Room 7 24.09.2026

Room 7 have had a wonderful week immersing ourselves in all things math in celebration of ‘Maths Week Scotland’!

We spent time looking at partitioning numbers and working on our place value knowledge. Take a look at our leaning in action…

As part of our taught writing, we are continuing with our text, ‘Man on the Moon’. This week, we focused on the use of adjectives to describe some of the cheeky aliens who hide from Bob on the moon. We started our learning by working together to create a class bank of adjectives to describe aliens. We set off around the class describing a variety of different aliens…

Room 6 Maths Week Scotland

We have had such an exciting time in Primary 2 celebrating Maths Week Scotland! We used to think maths was just about doing sums, but this week we learned that maths is all around us—especially inside our favourite story books. We read three brilliant books and used them to explore lots of different types of maths.

On Monday, we read What’s the Time, Mr Wolf? We learned all about time! We practised telling the time using o’clock and when certain events happen during the day. We even played a game where we had to sort out event cards into Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night Time

On Tuesday, we read Six Feet Long and Three Feet Wide. This book was all about measurement! We used our feet to measure lots of things around our classroom. We found out how long and wide our desks, teaching boards, doorways. Measuring things with our feet was so much fun, and we loved comparing who had the longest! We also worked out that lots of us a different sized feet just like in the story.

Finally on Wednesday, we read Tally Cat Keeps Track. Tally Cat taught us how to count and collect data using tally marks! We learned the special trick: four vertical lines and one diagonal line across the middle makes a gate of five. We went on a hunt around the class with whiteboards and pens asking the class about our favourite fruit, eye colour and favourite playground activity.

We loved Maths Week Scotland so much. Maths is everywhere and it is super fun!

Math Week Scotland in Room 5

This week was Math Week Scotland, so we have worked hard on all things math this week.

On Monday, the children were tasked with a challenge of describing a picture to a partner using shape words, which was so difficult as there were so many different ways to describe it. They got the paint out after, and created their own version of the painting. (Sorry for the mess!)

On Tuesday, we took the learning outside, and made shapes and numbers with different materials including sticks, grass, stones and acorns. The children absolutely loved it and wanted me to share pictures below.

Today, we learned numbers to 20 in French, and we also played a P.E game with Room 4 all about numbers.

By the end of today, the children were all ‘mathed out’.

Hope you all have a fantastic break over the weekend, and I can’t wait to hear all about on Tuesday.

Reminders:

Parents Evening- Thursday 1st October

Homework- Begins next week (more information to follow on Tuesday, please check bags!)

Please make sure children have waterproof jackets each day either on, or in their school bag.

Thanks so much,

Miss Livingstone

Room 11

Hello and welcome to Room 11’s blog

Thursday in Maths the P3s were rounding to the nearest ten and the P4s were rounding to the nearest 100. In literacy we worked into groups to predict what would happen next. We had to act out our predictions.

Friday was our pyjama day and we got to bring in a teddy, pillow or blanket with pyjamas and we got to watch The Bad Guys.

Come back next week!

“We made frogs out of green paper cups and we threaded an elastic band through a hole in the top. Then we got our fingers a little bit wet and, when we rubbed our fingers together over the elastic band, it made a frog’s croaking sound! It was the vibrations of our wet fingers rubbing the elastic band that made the sound. Ribbit!” – Hollie & Beth

“For gym, we did badminton again with the nets up! It was a bit harder trying to hit the shuttlecock over the net and then your partner trying to hit it back but it was really, really fun!” – Ollie, Austin & Isla

“Yesterday when we were playing, Austin made a paper crown for Miss Napier and she pretended she was the Queen! Some sneaky royal subjects (Blake) were trying to steal the crown and run away with it! Miss Napier called for her guards to arrest him but he’d hidden it. He wouldn’t give it back until the whole class was tidy and everyone was ready with their bags and jackets on. Thankfully, we did everything Blake said and the crown was given back. We love playing and being creative!” – Caleb

Now we’ve finished all our Monet art work, it’s up on our cloakroom wall. We think it looks great!

We also took part in a live sustainability lesson about riding our bike to stay active. It was led by Simon Mole who read his book, ‘I Love My Bike.’ He helped us to create our own poems about riding a bike and got us to think about different words for ‘really,’ ‘fast’ and ‘good,’ including using alliteration! We created a class poem too for the blog:

My bike is extraordinarily awesome,

My bike is super speedy,

My bike is purple with stars on the spokes,

It can go 362mph!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I’m firing my way to the fridge for a feast,

I LOVE MY BIKE!

Room 7 18.09.2026

This week, Room 7 have been busy continuing to expand our writing skills through our class book, ‘Man on the Moon’. We used our knowledge of the story to complete a story map, and ordered the illustrations and key vocabulary from the text in the order that they happened. Take a look at a super story map…

We also had the very important task of voting for how we would like the schools PEF funding to be spent. It was a hard decision and everyone is hoping their choice receives the most votes…

In science, we used our knowledge of the different phases of the moon, and our skill of following instructions, to create some super craft detailing our knowledge. This was an independent task where we had to follow the instructions. Take a look at our super work…

Room 7 are also continuing to work on our partner skills by working with each other during our tasks. Take a look at the great partner work going on here..
