Term 4 already


It has been lovely being back after Spring Break. The children have all been eager to learn and excited to share their holiday experiences.

We have started back into our routines and had a lot of fun.

We have been reading the story Stuck by Oliver Jeffers and predicting what we thought happened next. The story made us laugh and no-one knew what was going to happen because Floyd does lots of strange things. We are still working on some artwork to go with the story.

We pretended to be pirates when we were learning co-ordinates. Co-ordinates helped us to find our buried treasure.

We continued with our treasure hunt as we did our revision sums which were hidden around the class.

We enjoyed the good weather by taking our learning outdoors and let our imagination go wild as we played with empty boxes.

Ask the children to share their learning experience’s about what they have being doing this week.

This week in P7b…

Week one of term 4 has been busy in P7b. We’ve been making big swings in P.E starting off our block of rounders with Miss Kelly.

We have been exploring Roman Numerals in maths and have been able to apply our knowledge to solve problems.

We have started our unit on film literacy by looking at the short film ‘The Ball’ and have been learning how to identify camera angles and sound used in film and have been trying to describe how they impact the viewer.

Our spelling tests went very well with more than half the class getting full marks and the rest not being far off.

We have started on our topic of ‘The Movies’ by having a look at the film making process and hope to be able to apply this knowledge to create films of our own soon.

First week of Term 4 in P1c

Welcome back P1c, what a fantastic week have had as we transition into our last term in Primary 1. The children have worked incredibly hard and have show dedication to their learning. This week the children have enjoyed reviewing past knowledge through games and active learning stations. In HWB the children have been focusing on teamwork and collaboration. The children have really enjoyed their P.E lessons this week. They have been learning how to throw a ball to a partner and how to strike a ball with a bat. Take a look at some of our learning.

 

The first week of term 4

This week P5b have been very busy. Our first topic in STEM and topic is Sustainability. We have been planting seeds and learning about plants to help birds and insects. We need empty, clean milk bottles to make into watering cans and to collect rain water.

In maths we have been revising addition and subtraction using different strategies. I am very pleased with the effort all the children have made to learn.

 

P6a have enjoyed creating moon buggies in the STEM room. On Tuesday we drew our designs and added labels.  Then on Wednesday we used lots of pieces of junk, tape, lollipop sticks, paper straws and toothpicks to build our models.

Last week in P4a

This week, we rounded off our Viking topic by creating amazing non-chronological reports. We also worked in pairs to complete a Viking quiz and made our own Viking artifacts out of clay. We have learned so much!
In PE, we had another fun football session, focusing on controlled dribbling and passing.
In maths, we explored tessellation and enjoyed taking part in active stations. We also did a maths-themed Easter egg hunt, which was a fun way to apply our learning!
The children have worked incredibly hard this term, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday. Miss Maclennan and P4a

Happy Easter in P3a

We had a fun last week before the Easter holidays finishing our Vikings topic and getting outdoors to enjoy some of the sunny weather we have had. In writing we made a start at how to write an information report as that will be our writing focus next term.  We used our knowledge of the Vikings to produce some fantastic reports using book creator and then shared these with each other.  In maths we were working on estimating and weighing. Lots of fun was had using the scales and holding the different weights.  We also made a class Viking Longship using the STEM straws.  It was fabulous to see them all working together and they made a ship that the whole class was able to fit in to, complete with oars, a mast and a dragon head.  They have all worked extremely hard this term and hope everyone has a fantastic Easter 🐣 and are looking forward to term 4.



 

P4b

We can’t quite believe it’s the end of Term 3! We have had an amazing term filled with lots of learning and made more fantastic memories.

I liked making Viking artefacts out of clay and painting them when they were dry. Jessica

In the playroom we used playdoh to stretch, squeeze, push and pull which helped us learn forces. Cooper S

We did a fractions assessment and I liked it because we got to show what we had learned. Bella

I was very happy to see new Dog Man books in the library – I’ve read 4 already!! Ryan

I finished my library book and was happy because it was a good book. Finn

Fractions have been fun and each time we learnt about them we learnt even more. Poppy

I wish you all a restful and safe Spring Break and can’t wait to see you again for Term 4!

Lots of love Mrs Wightman

Primary 2a End of Term 3

Term 3 completed for P2a. It was a very long and busy term but the class worked extremely hard throughout.

The class learned all about money, they were working on their coin recognition, adding coins together and calculating change. They also done amazingly well during their data handling lessons, they used graphs and tally marks to help collate information. Most recently they learned about grid references which they done with great confidence.

P2a were incredible with their spelling this term, there was some excellent results in their spelling tests and it has helped improve their reading and writing. The class really enjoyed learning all the magic e sounds.

The pieces of writing produced this term were exceptional. After their hard work on setting writing the class completed a series of lessons on character writing. In these lessons the class planned and created their own monsters using amazing adjectives to describe them.

In the playroom the children loved learning about living things through the changes topic. They showed lots of great teamwork to create different art pieces and build magnificent structures.

This final week was full of Easter fun. The class created their own Easter bunnies and 3D Easter art.

P6a weekly update!

🔤Literacy – we continue to work hard on our reading. We have developed our skills in reciprocal reading and paired reading. We are becoming more confident when reading aloud. This week we have worked on our skimming and scanning skills as well as ensuring we answer questions in full sentences.

🔢Maths – this week we took our learning outdoors for some orienteering fun! We answered place value questions that were hidden around the playground. This was a lot of fun and everyone worked well!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️PE – this week we took advantage of the nice weather and went to the pitch for our PE lessons. Continuing with our team work, we played games of rounders. What great sportsmanship we have in p6a.
