Please could you take 30 sec to complete the following to see if we can be of help to you and your family

MANY THANKS, YOUR HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

P3 had a busy week last week with lots going on. We had a visit on Wednesday from Mrs White and had a great time doing some outdoor learning. First we tried to make a triangle shape using the whole class, then tried to find some triangular shapes in the playground. After that we started a story about some pirates, then tried out our pirate actions and voices ~ with most of us scaring Mrs White in the end!

In maths we were learning about doubles and near doubles – ask about what kind of numbers the answers to all doubles are.

We got our reading up and going, and some people managed to be star reader in their group with super reading aloud skills.

We designed our own pirate flags with some scary results, and also thought about what would be a treasure to us.

Hello everyone

We have been back at school for 3 weeks now and it has been lovely to see all the children again. The children have all settled back into school really well and are enjoying playing with their friends and getting back to learning new things at school. We have  become really good  at  remembering to wash and sanitize  our hands regularly .It’s part of our daily routine now!

In class we have been practising the key words for our reading books as well as the common words and this week you  will have a list of the key words and a card with the common words in a polly pocket in our school bag. You can practise these at home but only the spelling of the  common words  need to be practised.

In the polly pocket you may have a reading book to read and discuss at home .

In Numeracy we have been practising addition ,odd and even and we have been learning to partition the teen numbers as well as Shape and Measure. Our topic at the moment  is The Weather and the children have  enjoyed painting weather pictures and testing waterproof materials as well as spending time outdoors when we can !

Keep   practising …practice makes perfect ! Mrs Muir and Mrs Miller

This week in primary 1 we have been working very hard on our sounds and numbers. We have been learning all about the sound ‘s’ and we are beginning to develop our phonological awareness by looking at rhymes. We have began to explore counting to 10 and we have been looking at 3D shape too. We have also enjoyed reading stories and playing outside with our friends.

This week at home why not try to ‘number spot’ around where you live. Look for numbers on doors or on road signs etc. You could also try counting the number of stairs in your house or if you are out and about.

Hope you enjoyed sharing stories and discussing characters last week!

Mrs Carey and Miss Walley 🙂

Hello Primary 2b 🙂 ,

We have had a fantastic week getting settled into routines and doing lots of fantastic work! I have really enjoyed this week and I hope you enjoyed that too.

Every week I will put on a blog with some home learning tasks for you to complete.

This week we have been working very hard on our initial sounds, completing important assessments and finding one more and one less in numeracy. We have been partitioning numbers too and we were very good at this!

Phonics

We have been revising our initial sounds this week and we have really enjoyed looking at the Jolly Phonics songs. Go to this link and show an adult in your family the great actions and sounds we have been practising.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvAYUvQUrGo

Numeracy

Use items in your house or garden. Count them then add or remove one and have a big think about how many you would have now. Count them to check your answer. You can also go to this website to play the game we played in class. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/helicopter-rescue

We clicked on 1-20 in class but feel free to try harder levels if you want.

Good luck and tell me how you get on in class next week,

Miss Baillie

Hello P6W,

It’s the end of another busy week and I’m sure we’re all looking forward to the weekend.

This week we have been focusing on strategies to help us learn and doing lots of activities on developing a Growth Mindset.  I was very impressed with how we have been encouraging each other to persevere when tasks have been more challenging – well done!  We have also been learning how to use partitioning when multiplying and a few of our pupils enjoyed sharing their methods with the class.  In Literacy, we finished our class novel ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and we wrote a book review.

HOME CHALLENGE:

• We are still focusing on multiplication tables so please keep practising the ones you’re not sure of.  The trickiest tables are the 6x 7x and 8x.
• For taught writing we will be planning and writing a story from a pet’s point of view – have a think about what a day in the life of your pet would be like.  What would they be thinking? What would they say if they could speak? What do they enjoy? What don’t they like doing? If you don’t have a pet, maybe you could chat to someone who does and find out about their pet’s day.

Keep up the good work and have a lovely weekend.

Mrs W
