Numeracy

This week in primary 1b we are learning to identify and write numbers from 0-10. We have enjoyed working on subitizing during each lesson to increase our confidence in numeracy.

Class charter

Together in primary 1b we have created our very own Class Charter. We have recognised the importance of our rights and enjoyed working collaboratively to decide which ones are important for our class.
We used our rights to create our Lego themed class charter which we will all follow to keep our class a happy and safe place to learn.

STEM

We have been enjoying our time in the creative enquiry room!

Our focus over the next few weeks is ‘Journeys’.

Some of the activities we have been engaged with are:-

  • Creating a boat with a propeller tat can move in water
  • Creating a vehicle with wheels
  • Design a marble run / rollercoaster
  • Coding a spheros
  • Create / record a video report

P6a have been very engaged in all the activities on offer and have really used their imagination and problem-solving skills to support them in their work!

P3a Active Play

We had a great start to this week enjoying time outdoors taking part in the Active Play program.  This involved working together as a team, lots of running around and importantly having fun.

After all our exercise we continued on with our discursive writing.  Mrs Potter was very impressed with the great planning discussions we had together before we began.

In Maths we began looking at part part whole models which will help us with our understanding of addition and subtraction.

Finally we continued our Fairtrade learning in our Play area where some children decided to create their own Fairtrade shop to sell their products.

P5b

P5b enjoyed using their problem solving skills to create different designs that could be a form of transport. Our STEM topic is journeys. Some children started to make a marble run and we hope to complete their creations next week.

 


These children are learning about large numbers while playing a game.

P7b

We have had a great week in P7b. We have continued working on place value and are starting to feel very confident with this so are beginning to explore addition using up to 7 digit numbers.

Our persuasive writing has shown huge improvement and we have all shown great collaboration skills as we put a spin on fairy tale stories, taking on the role of the villain and trying to convince our reader we are innocent after all.

We have been enjoying ‘Bodhran’ drumming with our visiting specialist, David, and our weekly trip to Springburn Leisure Centre for swimming and basketball.

P4b

Another week has flown past in P4b!

My favourite thing so far was learning about the Earth and moon and deciding if the moon landing was Fact or Fiction. I’m still finding out more about it! Elena-Rose

I really ended writing my response to ‘Inside Out’. I like that movie and love making my own words to write about something. I had an abundance of fun! Drew

I’m really enjoying writing in my own words because it is challenging. Sara

I really like the chilli challenges in maths and that there are lots of cool activities to do. Lily

I really liked researching countries. Ya Ya and I chose to find out about Vatican City and it was really interesting to find out that no children are born there because there are zero hospitals and there are only 30 women there. Ruaridh R

I really enjoyed learning the days of the week in French and Rounding to the nearest 1000. Broady

This Week in P6a!

This week p6a have been very busy!!

Literacy – We began work on our class novel ‘Double Act’ by Jacqueline Wilson! Before reading, we made some predictions using the cover of the book. I wonder if any of these will be correct – we will soon find out!

Maths – We enjoyed making our own maths board games this week based on place value! We then had fun playing each others.

IDL – Our topic this term is Famous Artists. This week we carried out some research on Roy Lichtenstein – a famous Pop Artist who has created some very effective pieces using onomatopoeic words! Next week we will be trying to create some art in the same style as he did!
