P6P Week Beginning 9th November 2020

Hello P6P,

We have all been working hard this week in P6. Well done to this weeks award winners and prize winners – keep up the good work!

This week in maths we have been exploring 3D shapes. We can confidently name all of the shapes and we have now been learning about the properties of 3D shapes. We were also creating accurate drawings of 3D shapes to be displayed in the classroom. Next week we will be looking at 3D shapes in the environment and will be taking our learning outdoors.

In art we have been continuing with our observational drawing, focusing on line, tone, texture and pattern. We began to create fantastic drawings of our favourite meals and will have the opportunity to finish them off next week.

We ended the week with a fun filled day of Children in Need activities, dressed in our pyjamas to raise money for a great cause.

HOME CHALLENGE 16/11/20

Next week we will be starting our new topic, The Victorians. For your home challenge this week I would like you to think about the following questions and share your ideas with me next week:

What do you know already about the Victorians?
What would you like to know about the Victorian era?

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss McLeish 🙂

P4 Children In Need Day

P4 had a lovely day today doing activities for Children In Need.

We wore our pyjamas to school and were lovely and cosy all day.

In the class we designed our own Pudsey and Blush and also had a go at some secret code breaking. We also did a Joe Wicks workout called “The Big Morning Move” which was part of last years Children In Need activities.

Thank you for all your donations!

Here are our nice pictures…

And here are our silly ones! Hope they made you smile, have a good weekend!

P1L – Friday 13th November 2002

We have been working so hard all week! We have been learning about the phonic ‘d’. We made ducks and dinosaurs and they look lovely on the wall in our classroom. We have been really busy making patterns using collage materials, outdoor materials and stampers. We are continuing to explore our common words and had fun playing ‘splat’ and ‘frying pan flip’. Please continue to learn your common words at home. We are focusing on it, in, is, the, and,is. We will be looking at dot patterns next week. Can you play a dice game and see how quickly you can recognise how many spots are on each side of the dice? I hope you have fun. We enjoyed Children In Need Day and made lots of Pudsey’s and a huge spotty paperchain. We enjoyed wearing our pyjamas and onesies too. Have a lovely weekend!

There will also be some division activities on Education City for you to complete starting from today (16.11.2020), which you may find tricky at first, but, with more practise, you will soon be experts.

Happy Learning P5,

P7 Remembrance Day Gallery 2020

Well done to P7, who have given thoughtful, respectful and mature responses to all the activities we have undertaken this week to commemorate Remembrance Day on the 11th November.

Here is a small sample of some of their super work…

Jack, “On 11.11.20. Primary 7 wrote acrostic poems for Remembrance Day, some of the words we used were world war, great war, soldiers etc. Once we wrote them in our daily writing jotters we typed them up on the laptop and sent them to Mrs Johnstone and she helped us make some alterations if needed.”

By Cara

John, “It was Remembrance Day and we decided to do artwork we designed medals on a bit of paper and then we made them out of plasticine, and they turned out so cool, but some people didn’t do that they done painting. They painted a piece of paper grey and the cut-out silhouette’s and stuck them down and use darker Gray paint to make nice clouds and then use green paint to make stems for poppies and we had the choice to cut out a poppy or to make one out of tissue paper and then stuck them down. they all turned out so good.”

Brooke, “Last week in Primary 7 we made a display for our window in the classroom, This is what we did – we drew poppies , then cut them out from the inside then we put tissue paper and cellophane and glued it on the back then stuck them to the window. We also made letters saying LEST WE FORGET the same way we made the poppies – we did one letter each and the others done the poppies, we done it in houses. It looked really cool from the outside.”

Unfortunately, I don’t have a photograph of the beautiful window display that was created with Miss Mair but I hope lots of you have been able to appreciate it when passing by.

P6W: week beginning 9th November 2020

Hello P6!

It’s Friday again, what a quick week! We’re rounding off our busy week with some Children In Need activities in the classroom. I know lots of pupils have decided to wear pyjamas to school to help raise money for this cause – your £1 donations will be greatly appreciated.

This week in maths, we have been learning how to calculate the perimeter of regular and irregular shapes. We enjoyed using measuring tapes and rulers to find the perimeters of surfaces in the classroom. Next week we will be taking our learning outdoors and finding perimeters in the playground. Our spelling focus this week is words with the prefixes tele, trans, kilo and fore.

Green Group: transatlantic transformation television foreground foremost kilogram kilometre

Blue Group: transaction transform telephone forecast foresee kilogram kilometre

Red Group: transport telescope forehead forename kilogram kilometre

We have also finished off our science topic with an end of topic assessment. Some of us found it quite tricky! Well done to Noah, Katie-Leigh, Taylor and Reece for achieveing super scores! We will be starting our new topic, The Victorians, next week.

HOME CHALLENGE:

Write out the 6x table and the dividing by 6 table
Go to the Topmarks website and play Hit The Button at least three times.

Have a think about our new topic – The Victorians. What do you already know? What would you like to find out? What activities would you like to do? Send me your thoughts and ideas in an email on Glow to avril.wilson@eastayrshire.org.uk

I look forward to hearing from you.

P3 Week beginning 9.11.20

Another busy week last week in P3 and we were learning about Remembrance Day. We did art together to make big poppies and poppy wreaths for our classroom windows.

We were also learning addition strategies in maths. We looked at the counting on strategy and also bridging. Ask us to teach you – it’s one of the best ways of ensuring that we have managed the strategy.

The link is here for your home learning tasks – there are also tasks in Education City so have a go at them.

P3 Home Learning 9.11.20

And last but not least – there were absolutely fabulous posters and models created for our water cycle task. Great job everyone, and the explanations about evaporation, condensation and precipitation were excellent. Super job P3. Everyone was very impressed.
