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

Setting Up Email On Glow

Hi everyone!

I’m writing a post in case you would like to be able to email your teachers. Please follow the instructions below and you will be emailing in no time!

 

  1. Log into Glow and on your Launch Pad there should be a blue box that says ADD. Click on that.
  2. It will open up a small box that says “Add personal tile or app from library”. You should click on “app from library” which will take you to a new page.                             then 
  3. In the top right corner it has a search bar. Type in mail and look for the tile that says “Mail- Microsoft Office 365”. The app looks like this:                                                                          
  4. When you click on it, it will open up a new window and have a box that says “add to my Launch Pad“. Click on that and you will have successfully added it to your own launch pad! You can close the window down and return to your launch pad and the tile should have been added. When you open it up the first time you will be asked to choose a timezone (select Dublin, Edinburgh) and you will be taken to your inbox.

To send an email to a teacher, select new message in the top left corner.

Then on the right this will appear:

In the box that says “to” you can type in a teachers name and you can select their name from a drop down list. In the biggest box you can type your message and when you’re happy with that click on send.

 

Sorry for the lengthy post but I hope this helps. I’m sure your teachers would love to hear from you!
