P7 – Week beginning 7th September

Everyone in P7 has been working extremely hard this week!  We have had two consecutive days with all pupils achieving our recognition board target of listening well and giving their best effort; well done P7s!

We have been busy developing problem solving skills through investigating different number systems.  Challenge: teach someone at home how to use Roman numerals.

For science, we carried out another experiment to find out why we use soap, and not just water, when washing our hands.  We are getting good at predicting what we think will happen in an experiment and giving reasons, before finding out the actual results.

The atmosphere in the classroom was of total concentration while doing imaginative writing on Wednesday; I was very impressed by the motivation and enthusiasm around the room!

Home Learning Tasks – 14.09.20

  • Continue trying to read for 15-30minutes each day.  This could be reading on your own, with an adult or reading a story to a younger sibling.
  • The power of positive thinking – at the end of each day, I would like you to think of the best thing(s) about your day.  You can choose to write these down as a daily list or tell someone in your family.  Think of anything that has made you smile or feel good that day.  Examples: feeling proud of a piece of work; someone giving you a compliment; you doing something kind for someone else; having your favourite dinner; seeing a friend or relative; hearing a funny joke; taking part in a game; spending time with a pet…
  • Keep practising any times tables you find tricky.

Please remember a rain jacket on Monday for our outdoor session.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Johnstone

P6P Week Beginning 31st August 2020

Hello P6,

We have made it to week four already. Everyone has made a great start and are settling in well to the new routines – well done.

There has been lots of great work going on so far in class. Last week were were revising place value, writing interesting stories and having lots of fun with drama, as well as enjoying reading the Roald Dahl novel ‘Matilda’. We also had a visit from Mrs White who took us outside to learn more about maths in the outdoors and we all found it really interesting.

HOME CHALLENGE 07/09/20

Have a think about one of your best days ever. Why was it the best day ever? How did you feel? I look forward to you sharing your stories in class throughout the week. We will be building on these ideas in this weeks piece of writing.

Have a lovely evening.

P3 Week beginning 7th September

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.

Here is the link to the home learning for this week.

Home Learning 7.9.20

Keep practising your reading, spelling and mental maths. Have a good week everyone!

Monday 7th September 2020

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 !

Here is a link to homework tasks

P5 Week Beginning 7th September 2020

Over the last week in Primary 5, we have been revising our knowledge of Place Value and we were keen to learn more about 5 and 6 digit numbers.

We have also been learning our 8x table which we discovered has a link to the 4x table, making it easier to remember the 8x table facts.

This week, the P5 Numeracy Challenge at Home is to learn the 8x table – especially the fact 7 x 8 = 56, which we discovered was a really interesting fact to learn.

0  x 8 = 0

1 x 8 = 8

2 x 8 = 16

3 x 8 = 24

4 x 8 = 32

5 x 8 = 40

6 x 8 = 48

7 x 8 = 56

8 x 8 = 64

9 x 8 = 72

10 x 8 = 80

Our Literacy Challenge this week will be to learn some of the words which we struggled with during our spelling activity on Monday.

Have a super duper week,

from, Miss Steedman

P1L & P1R 07/09/20

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!
