A double post from Room 1 this week!

Week beginning 17th November we celebrated Book Week! Thank you for joining us on Monday afternoon to celebrate. We love our Bookbug bags, some of us chose to take part in a draw-a-long with the illustrator of My Pet Star ⭐ How amazing are our creations!

We have also been challenging ourselves in literacy by blending sounds to help us play bingo!

 

We celebrated Wear It Bright Day! Well done to our brightest dressed pupil!

This week we have been busy learning about unscrambling sentences, consolidating our sounds and working on number stories.

We can’t wait for you to see our Nativity on Thursday ⭐️

Thank you to Abbey, Alexa, Grace and Paris for writing this week’s post.

IOW

This week we have been doing IOW (which stands for Improving Our Writing) . In our first week we did fragments of a sentence like “The dog walked” . We have been changing that into real sentences. In week two, we did run-ons. Run-ons are sentences that have no punctuation or connectives. We have been doing scrambled sentences which are words in a sentence that are jumbled up. 

Maths 

In maths we have been doing revision of adding 3 and 4 digit numbers with the standard written method , we have also been exploring time and we are getting a lot better. We have just started problem solving using listing.

Spelling

This week our spelling rule has been words that start with AL and WEL. We have been practising our spelling words using strategies like pyramid spelling, hangman and more.

ART 

For art we made European baubles to hang on our Christmas tree and made Christmas tree art.

PE

For PE we have been doing football and we have been doing matches, boys vs boys and girls vs girls to make the teams fair.

Hi everyone and welcome to Room 11 class blog.

For maths we have been doing symmetry /angles like an obtuse,acute,right

For P.E we have been doing basketball and some workouts in the classroom as the weather hasn’t been very good to us recently.   By RC

In Maths we decided to used our skills in  symmetry to make some 3D Christmas baubles which turned out really well.

Our Christmas Concert songs are coming along really nicely but we need some help with one of them- Michael buble and Shania Twain’s version of White Christmas.  Please practise at home!

Residential – Day 1

Day 1 of our Primary 7 residential trip is off to a thrilling start! Our pupils dived headfirst into a jam-packed schedule, exploring a range of exciting activities. In gymnastics, they challenged themselves on the rings and even attempted front flips (brave or crazy, we’re not sure which!) The muddy night line proved to be a test of teamwork and trust, while the pitches were hot with competition in shinty and lacrosse. Bring on Day 2!

Room 8


Hello and welcome to Room 8s blog, we are very very sorry that it’s not been updated.

In maths we have been doing lots of addition and subtraction with Miss Nimmo, as well as time with Mrs Kerr.

A few weeks ago we were very lucky to have Adele from the University of Glasgow come in and do some science experiments with us.

On Friday it was be bright day and there was winners in each class and in our class the winner was Erica. Well done Erica!

We are currently practicing our songs for our Christmas show and we can’t wait to perform these.

Room 3

What an exciting week we’ve had in Primary 1! As part of Book Week Scotland, the children enjoyed taking part in lots of fun and engaging activities that helped celebrate our love of reading. One of the highlights of the week was getting to hear a special reading from a Scottish author, which the children absolutely loved.

We were also delighted to welcome parents into the classroom to take part in our Book Bug activity sessions. It was wonderful to see so many of you joining in, sharing stories, and helping your child explore books in creative ways.

Alongside all of the book week excitement, we have also been very busy rehearsing for our Nativity performance. The children are working hard to learn their songs and lines and we are so proud of their enthusiasm. A big thank you to everyone who has helped their child learn their line, your support at home makes a huge difference!

In literacy this week, we have been learning two new sounds: ‘c’ and ‘k’. The children have enjoyed practising these sounds through games, handwriting and magnetic letters.

In numeracy, we have been exploring the number stories of 3 and 4, helping the children understand different ways to make each number. They have been using cubes and active activities to help them.

Just a note to say all outfits for the nativity have been sent home. A little reminder of what narrators and characters should wear.

Characters 

– Plain black bottoms (leggings/trousers/joggers)

– Plain white t-shirt (short or long sleeved).

– Black trainers or shoes would also be appropriate.

Narrators and non- speaking roles  

Plain black bottoms (leggings/trousers/joggers)

– Plain white t-shirt (short or long sleeved).

– Black trainers or shoes would also be appropriate.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Miss McBride and Room 3
