Manchester City Football Trip, Sunday 4th January

On Sunday 4th January some of our Primary 6 and Primary 7 children from the boys and girls football teams had the opportunity to travel to Manchester to watch Manchester City play Chelsea.

The children also visited the Trafford Centre for lunch.

It was a great day and the children were all very well behaved, we were very proud of them all.

Primary 1/2 Room 4

We have had a busy and fun week in Room 4, with lots of great learning taking place!

In Numeracy this week, we have been continuing with subtraction. The children used lots of concrete materials to help them understand their learning and began using a new strategy called crossing out. Everyone worked very hard and showed great focus.

In Literacy, we have been learning how to write sentences using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. The children are becoming more confident and are very proud of their writing.

We have also started our new Inquiry topic, What Makes Scotland Wonderful. The class has loved beginning to explore this topic and we can’t wait to share more of our learning with you all.

Please remember our PE days will be changing to Wednesday and Thursday this term. Children should come to school dressed appropriately for PE on these days.

This week the pupils have enjoyed:

HM – I liked using the Indi’s, it was funny when Indi went the wrong way.

TC – I liked using the Indi’s.

EJ – I liked the Indi’s and setting up the mats.

KH – I liked playing tig at PE.

MH – I liked learning the ‘b’ and ‘u’ sounds.

SM – I liked drawing Scotland flags.

AB – I liked going to my pupil voice group.

KJO – I liked making bird feeders at the Eco Pupil Voice group.

BR – I liked looking at the Scotland Flag.

AN – I liked writing sentences by myself.

KO – I liked finding out what the different mats did to the Indi.

Room 24

MATHS: For Maths this week we have been drawing angles and writing the names for them. We have also been working on reflex angles using circular protractors. Then we were giving each other directions around our class by using compass points and angles. We had to try to get our partner from one point in the class to another.

RME: For our RME we were learning about Humanism – a non-religious group that does not believe in a god. ‘Humanists believe that people have one life to live, and that there is no afterlife. They focus on being happy and living a good life, by making the most of their lives and helping others. In class we write down on post-its what it means to us to have a good life. Then Miss Napier shared them with the class. Lots of ideas were similar like having friends and family, a good job, food/water, hobbies etc. After discussing the post-its, we all drew these things on individual posters and these will be added to our RME display.

LITERACY/DRAMA: We were reading our class novel called Tribes, which is about 12 year olds being part of ‘gangs,’ and doing different tasks on it. We were making predictions about an initiation test that a character might have to complete, and then acting them out in groups for others to guess. We’ve been finding evidence and quotes to answer questions, and also discussing the advantages and disadvantages of joining a gang. We definitely all had more disadvantages written down!

Room 17 Blog

Welcome to room 17’s weekly blog! We will tell you all about this week!

Dodgeball

This week in dodgeball we learned to duck and side step. There are four teams at the end, two teams against two teams. 1 and 4 won, lots of people were trying really hard to learn the skills.

Showcase

This week on Thursday in the morning we made math board games! In the afternoon our parents came and we played with our parents. We showed them around our class. We also did literacy, HWB, lCT and Numeracy. It was so much fun! But sadly a few parents couldn’t come so we did partners.

Thank you for reading our blog. Come back next week!
