We’ve had another fantastic week in P4a. In maths, we explored probability and reinforced our times tables through active learning stations. In literacy, we learned all about the features of non-fiction books. We practised our note-taking skills to help us gather key facts and organise information. Then, we used our notes to plan and create our very own non-fiction books. We worked incredibly hard and felt so proud of our finished pieces! We’re hoping to add them to our school library so others can enjoy reading them too. We also had our final football session this week and took part in a friendly tournament. It was a great chance to show off our new skills and demonstrate brilliant teamwork and sportsmanship.

Have a lovely long weekend,
Miss Maclennan and P4a

This week P2a were learning about fractions, the class had a lot of fun using the cubes to figure out half’s and quarters and even challenged themselves further with 3 quarters and thirds.

We began learning about procedural writing by practising sequencing a set of instructions, highlighting why it’s important instructions are clear and in the correct order.

The class also had a fun with their P6 paired reading buddies as we took it outside this week, thanks to their amazing reading the two classes got a chance to have a play together.

In the playroom we are being history detectives learning about people, things and life in the past. So far we have learned about Victorian schools and the history of the telephone. Some of the class were building their own Victorian schools and tables and chairs.

Another busy week in p5a! We have been learning strategies for long multiplication in Maths. Writing fabulous explanation texts in Writing, and creating movie trailers for our reading books. We have been coding in ICT and learning all about sustainability and helping our environment in Topic. We have  been exploring this further in our Creative Enquiry stations. We have started by planting lots of flowers outside to brighten up our area and attract wildlife.
have a lovely long weekend!

P6a have demonstrated brilliant coding skills this week.  We used the app Scratch to help us create coding animations.  If we were new to coding our friends helped us by giving little tips and showing us how to solve any problems.  Superb cooperation, creativity and coding.

First week back after the Easter break and it was a busy one for P2a.

The class continued working through their spelling programme learning the ‘ss’ sound, they were excellent when using the alphabet boards making and breaking words.

There was lots of teamwork and creativity on show in the playroom this week.

We also went outside for some outdoor learning to complete science experiments. The class had to look around the playground for items they thought would sink or float and test it in buckets of water. They had lots of fun, engaged amazingly and made some brilliant predictions.

This week we were only here for 4 days because it was the Easter holidays. For maths we have been doing box method and it was really fun ,we solved 2 digit by 2 digit and some people did  3 digit by 2 digit .for PE we are doing athletics and today we did golf . We planted our own sunflowers this week and we planted flowers behind our huts . We have been doing reading tasks for our literacy . Our spelling test was good too.
