Good morning Primary 3/4

Another busy week and I am really enjoying seeing all your Health Week activities. Lots of you are getting ready for our virtual sports day on Friday.

Exciting news boys and girls ! Primary 3/4 are top of the Sumdog leader board at the moment! Well done everyone , what a team! Keep on playing and see if we can stay there until Thursday !

My biggest boy, Euan, started a new summer job this week (since he has now left school). He is stocking the fruit and vegetables at Morrisons . He is hoping to save lots of his money for when he starts university in September. I am looking forward to using his discount card for all my shopping. Maybe I should give you a learning task to calculate how much money I will save each week with my shopping 😉

I have been missing spending time with my best friend, like many of you are. We have been friends since we were 3 years old. I sent her a little card with a photo of us in it to let her know I miss her. I thought you might like to see the photo. They are taken 40 years apart! I wonder if you will all still be friends in 40 years time.

I have been looking for lots of new activities for you for next week’s learning grid. Joshua asked me to let you all know that he has found a fabulous website that he thinks you might enjoy. This is the website, please ask a grown up to help you :

Adventure Academy

I have been writing lots of your reports and looking at all the hard work you have been doing this week. It makes me smile when I see your photos and E-portfolios.

Keep working hard and enjoy spending time with your families.

Take care

Good Morning Primary 3/4,

I have enjoyed seeing all your VE Day work and photographs from last week and all the miles you have been walking this week. You are a very busy class!

Some of you have been emailing me to tell me what you have been doing or sending me your photographs of the work you have finished. Lots of you have been updating your e-portfolios or just commenting on the class blog page. Thank you for all your messages, it is lovely to hear from you and to know that you are all well.

I check every day how you have been getting on with Education City, Giglets and Sumdog tasks. It is great to see the progress you are making with all these activities. I will add new books to Giglets next week. We have entered the East Ayrshire Sumdog Contest, so get playing between 15th May – 21st May!

Here is a selection of some of the work you have been completing at home this week. I am very proud of you all! Well done!

Thank everyone for sharing your learning this week. Enjoy your weekend. See you on Monday with our new learning grid for the week ahead.

Good morning Primary 3/4,

I hope you have all had a good week. I can’t quite believe that we have now been in lock down for 7 weeks. I still miss seeing you all and having fun learning together in class.

I really enjoyed our VE Day celebrations on Friday 8th May and having a tea party with all the Fenwick Staff was great fun. I made a Kahoot Quiz about WWII for everyone to take part in. Miss Dasgupta won! We all baked scones and cakes and drank tea from our best china tea cups. I even put on my hat for a wee giggle! I relaxed with a bit of mindful colouring this week and made some bunting to decorate my decking.

Fraser, Eilidh and Murray have continued to complete their school work online and Euan has been helping them with their work. I set them the wee Ice Egg challenge from the expressive art grid and they were very pleased with the beautiful ice eggs they created.

Now that we are able to walk more than once a day I am enjoying trying to keep my steps up and I am looking forward to completing lots of miles for our school fundraising challenge!

On a walk this week, Mr Ross took a photo of a beautiful sunset and when we looked closer we spotted a little stick man under the tree. Can you find him?

We also spotted some animals when we were out walking with Olive. Can you see the animals we saw?

This was the bird that I mentioned I had seen in our Learning Grid this week. Did any of you find out more about a Pied Wagtail?

Eilidh has also been taking lots of photographs for her Guide Photography Badge , she blew a bubble on a daisy and lay down on the ground to get some close ups. Maybe you could give this a try too.

I am looking forward to reading your e-portfolios and emails to find out what you have been doing this week too.

Take care

From Mrs Ross

Good morning Primary 3/4,

I am enjoying seeing your e-portfolios and reading your emails to me. I have seen lots of your Thankful Thursday comments and they have put a smile on my face 🙂 . I was also very excited to have a FaceTime call with Mrs Conetta and see her beautiful new baby girl , Grace.

We have been out walking around our local area and over our local golf course. They have allowed locals access as long as we stay away from the greens and the bunkers– remember Miss Jaffrey was teaching us about these different golf course areas ? We have seen some beautiful sunsets too, dusk is my favourite part of the day.

Eilidh has been attending her Guides on Zoom. She found it a bit strange at first but she is getting more used to it now. They had a chocolate quiz this week which she was very good at!

Mr Ross and I have a zoom dinner party with our friends who live in London every Friday night. We have enjoyed this so much, and seeing them every week that we have decided to keep doing this even after lockdown has ended. Here is some of the delicious food that Mr Ross made last week.

We have all been playing this new game as a wee challenge . It is called Konpira Fune Fune. . It is good fun and makes your brain think fast ! Euan beat me tonight in our family challenge , can you work out what the rules are? Maybe you could give it a go with your family . Here is a video of us playing .
