P2b had fun working with P5 pupils learning how to use a compass and follow directions using directional language. P2b were able to find North South East and West using their compass.

We’re going on a bear hunt
Last week p1b listened to the story We’re going on a bear hunt.
We went on our very own bear hunt around the school grounds. The children loved retelling the story in real life. This inspired our writing and art for the week. Check out our fantastic story maps.

P1b
A fantastic few weeks learning about changes and livings things as part of our topic we have been looking at how things change around us with each season.
We looked at the water cycle and how rain is created as part of this. We are learning words like evaporation, condensation and precipitation. We also explored living things and enjoyed learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and frogs.
P4a Update
It has been a busy and exciting couple of weeks in P4a! In writing, we have been creating engaging non-chronological reports, developing our research and writing skills. We have been focused on using connectives and different openers to make our writing even more interesting.
In maths, we’ve been exploring 2D and 3D shapes while continuing our work on fractions.
During PE, we’ve been lucky to have a football coach helping us develop new skills. As part of our Viking topic, we have advertised Viking longhouses and learned about the Battle of Largs. We even wrote diary entries from the perspective of Scots preparing for battle.
We have also had the chance to visit our lovely library and choose some new books to enjoy!

Singing our hearts out!
An end to another busy week in Primary 1a.
This week we have been revising number, writing our predictions for the story of Tadpole’s Promise and learning about living things.
We have been learning about the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi.
In amongst all of our hard work, we have created some spectacular art which helped us to label the parts of a plant.
We also recorded The Glasgow Song which we have been practising with the help of our fabulous music tutor. This song has been written to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the city.
P5a
Another busy week in p5a, we have finished off our Co-ordinates block in maths and moved onto to decimal numbers, which has been tricky but the children have shown great perseverance and determination ! In literacy we have been writing non chronological reports about some of the natural disasters that we have been learning about. We have also been trying to make mini versions of them in science, It was messy but good fun! In our new block of creative enquiry we have also been exploring ‘communication’ .

We have been working hard on our Political Party manifestos as part of our IDL topic. A huge congratulations to the winners of our p7 election “The Sports Party”.
We have had lots of assessments this week as we come towards the end of term but these have gone very well and everyone is very confident.
Our March Maths Challenge has been the best yet!
We have had fun getting creative using our coordinates skills to make some amazing art work.
P4b
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

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 in p6a!
Literacy – For the past few weeks, p6a have been working really hard to improve their spelling. Daily input in class has been working well to help boost weekly spelling results and children have been engaging in a wide range of written and active tasks each week.
Maths – In maths, we have been working on money, looking at bank statements. We had fun looking at different scenarios and creating bank statements for people, thinking about their situations and what their income and outgoings would be. It was very eye-opening to see how much things cost and how little money can be left at the end of the month to do fun things!
