P4b

This week has been the best week in the world. Elena-Rose

Place Value Stations were super-dooper fun! Elena Rose

Using the iPads was fun. Allan

We did partitioning and made pyramid. I challenged myself to partition millions. Ruaridh R

We learned about the phases of the moon. Poppy

We now know about First Quarter, Waxing Crescent, New Moon, Waning Crescent, Third Quarter, Waning Gibbous, Full Moon and Waxing Gibbous are the names for the phases. Rylie

Waxing moons show them getting bigger. Drew

Waning moons show it getting smaller. Finn

Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon. Finn

We came to our own decisions about whether the moon landing was real because some people don’t believe it is. Maisie

We made information posters for Primary 3 to tell them all about the moon. Jessica

We learnt how to say numbers up to 10 in French. I was good at pronouncing the words because my dad can speak French. Lily

We did an Author Study on Dick King-Smith because he wrote our novel, The Hodgeheg. Ya Ya

I think it will be fun to keep reading The Hodgeheg. Nezar

The main character bumped his head and now his words are mixed up which is why it isn’t called The Hedgehog. Cooper S

I think this is going to be the best term the school has ever had. Cooper L

P3a First week back

Last week we were learning about place value in maths and completed lots of different activities to show we can identify and make different numbers.

.

We also began our Under the Sea topic.  We are now able to names the 5 different oceans and where they are on a map.  At the end of the week we started making some wax scratch pictures.  Firstly we coloured our piece of paper with brightly coloured crayons and then covered it in black paint.  Next week we will scratch off some of the paint to hopefully produce some colourful under the sea art work.  Look out for our finished masterpieces later in the week.

P5b busy workers

This term we have started to learn about Iron Age Scotland at the time of the Roman invasion. The children have designed their own roundhouse and worked together to make a hill fort in groups. It was good to see them working the layout of their fort as a group.

 

Class charter P5b

The class thought a great deal about their class charter. They debated about the what needed to be included to ensure that everyone could learn and play together happily. Everyone signed to agree to this charter.

Our First Full Week

What a busy week we have had! There has been lots of learning, investigating and fun! Have a look at our pictures.

This week we have learned about Place Value. We did partitioning and part-part whole. Drew & Cooper S

I liked trying to figure out the parts in the whole number. Drew

I liked that we could break the number down by partitioning. Bella

We looked at Planet Earth and made collage pictures. Bernice

I know that Earth orbits the sun. Ya Ya

It’s the fifth biggest planet. Samuel

It takes 24 hours to spin around on it axis and one year to orbit the sun. Ruaridh R

It’s the third closest planet to the sun. Ruaridh K

We learned some French greetings. Jason

We said Bonjour Madam Wightman and Ca Va which means how are you? Kendall

 

P3a Class Charter

P3a have had a fantastic week back and have settled in well to their new class.  We began the week by discussing the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and decided which ones were important for our class. Working together we decided on the following rights;

  • The right to be HEARD
  • The right to be SAFE
  • The right to LEARN
  • The right to PLAY

We used these rights to create our Minion themed class charter which we will all follow to keep our class a happy and safe place to learn.

Class Charter P2b

P2b had a fantastic first week back and have settled in well to our daily routines. As part of our learning this week we looked at the special rights children have and how we can use the creation of our class charter to ensure all pupils have access to their rights.
