P1R and P1L – Monday 9th November

This week we have enjoyed the story The Smartest Giant in town by Julia Donaldson. We have been working on pattern and sequence. We made repeat pattern paper chains and fish. This week our sound was ‘m’ for monkey. Can you find things around your house beginning with ‘m’? Lots of animals have patterns and we talked about patterns on our clothes and in our homes. Which patterns can you see in your bedroom? Please continue to work on the common words a, at and the. Next week we will continue exploring pattern and our new sound will be ‘d’ for dog.

P5 Week Beginning 9th November 2020

Hello P5,

I hope that you are all well and that you have had a wonderful weekend.

Last week, we were very busy performing our Shadow Plays which was a lot of fun and we tried out another experiment with colour by creating Newton’s Disc and spinning it to see the spectrum of colours turn white.

P6P Week Beginning 2nd November 2020

Hello P6P,

We have made it to the end of another great week.

This week we wrote more spooky stories. Many of us managed to use lots of adjectives and wow words to create a really spooky atmosphere. Macy also shared her story with the class – it was spooktacular!

We have been having lots of fun in PE. Kilmarnock Football Club have been football training with us and we have been practicing dribbling, passing and shooting. We are looking forward to the next couple of weeks as we work towards playing in a mini class tournament.

We have also been looking at observational drawing in art, exploring line, tone, texture and pattern with our pencil. After lots of practice with our pencil we created bonfire night scene drawings incorporating the features line, tone, texture and pattern.

Finally, we have been learning about Remembrance Day. We coloured in poppies that have been sent home to display in our windows. We also created a large poppy as a class to display on the classroom window.

HOME CHALLENGE 09/11/20

This week for your home challenge I would like you to practice more with line, tone, texture and pattern in preparation for next week’s art activity. Can you explain what each of these features are to someone at home and draw a picture to go with your spooky story from this week? Remember to add all of these features, thinking about the feeling of the things you are drawing and shading areas of light and dark as we practiced in class.

Have a relaxing weekend,

Miss McLeish 🙂

Primary 2B – week beginning 2nd November

Hello P2B,

We has a fantastic time last week doing our Halloween activities. Unfortunately we did not have time for our jokes on the Friday as we were so busy enjoying our activities. We are going to tell our jokes on Wednesday afternoon so make sure you remember them. On Monday we practiced our Spanish as we learned about the Spanish holiday Dia de los muertos. We will learn about Guy Fawkes this week and make big poppies for our class window on Friday. Make sure to look out for them on Friday after school. The class have got poppies home to decorate and put in your window at home (similar to the rainbows during lockdown) to remember those that fought in the war.

We have been looking at the phonemes “ph” and “n” this week. Here are some words to practice at home. Along with your common words that need to be learned to aid reading and writing.

Red/green – Phil,  graph,  phone,  photo,  dolphin

out,  now,  new

Blue –  pin,  nap,  net,  sand,  hand

can,  we,  into

As of next week reading books will be given out on different days. Try to read the book every night and discuss what the story is about. Please ensure reading books and the home learning pack that p2 were given are in their bags everyday as we use them in class and I will be swapping some things in the home learning pack from time to time. Biff will get their new book on Monday, Floppy will get their new book on Tuesday and Kipper will get their new book on Wednesday.

Home learning task – last week we looked at symmetry and used a mirror to make symmetrical pumpkins. Use any resources you have (for example, sticks, stones, building blocks etc) to make symmetrical pictures. Remember for it to be symmetrical it needs to be exactly the same on both sides. Here are some pictures to inspire your creations.

Primary 3 – week beginning 2.11.20

We had a busy week last week with lots of Halloween things happening in the classroom. On Friday it was fantastic to see everyone in their costumes – some people looked very scary!

This week we will be starting to look at Remembrance Day and why we wear poppies.

In numeracy we were practising the bridging strategy last week, and this week we are looking at counting on. A good way of checking that you have mastered a strategy is to teach it to someone else so let’s hope there are a lot of adult volunteers ready to learn.

Keep practising your reading and your spelling words. Here is the link for this week’s

Primary 3 Week beginning 2.11.20

I have also set you some maths homework on Education City.  We looked at it in class and you should all have your log ins.

Have a great week,

Mrs McMillan 🙂

Hello everyone

I hope you all enjoyed Hallowe’en , I heard that you lots of you dressed up on Friday at  school, our school  must have looked very different on Friday with all the funny outfits and some of the teachers looking a bit different too! I saw some photos of the Pumpkin trail on Friday night,it looked very spooky and exciting. Well done to everyone who helped make it happen and I’m  sure everyone who went had a great night. It made up for not being able to go Trick or Treating this year

We did lots of Hallow’een activities last week both outside and inside  , we listened to the story Room on the Broom and we made the witch .  In Numeracy we have been learning to sequence and order numbers to 100,adding 10 and 11 to a number and subtraction. We have been working hard on all our numeracy activities.  This week we are going to begin our new Topic The Ocean

Keep practising all your words at home and remember to read your book to someone at home.

Our new phoneme this week is ee

Words to practise

Red group  green three sleep feel need deep

Common words’; this  that then  with

Blue group hen red pen nest rest

Common words  just  you  be  me

Read a book and see how many ee words you can spot in the book

P7 – Monday 2nd November

Good afternoon P7,

We have got November off to a good start with lots of different activities going on here today.  We were lucky to escape the rain this afternoon and spent time outside weeding the raised beds, going on an observation alphabet hunt and getting creative with loose parts.

For maths, we were discussing ‘real-life’ problems where rounding to estimate an answer can be useful.  Next time you are shopping, try to keep an estimated running total in your head!

In spelling this week, most groups have a focus on prefixes.  We discussed where some of the prefixes in our language originate from… can you remember any examples?

Home Learning Tasks

  1. Here are your spelling words to practise at home.

Please discuss them with someone and try to use them  in conversation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. On Wednesday you will be challenged to use figurative language (similes, alliteration, onomatopoeia…) to write a poem titled Bonfire Night.  To prepare, try to think about what you would see, hear, smell, taste and feel if you were at a fireworks display.  If you need some inspiration, try looking up a video of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay fireworks.

  2. Please log on to our Teams page and find the channel titled ‘Dark Isle’.  You will find some questions on the discussion board, please reply to each of them.  Remember to answer in sentences and give reasons for your answers.

I’m looking forward to another great week with you all!

P4 Weekly Blog 2.11.20

Good morning everybody!
What a wet and windy start to the week. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and managed to have some fun on Halloween.

I have been very impressed with the hard working in P4 last week- we did a writing assessment and I really enjoyed reading all your spooky stories! The standard of work was fabulous.

For this weeks home learning tasks I’d like you to give the following a go:

 

  1. Practice your reading books! We will be focusing on reading strategies very shortly and will be looking to improve our skills when reading tricky words.
  2. You guys have been great at adding multiples of 10 to 2 or 3 digit numbers. Let’s look at adding multiples of 100! Use a dice or pack of cards to make a 3 digit number eg 243. Then practice adding or taking away 100 from that number! You can do this on a piece of paper at home. Could you make it into a game and see if you can get more points than an adult at home?
  3. At the end of November, we will be doing a class talk on an animal of your choice. On Tuesday, I will give you a letter to take home explaining what I’ll be looking for. When you get this home, you can begin to research your animal and write up your talk. Remember to practice it so you can make eye contact with your audience! The class talks will take place on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th November, so you will have 2 weeks to prepare. Good luck!

Have a great week P4!
