Week 12 Learning (WB 6th November)

During assembly on Wednesday, Primary 5 shared 2 of their Make your Mark experiences with the whole school.  Abiela and Logan from p5a spoke about when we made smoothies. Anas and Hawaa from our class presented about Pond Dipping.  Our presenters were fabulous!  P5 were fantastic audience members encouraging and supporting their classmates who were bravely leading the presentation.

We recapped the names of angles during our maths lesson on Tuesday with this fun song! It’s so catchy the song has been stuck in Mrs Sutherland’s head all week!!

In French this week we enjoyed playing a game of ‘Jacque A Dit’ (Simon Says).  It was a fun way of testing our knowledge of french body parts!  Ask us how to play at home and see how well we do!!

Our focus in PE is Scottish Ceilidh dancing in preparation for our next Make your Mark learning experience.  We had fun learning the Virginia Reel! It was tricky to keep in time with the music but we know we will be experts soon!

It is Book Week Scotland next week, children are welcome to bring in their favourite book to read and talk about in class! 📚❤️

Have a good weekend,

Mrs Sutherland.

Animation

Primary 2 drew their own reindeers.

Then used an app called ChatterKid to make their own animations!

They had to capture an image and use the record functions to record the speech. Pupils were then able to add filters, stickers and text.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to share them all but there will be plenty more opportunities!

A christmas message!

Read, Write, Count bags – one

On Friday Primary 2 were introduced to the Read, Write, Count bag which we will be taking home at the end of the November.

The Primary 2 bag includes

  • How Many Trees? by Barroux
  • Rocketmole by Matt Carr
  • Story cubes with characters, places, and objects to inspire writing and storytelling
  • A notebook and writing pencil
  • Shape Shuffle card game with Talk It Out/Act It Out prompts on the reverse side
  • An activity booklet for parents including information and inspiration for using the items at home

 

 

We listened to the story and created a storyboard to show the beginning, middle and end.

As part of Scottish Book week we will be exploring other ways to use the resource bag.

How many trees?

Primary 2 have explored the playground looking at the trees around us. Inspired  by  the book ‘How Many Trees?’, the pupils explored the playground searching for different shapes of leaves. Then then used a leaf Id to identify the surrounding trees based on the shape of the leaves.

If you’d like to do this at home you can find the leaf id sheet here.

After this Primary 2 discussed the impact of winter on the local wildlife. We then made bird feeders mixing lard or coconut oil with bird seeds and cereals.

In class we then found out about St. Francis of Assisi and his love of nature. We remembered Pope Francis call for Care for our common home and recognised the importance of caring and providing for the animals in our world both local and worldwide.

P2B are outdoors every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
