P5b

First at stem I really enjoyed doing the balloon car and air force. Also it was fun to do the video of the character movie .It was fun and the characters were quite good and funny. Then most of the people in our class did the electricity experiment.They had to make a circuit it was quite cool. Secondly we got to make our own design with paper and we got to put magnets on the paper and it is so cool when it is done. We also got to do gym and it was fun because of the coach leaders, they played football games and Ollie Ollie octopus as well. Also all of p5 are doing a showcase it is going well so far the dancing and the singing is amazing. The parents are coming to see us perform on the 21st of February 2025 .We all are very excited to perform on stage.
Meanwhile there is also Sikh drumming it sounds very good when you clap with it goes very well with our showcase.

This week in p6a!

What a busy week we have had in p6a!

Literacy – We enjoyed working on Digital Film Literacy tasks this week. We focussed on a short clip from the movie ‘The Corpse Bride’ and used our knowledge and understanding of character, setting and photography to help us analyse what was happening. This was a movie most of us had never seen but now want to!

Reading – We have all worked really hard in reading this week using our skimming and scanning skills to help us find relevant information.

Maths – In maths, we have been revising division strategies! we have found this concept quite tricky at times but we have all shown great perseverance. We also began work on money this week!

P1b weekly update

A fantastic week of learning in P1b. In literacy we learned a new phoneme ‘sh’. We identified words starting and ending with ‘sh’ then created them on our phonic boards.  In Numeracy we learned how to read o’clock and half past on an analogue clock. We also had a lovely visit from Mrs Cattley and her baby and got the opportunity to ask some important questions about how to look after a baby.

This week in p7b

This week the Traitors came to p7b. As part of learning how to justify our opinion in group discussions  we will be using the round table and Traitor accusations, with evidence this term. Who will be victorious? The Faithful or the Traitors…

We had every pupil with PE kit for the first time this year, just in tie for starting gymnastics with Miss Stevenson. It was much more fun than a lot of us expected it to be.

Everyone is enjoying distance, speed and time and we are having lots of fun applying our knowledge to real life scenarios.

 

We have introduced table groups with a point system and everyone is very motivated to keep our classroom looking its best.

Zoolab

Primary 1 were very lucky to welcome Zoolab into the classroom.

They had an opportunity to not only learn about the animals and ask questions but they could also hold them.

They got to hold a Giant African Snail which they described as cold and slimy. A Madagascan Hissing Coackroach which tickled your hand as it moved and the female hissed when her tummy was stroked. A snake which was rather lively and inquisitive. A tarantula which was too small to be handled and a Desert Rat which looked very cute, like a large gerbil, but was too fast to be handled in case it escaped.

Lots of children relished the chance to hold the animals and some were a little more reluctant but they all had a lovely experience.

Adjectives and More Money

This week P2b have been learning how to add more amazing adjectives into their sentences to make their writing even better. This is allowing them to write even better setting descriptions than before. The boys and girls have also been learning how to add amounts of money within £1. Well done boys and girls.

An exciting week in P1c

This week the class have been working very hard all week. We started a new topic of NHS with a focus on people who can help us. All the children were able to show what to do in an emergency through our role play lesson. The children have engaged so well with our playroom room activities especially role play where they all got to work in a hospital and medical centre. In maths we have been learning to read time to the o’clock and learning how to collect and display data on a bar graph. In literacy we have had a focus on reading and writing CVC words with our phonics boards. The children were fantastic and loved to challenge themselves to make sentences. One of the children’s favourite part of this week was our visit from ZooLab. The children got to meet some new creepy crawlies and some of the class even felt brave enough to hold a snake, cockroach and giant snail. As always I am incredibly proud of all of the children, well done P1C!

Primary 2a

One month back to school and primary 2a have been extremely busy.

in maths and numeracy we learned a little more about time working with digital and analog clocks. We moved on to some tricky 2 digit addition and subtracting which the class were absolutely amazing at. Yesterday we started learning about money, something we are all very excited about.

We have continued to work through our spelling programme using magnetic boards to help us make and manipulate different sounds and words. Last week we even learned about our first difficult trigraph ‘igh’.

In writing we have started ‘Setting’ writing. So far the class has described their school, created their own dream school and dream park, using loads of amazing adjectives and challenging ourselves to extend our sentences with connectives.

In the playroom we have been learning about space and robots which the kids absolutely loved. They pretended to be astronauts in the role play area, built spaceships and robots in the construction area and made their own jet packs with junk modelling. We are now learning about the NHS.

Last week we also had our first Rugby session, we played loads of team races and learned about passing in Rugby.
