” I think it will float in salty water.” Coll thought it was really interesting.

P3 have learned about the story of Medusa and they made Medusa masks. The class have been writing letters and learned about the Greek alphabet.  In Maths we have been learning about Data Analysis.

In P3/4 the class has completed the “Wellie project”. They look fantastic!!!  We have been singing with P5/6 and are sounding better every day.

This week in P4 we have been starting to research Olympic athletes. We have also been preparing for Sports Day and are becoming pros at the sack race.  On Thursday, Mr Tyson brought the Galloway Mountain Rescue van and allowed us to see/try some of the First Aid equipment.

P4/5 have been busy this week examining graphs. We have also been taking photos and uploading them.  We have also been classifying animals.  We were surprised to learn that a dolphin was a mammal.  Caitlin, Craig and Erin took part in a bike skills session which they thought was really fun.

P5 have travelled a staggering 3600 miles in their Daily Mile Challenge and have now reached Washington DC. They had fun at their first tin whistle session and hope to show some videos of this soon.

P5/6 in Maths this week have been working with data and having fun learning about frequency tables. We have been planning an imaginary writing piece and have enjoyed thinking of ideas to use.  In topic, Kacey enjoyed learning about Oman and the United Nations Convention of Childrens Rights.  We all enjoyed making Mr Stink out of indoor materials.  We enhanced our communication and teamwork skills.

This week in P6 Anna and Ruby did a fencing demo and Tessa and Leah played against Annan and won a medal.

In P6/7 we have been practising for our play . For PE we’ve been playing rounders.
P7 did their solo talks for the High School teachers. We had to talk for at least three minutes on someone who has inspired us.

 

A reminder that the school welcomes news on Wider Achievement – ‘big and small’ activities and achievements that happen out of school, e.g. a pupil has baked a cake for the first time, can now tie their shoelaces, swam a length of the pool, won an award for a sport, etc

 

Please send in an email (photos also welcome) or a note so we can add wider achievements to Good Work folders. Pupils in p4-7 can add photos and comments directly in to their My Merit (online portfolio) pages.
