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
Primary 3 have had a very busy week rehearsing and completing work for our Easter showcase, which was today. They delivered their lines fantastically, sang loudly and danced with enthusiasm. I am extremely proud of every single one of them as they all had to speak and it can be very scary when you have an audience. Our learning this week in maths was on interpreting pictographs. We also combined our maths and our art skills to help us learn about symmetry. You may have spotted our fabulous symmetry butterflies on the wall at the showcase.
This week p6a created some fantastic space art using chalk pastels. We worked on our blending skills and shading, using white chalk to create a 3D effect.
We looked at scale to ensure our images were not too big and not too small.
The class were very impressed with the end results (as was Mrs Gray!)
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.
This has been a very busy week for P5b. We have covered work in division and coordinates in Maths. Money has been assessed!The children really liked going outside to explore symmetry in nature.We have successfully completed the reports about Natural Disasters. Next week everyone is going to start their own mini topic. Today P5 went outside with a P2 class to assist with their learning about coordinates. That was fun sharing our learning. Mrs. Jodah
This week we listened to the story We’re going on a bear hunt.
We had our very own bear hunt around the school grounds. Not only did we find a bear in his cave but we saw two deer running through the grass. It was very exciting.
We used this to inspire our writing and create a story map.
We also looked at the beautiful blossom on the trees in the playground to create our art.

P2b have been learning what it means to be mindful and still. For 8mins after lunch each day the boys and girls take time to quiet their brains and prepare for learning in the afternoon. This has allowed the boys and girls to enjoy a moment of quiet after the noise of the playground.
Today at assembly we have been learning about one of our values – NURTURE.
We know that to grow and develop we all need NURTURE.
We know that to be NURTURED means you have a caring and stimulating place to live and grow.
We know that part of being NURTURED is being recognised that you are unique.
We all want and need to be NURTURED. It helps us to grow and develop.
The season has officially changed and as part of our topic we have been looking at how things change around us with each season.
We have also looked at the water cycle and how rain is created as part of this. We are learning words like evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
We are also very lucky to have support from our music tutor who is teaching us a song to celebrate Glasgow’s 850th birthday so listen for the children singing this around the house.
