Fun from Friday!

On Friday 15th November, we held an achievement assembly to celebrate our learners. We selected four pupils from each class to receive a certificate matching to one of the four capacities of curriculum for excellence.

More information about the four capacities can be found here-

Our first certificates were awarded to Oliver, Wallace, Illy and Ellie. Well done!

We loved hearing about the children’s wider achievements too. Look out for our SWAY for more celebrations.

This week Primary 3/4 enjoyed a special treat of a movie with popcorn as their class reward. Each day our “secret student” earns a petal towards our target and when the flower blooms we’ve reached our reward.

In numeracy we have been learning to use the more than and less than symbols to compare numbers. In literacy we learned about onomatopoeia and made Bonfire Safety posters. We began planning for our new topic ‘jobs in our community’.

See what we’ve been up to below.

Pupils had a fun filled day on Friday, celebrating with STEM, a parade, group activities with p5/6 and finishing with a party! We loved seeing all the effort that went into costumes.

This term in P.E we are learning about fitness and keeping our bodies strong and healthy. We have changed our P.E days to Tuesday and Wednesday. However as we are beginning to rehearse for our school nativity this is subject to change. We would really appreciate it if pupils could bring their gym kit to school every day, or leave it on their peg in school, where possible. Thank you!

Here are some snaps of this week’s fitness stations. Can your child identify the cardio and strength stations?

Take a look at what we’ve been up to in the STEM room with Mrs Rooney.

STEM with Mrs Rooney

Term 1

Well done to all of our learners on a very successful term one! It has flown in, we have had lots of fun bonding as a new p3/4 class and have worked hard in all areas.

We know term 2 will be just as busy! We look forward to starting our whole school leadership groups, a new topic and taking part in the Ochiltree Nativity performance.

Have a lovely October break everyone!

Despite some drizzly conditions Primary 3/4 thoroughly enjoyed their Autumn amble through the village!

We focused on using our senses to describe what we could see, hear, smell, taste and feel along our walk.

‘I smell delicious chips coming from the hub!’ Oliver

‘I think I can smell soup!’ Wallace

‘I can see bright orange leaves’ Molly

‘I see my house!’ Lottie

‘I can feel raindrops’ Illy

‘I can smell the leaves of this green hedge’ Peyton

‘I can feel the wet grass under my feet’ Finley.

We also managed to sneak in a wee play at the park!

Back in class

Back in school we have been learning the different phonemes that make the ‘ai’ sound (ai/ay/a-e/a).

We are learning to add on and take away multiples of ten and one hundred. (e.g. 125 + 50 or 1678 + 300). We have been singing away about not changing the units.

We have used our senses to write descriptively and thoroughly enjoyed some music from Mrs MJ.

We finish up on Friday 10th of October for the October holidays, please note Mrs Meek will not be in this day and the class will be taken by Miss Smith.

What have we been learning this week?

Click on the SWAY above to see some snaps of our recent learning.

We have been continuing with place value in numeracy. We got outdoors to create a giant place value grid and we became the digit values.  We even have been singing about 10 more/10 less. Ask us if we can remember!

We’ve been busy in PE, improving our ball skills and learning how to jump safely.

Our topic focus is owls and we learned how owls have adapted to become good birds of prey.

We have been using interesting adjectives to write about the dark, this ties in with our Novel study.

Remember this week we have our sponsored walk on Wednesday.

Parents night is Thursday 9th of October. Keep an eye out on the App for further information.
