P7 – Wk. Beg. 10.10.22
What a quick first term! Everyone is ready for a little break after all the hard work that’s been going on.
This week we started talking about The John Muir Award which our class will work towards throughout the year. We found out about John Muir and why he is a significant Scot from the past: he was an explorer, adventurer and ecologist who cared greatly about nature. Look out for our future work to share what we learn about him. As an introduction, we watched a short film about John Muir and the award and then we went outside for some blether stations. Groups discussed their ideas about nature and helping our environment; these will be used to create our action plan.
Our focus on ‘Carbon Crunching Carrots’ was completed as the class were challenged to design packaging for our carrot crisps. We looked at features of packaging, discussing target audiences and persuasive language. Everyone worked really hard on this task and the packets are going to look great on the classroom wall!
We completed the third week of ‘Well-being Champions’ training and this week the focus was on mindfulness and growth mindset. Some of us found that we felt calmer after trying mindfulness exercises. We were also reminded of the power of YET when faced with something challenging: I can’t do this…yet!
In numeracy, we were using all four operations when rounding to estimate and we discussed when this would be useful in real life, such as, when shopping to keep an approximate running total.
We have lots to look forward to next term but, in the meantime, I hope you have a lovely October holiday!

Happy Friday everyone! We have had another busy week in P4F:
In literacy, we have been completing activities revising our 3 phonemes au, ew and ow. Also we have been working on our reading comprehension skills including predicting and prior knowledge. The pupils have also been looking at alliteration, similes and metaphors to help us with our writing.
In maths, we rounded up our learning on 3D shapes and have been building up our confidence using our place value skills.
Our focus has been on kindness and empathy in HWB. Pupils had great discussions for ways they can be kind in and around the school and displayed their ideas on mind maps. They designed a poster with a slogan about kindness. I was blown away with the creativity! Next week, we will focus more on empathy.
In other areas, we used our knowledge of food chains to create food chain collages. Pupils were able to choose which food chain they created and used a variety of skills to create their food chains. What fun! In PE, we are coming to end of our block on netball and combined all the skills we have been learning and played a game.
Hopefully next week will have better weather!

P4S w/c 3.10.22
Happy Friday Everyone,
This week we have been busy in our Numeracy lessons learning about how we can use rounding to help us answer tricky addition and subtraction questions.
We have also been using our STEM skills to build 3D shapes.
We have been learning more about how to create a PowerPoint Presentation in GLOW including adding pictures to our slides and adding fun transitions between slides.
Our Class Novel is called The Hodgeheg and the main character Max, is trying to find a safe way to cross the road. Max is a young and very clever hedgehog who is learning about road safety, just as we are in our HWB lessons.
Have a wonderful weekend,
from,
Miss Steedman

P5 Weekly Blog 6th October 2022
Happy Friday!
This week in literacy, P5 have been continuing their novel “Horrid Henry” and read the story “Horrid Henry’s Dance Class.” The pupils have been enjoying the humorous stories and have been developing their comprehension, visualisation and metalinguistics. In spelling, we all investigated the “ee” phoneme and it’s representations.
For writing we wrote an explanation about how the circulatory system works. This was incredibly tricky but using the success criteria, the pupils were able to produce some excellent work:
For maths, the pupils have been building their confidence and knowledge with place value and rounding and completed an assessment to demonstrate their understanding. Pupils were asked to roll numbers up to 7 digits, read, write and order them, partition them and then round them to the nearest 10 and 100. Wow! Lots of skills to demonstrate!
In other areas, we tried a new team game in PE where we had to pass a pool noodle using our feet to try and get it to the other side of the hall. We had to work as a team and had brilliant fun! We also done lots of STEM this week to create models that represented the circulatory system and respiratory system.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
