Did you know that 70% of the Earth’s surface is made up of water? We learned this amazing fact this week while learning about the water cycle. We carried out an experiment using sandwich bags and blue-coloured water to see evaporation, condensation and precipitation in action. Take a look at our photos to see them on our class windows.

Room 1

Good afternoon,

Room 1 have been learning all about Under the Sea this term. We have loved learning about different sea creatures. This week we learned all about Sharks. For our writing we created our own fact file in the form of a report.

The boys and girls know that all reports need to have a title, a picture, labels and a fact.

Please see some of our hard work below and our interesting facts all about sharks.

Have a lovely holiday weekend!

Thank you

Exciting New Topic – Room 23

It’s out with the old and in with the new in Room 23! We absolutely loved our World War 2 topic last term and we are so proud of the fantastic work we have created. Have you heard about our new topic #DigiInventors? This is our term 3 topic. We have joined up with all Primary 7s in Room 21 and 24, working in teams with children from across all three classes. This is an exciting STEM topic and we are part of a nationwide competition! More information to come!

Wonderful chocolate 🍫

Room 6 have been very excited starting our new chocolate topic this term. We have spent the last couple of weeks getting to know where chocolate comes from and what ingredients can be found in chocolate. We have been very interested in learning about the process of making chocolate and all the steps involved from the cacao tree all the way to being sold in shops. Last week we looked at these steps in detail and worked collaboratively in small groups to create a timeline that can be displayed on our chocolate wall. We had fun discussing the steps and recreating these.

Yesterday we had a lovely afternoon going to the library before completing some spelling practise on our new common words. We enjoyed choosing our own strategies to use to practise these words and had loads of different spelling strategies to choose from. We really loved doing the fancy writing and the robot writing.

Here are some comments from our learning this week:

HW – I liked doing the NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe activity.
DM, RF, NG – I liked doing the subtraction in maths.
OM, QO – I 100% loved doing the subtraction sums. 
IR, BrM – I 100% loved watching the NSPCC video.
AS – I loved doing the homework.
ND – I 100% loved doing the NSPCC.
AbS – I 100% loved when we were learning about Buddy.
HG – I loved using the instruments and I really liked doing the music.
BlM – I liked using the instruments and learning the beat. 
HH – I liked doing the instruments and hearing all of the different sounds. 
Have a super long weekend when it comes!

Room 17’s Wonderful Week

In room 17 we have been working hard! So come and listen to what we have been learning about.

PE

In PE we have been doing hockey which is very fun. We were running and passing. We also had a competition to see which pair could pass it back and forth the most in 1 minute.

Active Spelling

On Friday morning we did active spelling. We have been doing speed writing to practise our spelling words and if we beat our high score we get a sticker.

Come back for room 17’s wonderful week next week.

Amelia, Nina and Lewis.

Room 13 W.B. 29th January 2024

Hello everyone,

 

In Numeracy last week, we moved on to multiplication using the written method. We have practised multiplying 2-digit numbers by 2 and 5 because those are the times tables, we’ve completed the most work on. We also continued to practise subtraction and addition using the written method.

For writing, we wrote a persuasive piece on our favourite season of the year.  We added persuasive openers and stated our opinions. I was impressed with our excellent first attempts. I’ve attached two photos to give you an idea. Green highlighted parts was to do with the success criteria, yellow is any spelling mistakes and purple is for things that could be improved like missing full stops.

On Tuesday, we started our new Science topic on the senses. We enjoyed exploring our playground to find and record what we could hear, see, touch (rough or smooth) and smell.

On Wednesday, for Modern Languages week, we started making some posters for around our school. We made some in French and some in Scots.

On Friday, we really enjoyed learning about algorithms during Technology. We had to write some instructions that would help a peer draw a crazy character. We found out if our instructions didn’t have detail then the characters would all look very different.

Have a great week.

Kind Regards,

Mr Dalling.

Snakes and Ladders

This week we have been practising our subtraction by playing snakes and ladders.

We loved seeing who could get to the top first and answer all the take-away calculations along the way.

We have been working really hard on our subtraction skills and using a number line to take away 1 and 2.

Lost property sign - Stocksigns There are a number of jumpers, cardigans and hoodies without names that have been left in the cloakroom.  Can you please let me know if you are missing anything and I’ll try to rehome what I can.

 

A gentle reminder that we are a nut free school.  Can you please ensure that all snacks provided are free from all nuts as there are both children and staff with nut allergies in the school. Thank you!

Have a wonderful weekend

Mrs Norton
