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!

P2b – Week beginning 31st August

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

Primary 7 – Week beginning 31st August

We have had another positive and productive week in P7.

It was lovely to get outside on Monday afternoon to explore our grounds; we made great use of the hand lenses to examine items close up and had fun collecting minibeasts to study (which we then released back where they were found).

Fingers-crossed we have another dry Monday next week but just in case…. please do remember to bring a waterproof jacket.

In the classroom, we have been revising multiplication methods, creating some optical illusion artwork and having some super discussions about the novel, ‘Dark Isle’.   We also carried out a science experiment to find out how washing-up liquid works.

HOME LEARNING 

Please keep reading a text of your choice for 15-30 minutes each day (or longer, if you like!).

Follow the link to see your tasks for Literacy and Numeracy.  The literacy task will help prepare you for writing in class on Wednesday.    LINK – 7th Sept

Remember also, if you are wishing to go forward for the House Captain elections please be prepared with your speech for Tuesday 8th September.

Have a great weekend!

P4 Weekly Blog 4.9.20

Another busy week has gone by and what a week it has been!
We’ve been really busy in P4 and have been revisiting our school values and rules.

We showed commitment when we didn’t give up when we were making our fortune tellers.

We showed achievement when some people got their positive notes.

We showed ambition when we tried to work our hardest in all our work.

We showed teamwork when we helped each other.

We showed truth by being honest.

We showed respect by showing magic movement and holding doors for others.

 

For your homework task, please re-listen to the continents song on youtube and learn the names of the seven continents.

P6W: Week beginning 31st August

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
