Learning about Space in P1c

This week P1 have started a new topic all about Space and Robots. The children learnt about the Moon, Sun and Planet Earth. In art we are learning about tone, we mixed different shades of grey with black and white paint, afterwards the children created textured grey Moon pictures. Our painting inspired our writing this week, the children were able to describe the moon and extend their sentences by using a connective. In Numeracy we have been learning to subtract with concrete materials; in maths we have begun learning about 3d shapes, the children loved discovering that the planets are sphere. We made our own 3d shapes with play dough. We have had another fantastic week, well done P1c!

Learning is fun!

Primary 1a have been busy as always this week. As well as our daily practise of sounds and writing, we have been learning about robots and space.

We have been looking at why robots are useful and the jobs they can do. We have learned about some planets and the reason we have day and night.

We have also been learning to subtract and have used counting beads to help us demonstrate and visualise taking away.

We are keen and excited to learn more next week.

We have had a busy couple of weeks to start off the new term. In maths we have begun a unit on fractions , whilst in literacy we have been working hard on our reading skills through our new books. We have also been learning all about Scotland, and were able to use this knowledge in our discussion writing to present a balanced argument of all the good and bad things about Scotland to help people from other counties decide whether to visit.
Creative enquiry this block is exploring sound and light and we had our first session trying out some of the stations.  We have been busy choosing songs and a dance for our showcase next month and have had fun creating some lovely artwork too.

Primary 2/1 can do the Turtle!

This week we learned lots in Primary 2/1.

We practised our writing by writing about the moon and rockets as our new topic is Space. We practised our numbers to 20 and learned how to subtract using concrete materials. We learned more about our feelings through PATHS and Twiggle taught us how to do the Turtle.

Have a look at some of our wonderful girls who independently cut, sequenced and labelled the key steps to doing the Turtle. Superstars!

We did Maths, Writing and Reading Assessments for the Scottish Government. These were not hard but not easy either. Poppy

We did times tables activity cards and one was a Loop Card game. I enjoyed this because you had to listen carefully then could shout out your answer. Jessica

In our maths stations we all got the chance to do the activity we wanted to. Poppy

In the playroom we made snakes by looping paper. Kendall

This was for Chinese New Year and because 2025 is the year of the snake. Samuel

In spelling we checked we could spell work by matching cards. Elena-Rose

We learner to play the Scottish song ‘Auld Lang Syne’ on the glockenspiel. Maisie

Our week in P6a

🔤Literacy – we have began work on poetry – analysing what to include in a ‘good poem’. We have focussed on the use of rhyming words and similes.

🔢Numeracy – in numeracy this week we have been looking at squared number patterns. The children were all very engaged and enjoyed the challenge. They can’t wait to move on to cubed and triangular numbers.

🧠Health and Well-being – following on from our work on growth mindset in term 2, we read the book ‘The Dot’ by Peter H Reynolds. This book encourages creativity and helps to promote a positive mindset. We used our imaginations and creative skills to draw some pictures using a ‘dot’ within each. We have some very good artistic talents in p6a!

This week in p7b

WE WENT ON OUR RESIDENTIAL!!

There was a lot of falls, slips, trips and muddy puddles but these didn’t stop us from having so much fun.

There was dance parties, Burns songs round the campfire and games at night.

 

We are home, exhausted and brimming with good memories.

Welcome back P3a

We had a great start to Term 3 working really hard this week.  In literacy we were recapping our knowledge of identifying and using adjectives.  This will help us improve our setting writing which we will be continuing to work on this term.  In maths we were working on fractions of a shape and understanding what different fractions look like.  We were also calculating the fraction of an amount.  We began our Scotland topic which we will be working on for the next few weeks.  This included naming all the Scottish cities and finding them on a map, doing some Scottish dancing and creating our own Charles Rennie Macintosh pieces of art.

This week in p4a

We’ve had a busy first week of Term 3. In maths, we’ve continued practising our times tables and have learned how to multiply two-digit numbers using the grid method. In literacy, we wrote detailed setting descriptions, using our senses to describe. We’ve also been exploring different ways to begin our sentences and learning how to use a variety of connectives to extend our writing. We thought about our own goals for this year and made 2025 self-portraits.
