This week P6B looked at the layers of the ocean and all the wonderful animals that live there! We labelled a diagram that showed the 5 different layers of the ocean, and now we are working on a class display!

We used our iPads to research marine life and drew pictures of them that will be displayed on our topic wall. They will be placed within the ocean zone that they live in. We have worked incredibly hard on this and the drawings are beautiful!

See us next week for the finished result!

Primary 5 are developing sustainably at Wallacewell this term. We are growing flowers from seeds that are good for insects and birds.We need your help.

We are looking for plant pots to help us grow our seedlings in bigger pot. Primary 5 would be very grateful if you could donate any plant pots.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

It has been a busy week in P4b where we have taken part in lots of new learning and made the most of the lovely weather.

I enjoyed creating symmetrical pictures and paintings. Jessica

I know that symmetry is when you get the mirror image on the opposite side of the shape. Charlie

We can check if something is symmetrical using a mirror along the centre. Cooper L

A line of symmetry goes through the centre of the object. You can get more than one line of symmetry sometimes. Ruaridh R

We went outside to explore and took photos of symmetry in our environment. Some patterns and symmetry were in nature and some were in man-made objects. Finn

We drew the lines of symmetry on our photos of flowers, leaves, the climbing frame, benches and lots more. Poppy

Miss Bruce has taught us about primary and secondary sources and this will help us research for our personal projects. We will be using our writing skills to take notes and create a project. I am reporting on Hades. Drew

I am happy that we get to choose what we want to learn about. Samuel

We can’t quite believe it’s the end of Term 3! We have had an amazing term filled with lots of learning and made more fantastic memories.

I liked making Viking artefacts out of clay and painting them when they were dry. Jessica

In the playroom we used playdoh to stretch, squeeze, push and pull which helped us learn forces. Cooper S

We did a fractions assessment and I liked it because we got to show what we had learned. Bella

I was very happy to see new Dog Man books in the library – I’ve read 4 already!! Ryan

I finished my library book and was happy because it was a good book. Finn

Fractions have been fun and each time we learnt about them we learnt even more. Poppy

I wish you all a restful and safe Spring Break and can’t wait to see you again for Term 4!

Lots of love Mrs Wightman

The digital committee ran a competition about ‘safe use apps’ where children could choose their favourite app to recommend or design their own. The entries were all fantastic and the digital committee had a very hard job choosing the winners. There was one winner for each class p4-7 and our overall winner! Well done everyone!

This week we completed our abstract self portraits and reflected on how the colours represent our own personalities.

We’ve explored BSL (British Sign Language) in the creative enquiry room.

We were all successful in our transformation assessment and developed settings for our upcoming short stories.

We’ve been learning about Fractions. I know the Numerator and Denominator make up the fraction. Finn

I can use the Bar Model strategy to show a fraction. Even hard work like for P6! Sara

I enjoyed developing my passing skills in Football this week. Lots of people worked very hard. Ruaridh R

I enjoyed creating a poster with the facts about Easter. We got to decorate it like a giant Easter egg. Jessica

I liked learning how Easter eggs popular to represent parts of the Easter story. Bella

I really liked working out Equivalent Fractions by using strategies and remembering whatever you do to the numerator you also do to the denominator. Samuel

I enjoyed learning about Fractions. Maisie

I liked Art and dancing. Maria

Only one person in class would choose to have a real egg instead of a chocolate egg – and it isn’t Mrs Wightman!!

This week P5b managed to continue some of their symmetry tasks outside before the weather changed for the worse! Revision of the 4 operations is ongoing. In literacy P5b were learning to write a newspaper report about a natural disaster. I have been impressed with their progress.

Everyone enjoys Thursday afternoon as we have STEM in the creativity room . Lots of learning and fun.    Mrs. Jodah

This week we’ve been focusing on collating data and displaying it using a range of graphs.

We’ve made a real effort to develop our communication skills through team games, by giving encouragement and constructive criticism.

We created detailed character profiles to be used in our upcoming short stories.
