This week in P1b we 
started our new IDL topic of Superheroes in the playroom. The children took part in a range of activities including role play, mask designing, exploring kinetic electricity and building a new superhero headquarters.
P1C weekly update
Primary 1C have had another wonderful week. We started our new IDL topic of Superheroes in the playroom. The children took part in a range of activities including role play, mask designing, exploring kinetic electricity and building a new superhero headquarters.
In literacy the children completed some wonderful writing using onomatopoeia to describe fireworks, and we learned the c and k sounds, and practised CVC words using the 5 finger spelling strategy. Take a look at our fabulous letter formation and magnetic board work.
In maths we are learning all about 2D shapes, and numeracy the children have worked very hard on number work and addition. We have had another great week packed with new learning and as always I am incredibly proud of the progress all the children are making. Well done P1c!
P3b
This week we have been focussing on measure during our maths lessons this week. We have learned how to use a ruler correctly and to measure different items in centimetres.
We have been reading about a baby Barn Owl called Plop, in the book The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. We have visualised his home from the description and drawn what we think it looks like. We also created a piece of art from the story using two different types of mediums and two different art techniques. We used oil pastels and paint, to create a picture which had used both the skills of drawing and printing.
We have also looked at the 3 steps for calming down this week in our HWB lessons. We will be using this technique to improve how we deal with upsets.
We have continued our active play this week. The children have really enjoyed our active play sessions and they are becoming more and more creative in their play, as well as being more able to join in with staff led games.
Superhero Skyline
Primary 1 designed and created their own superhero and skyline.
A lot of creativity and effort gave fantastic results.
This Week in P7b
This week in PE we started Scottish Country dancing with p7a. We got off to a flying start, learning the Gay Gordons in the playground. We got very competitive showing Miss Stevenson the badminton skills we have been practising at Springburn Leisure Centre, with a very high energy game of around the world.
We have been doing some more film literacy this week, looking at camera angles and showed great understanding of how these can impact the viewer.
We have looked at the structure needed in report writing and will continue to do more work on this next week.
In Maths we have been working on multiplication and have been making great progress with this. We even managed to do some problem solving activities.
We have been continuing to work on our study skill sin PATHS and have identified things that distract us in class and have committed to trying to reduce these together as a team.
Superheroes
Primary 1 are superheroes this week. They have been learning to count and add. They have also compared the qualities of a good friend and a superhero and discovered that deep down we are all superheroes.
They had great fun learning about friction and static and were able to create enough static electricity to stick balloons to the walls and ceiling and make our hair stand on end.
They have been using instruments to create superhero onomatopoeia sound effects like bang, boom, crash, pow. Noisy but fun and effective.
Watch out for more superhero adventures.
P5b
This week, multiplication was good because we really enjoyed it and it was kind of difficult but we manage to finish it.
In PE, we did badminton, it was fun and we enjoyed that we played in teams 2v2 against our partner’s.
In Language(Literacy),the setting and character was really enjoyable. It was good because we made our own characters and settings.
STEM was fun and crazy that we did experiments with the coke, Alka seltzer, mentos, vinegar and Bicarbonate of soda and at the end we tried to mixed t all together but the bicarbonate of soda was the only one that made the coke push up and the others didn’t make a push.
In French, we did French days of the week continuing from Monday to Thursday to Sunday we watched at the start before we did the jotter work, Mr Innes teaches us to learn the rest of the days of the week.
In math, time was good because it was easy and the challenge was kind of difficult that we need to explain our answers why? but we managed it.
In reading, the jobs was kind of difficult to manage like the summarisers that we need to do who, what, why, when, where.

This week P7a were joined by Miss Glen from the University of the West of Scotland. Miss Glen will be helping us deliver the curriculum at different points throughout the year.
This week P7a started their new class novels: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas & The Stowaway. We also extended our knowledge of fractions, learned about WW2 evacuees and created some art inspired by the Clydebank blitz.
Fair Trade Update
We are delighted to share that we have been awarded a FairAware award from Fairtrade. This is the first of three awards that can be granted to schools in recognition of them taking action to learn about Fairtrade and its values.
Well done to Primary 3 and their AMAZING teachers who have worked hard to collate all our school evidence for the award. We look forward to continuing on our Fairtrade journey.
Room on the broom
Last week we finished our Room on the Broom topic in the playroom. We enjoyed a range of activities including making our own potions then writing about them.
