  It has been a busy week as our practice for our showcase is in full swing! We can’t wait to share our learning and all our hard work in our performance next week.

• This Week in P7a

  This week in writing we began planning for a Glasgow wide poetry competition entitled: My hidden Glasgow. We started by creating Glasgow themed mood boards, which we’ll use to plan our poems. In maths we translated Roman numerals, and solved problems using them. We also challenged ourselves to some very long equations, which included brackets, square numbers and square roots. We continued looking at WW2 through our class novel “The Boy in the striped pyjamas”. We also studied a range of sources to decide whether the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was necessary.

We have all been trying to practise our songs and our main focus now is to become a little louder! We had a visit from the Budding Engineers who introduced us to their website/app BlocksCAD. We all used coding to make cups and tried our best to do this independently. Hopefully one day we can actually use a 3D printer to create them. We connected our learning between fractions and decimals and used a place …

• This week in P1b!

  Primary 1b have enjoyed another busy and engaging week in class, with lots of opportunities to learn through practical activities, discussion and play. In Maths, we explored adding three or more numbers together. The children used a range of concrete materials and resources to help them count and combine numbers. We also continued our learning about heavier and lighter, comparing different objects and discussing which items weighed more or less. In Literacy, our phonics sound this week was “ph.” The children practised recognising and saying the sound, as well as spotting it in words. We also worked on sentence writing …
