This week was a busy one in P7b. Lots of us were off on our high school visits and we had end of year assessments to get done. With a very busy couple of weeks ahead, we are taking it all in our stride. Show rehearsals are taking over, and we can’t wait to show everyone what we have been working on.

This week we did maths I thought it was very fun! We did frequency. Then we went outside with chalk and we drew bar charts it was about favourite colours which include blue green purple red and pink. We did it with our working buddies. Next in writing we did explanation writing about plastic pollution and to reduce,reuse and recycle the plastic to help sea creatures so that they don’t choke on the plastic.
Afterwards we did reciprocal reading in groups we are reading islands of the Pacific Ocean the book is quite cool and the other group reads far from the city they say it is a great book! Then everyone gets a job for reading.There is a leader, clarifiers questioners, summarisers and predictors as well we do them after reading the book.

This week in p5a
This week we have been focussing on data handling in maths, collecting and presenting information. We particularly enjoyed conducting our own surveys using tallies and presenting our findings on a bar chart. We begun our new theme in creative enquiry focussing on ‘construction’ . We were very engaged in constructing our own island and building all the things needed within base camp. Other people made their own kites or constructed a model of the Eiffel Tower.
In topic we have been exploring the impact of pollution in the ocean.

P6a
What a busy week we have had in P6a, our fantastic Showcase on Wednesday was the highlight of the week. Great singing, clear speaking of our parts, representing our own languages and confident showing of our talents, our hobbies and national clothing. We hope our families enjoyed it too!
We have looked at the seashells we placed in lemon juice a few weeks ago and were amazed by the changes. The lemon juice acidity made the shells soft, chalky and very fragile. It demonstrated to us how the oceans and wildlife are affected by the pollution that is in the worlds oceans.
Last Week in P4a
Last week, we put our persuasive writing skills to the test by writing letters to the children of Wallacewell Primary, encouraging them to pick up their litter and help keep our playground clean. We also took action ourselves by joining the school litter pick, made even better by the glorious sunshine! In maths, we’ve been working with money, adding up totals and working out change from £10. We’ve also started our exciting new topic on castles! So far, we’ve been learning about the defensive features of famous Scottish castles and how they helped protect the people who lived in them.

P3a This Week
We’ve had an enjoyable week and were lucky enough to spend some time outdoors, making the most of the sunny weather. In maths, we focused on comparing fractions, while in writing we completed our report writing unit by creating reports about Stone Keep castles. We also continued developing our athletic skills in the sunshine and took part in a community litter pick. To finish the week, we visited the bug hotels and had fun searching for insects.
P2a Outdoor Time
Primary 2a made good use of the brilliant weather this week.
We done our bit for the environment by working as a team to litter pick the full playground. The class had a lot of fun and worked brilliantly together.
We also took our paired reading with the primary 6’s outside again. The class were impressing their buddies with their amazing reading skills.
P6B Getting Ready for Their Showcase
P6B have been hard at work practising for their upcoming Showcase! We have created beautiful pieces of art that symbolise Children’s Rights and we cannot wait to display them on the stage.
We have been practising our songs and have shown incredible enthusiasm for our show!
On top of all of this, we did a whole-class litter pick around the car park to keep our school and community tidy and we also read a poem at assembly for our retired janitor Andy! P6B are incredibly busy over the next few weeks and we are excited to show you what we have been working on.
P5a’s week
This week we have been writing explanations about looking after our environment. We then put some more of it into practice as we went litter picking. In maths we have been working on using our 4 operations skills to solve word problems, and then began exploring simple algebraic equations. We have been looking at identifying problems in HWB and explored simple conflict resolution. We were pleased to see the growth of our seeds that we have been looking after and think they will be ready to repot outside next week.

This week in STEM we made plant pots and bird feeders from plastic bottles and boxes for sustainability and we enjoyed it a lot .
Also we wrote an explanation piece of writing about sports like football ,basketball and gymnastics. We both thought that our writing was good.
Next in PE we practised throwing and hitting balls with rackets to do hits like over head, side hit and under arm hit.
Then we did maths multiply and division. It was quite easy and fun to learn new ways to answer questions. This was problem solving.
Finally we put flowers in pots for our sustainability lesson and it was nice because it was something new to do.
