P5a this week

This week we were exploring weather in creative enquiry and conducting different experiments, making rainbows and rain clouds was fun! In maths we were focussing on multiplication strategies. In writing we were continuing to work on character descriptions. In topic we learned about astronauts on the ISS and in art we used oil pastel to create realistic representations of Saturn in Space. We have also been working hard on improving our handwriting this week. It was also the first week of our fun 51 masterclasses, which were good fun.

A very busy week for P5b

Everyone in the class worked very hard this week and have produced a lot of work. In mathematics we have been concentrating on learning about Time intervals and dividing large numbers. Many of the students have made a good effort to learn the multiplication tables as this is a great advantage when completing division sums.
We are writing a short story about an Alien and this is going very well with detailed descriptions of a planet in a far away galaxy. P5b have drawn some great illustrations to help them describe this unknown planet. Our PATHS lesson involved listening to a partner. With STEM everyone is enjoying the Weather activities.

We started our new topic in maths on fractions, decimals and percentages.

Preparation of our Burns songs are well underway.

In addition to this, they have been learning to perform our nativity songs and were very excited to learn their parts.

Amazing Addition

Primary 1a have been using concrete resources such as Numicon, cubes and counting ladybirds to learn how to add 2 numbers together.

P3b

P3b have been practicing the 3 steps to calm down in class this week. This will help them be able to feel more in control when they have strong feelings, such as being angry or upset.

In Numeracy and Mathematics, they have been calculating multiplication using arrays and using rulers to measure objects they found in the classroom.

They have been using senses to describe a setting and have been thinking about the human body, particularly the skeleton. They have been thinking about the functions of different bones found within the skeleton.
