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.

P1c Playroom

The children have had a fabulous week in the playroom exploring superheroes. The children have been very creative and have been designing and constructing a variety of models. Take a look at some of our work.

This Week in P7a

P7a have been tearing up the playground with our toe-tapping, rug cutting, Scottish country dancing. We’ve perfected The Gay Gordon’s and are working on The Canadian Barn Dance.

In numeracy and maths we’ve created models of 3d shape and shapes, as well as comparing fractions.

We’ve also researched and prepared non-ficton reports, learned about remembrance and created some art in the style of Yayoi Kusama.

Our Weekly Update!

🧠This week in class we have been working on our growth mindset. We know that mistakes are part of our learning and help us to grow – they are not a sign of weakness.

💭In class we can improve our growth mindset by embracing challenges, showing persistence and resilience, acting on feedback given and trying our best.

Poppies and Electricity P2b

This week P 2b got involved with some art and science. In art we created poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Using paper plates and green card everyone made their own poppy. In science we learned what an electric circuit is and we had a go at making our own simple circuits using wires, batteries and lightbulbs. We also learned how a switch works within a circuit by creating a continuous path for the electricity to flow.

 

This week in p5a

This week P5a has been doing so much they have been exploring weather in creative enquiry, 2 digit by 2 digit using the box method in maths, practicing our handwriting, reading our books and answering questions about the book, tennis and badminton in PE. In our topic on space we were learning about how astronauts live and work in space, on the international space station.

This week in p7b

We had a great week with spelling with the best spelling test results so far.

We are doing very well at organising our own reading circles and will keep working on this in the weeks to come.

We have been talking about making responsible choices in PATHS and we can see this reflected in our decisions in class.
