Another week in P3a

This week we were working on our procedural writing as well as recapping some of our maths and reading knowledge that we have been learning this year.  We finished our personal posters and some children have shared their one with the class.  We also finished off our sun and moon art from last week – They are all looking fantastic!  Finally we were learning all about what a siege is in our topic work and what people used to do to prepare for them.

P4a Weekly Update

We’ve had a fun but busy week in P4a! In maths, we’ve been revising subtraction and learning how to subtract using exchanging. In literacy, we’ve been working on writing descriptive recounts, and we also created our own comics. The highlight of the week was definitely building our own castles out of cardboard. We used everything we’ve learned about castle features, worked as a team, and showed lots of creativity. We are so proud of our finished models!

P2/1 Explore the World of Work


This week, we have been learning about different occupations. From teachers to builders, we have had fun role-playing different jobs in the playroom and writing all about what we want to be when we grow up!

In numeracy, we have been busy consolidating our learning in addition and subtraction. We especially enjoyed playing games to practise our numeracy skills and build confidence with numbers.

We have also been enjoying the story of Elmer the Patchwork Elephant. We explored the themes of uniqueness and kindness, then got creative making our own jungle artwork inspired by the story.

P2B

This week P2b have been working hard on end of year assessments and have done well in recalling their learning from across the year. In art the pupils did an amazing job of creating a silhouette of a tropical beach using oil pastels and their cutting skills. Well done p2b.

DYW Playroom – P1C

This week in our playroom the children have been exploring our Developing the Young Workforce topic and experiencing a range of different jobs through exploration and role play. The children have engaged so well in all of the play experiences provided and have used their creativity and imagination to create new roles within their play.

We continue this learning within our writing lessons this week. The children were asked ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’. Everyone was able to say what they wanted to be and give a reason for this choice.

Well done P1C for another very successful week of learning!

P6B go to Pinkston!

P6B went to Pinkston Water Sports on Wednesday. We went into the local woodlands and learned all about appreciated our green spaces within Glasgow. We created art using leaves and sticks, went on a bug hunt, and completed some team challenges. We did especially well in the team challenges and our instructor was impressed with our teamwork!

Afterwards, we went canoeing in the man-made canal! We had to work together to make the large canoe move against the strong winds. At the end we all had a race in the canoes and got to jump in the canal!

It was a fantastic day and now we cannot wait for next week!

P5a’s week

This week in p5a we have been working hard in maths on data handling, recording information on frequency charts and presenting  information in a bar chart. We have been very good at this! We also created some fabulous posters all about probability. In Writing we completed our block on Explanations. In Creative enquiry we continued our Construction theme, where we have shown great imagination and teamwork skills. In topic this week we have been exploring creatures in the different layers of the Ocean and also used this as inspiration for our art work. Hopefully we will finish these next week.
