Room 13 16.02.24

Hello all.

We’ve been busy over the last few weeks. In Numeracy, we have been multiplying 2 digit numbers by 2 and 5. We moved on to multiplying by 10 and 100 and that is what is in some of the pictures. We have just started recapping telling the time and will do more of this going forward.

In Literacy, we have been doing opinion writing. We gave our opinion on a given statement and included a reason for our opinion.

For Topic, we have started learning some facts about the Waverley. We have also started mapping places in Scotland and will map the Waverley’s west coast route next week. We are going to make a drama which we hope to perform at the P3 showcase a week on Thursday.

Have a great weekend,.

Mr Dalling.

Room 5’s Learning :-)

This week,

HL – We learned a new sound ‘igh’ like fright, bright and light.

RMc – We just got a new play area. There is a kitchen, food, chairs and a table in it.

RC – We have a new theatre in our class. It is for wet plays or when we get extra play time in class. We can have puppet shows with it.

GO – We have been learning a new song in French about all the colours. Blue is bleu, green is vert, pink is rose, red is rouge.

IZ – Today we had an assembly and learned about Chinese New Year. Red is a lucky colour in China.

AB – We have been learning new common words – ‘who’, ‘after’, ‘hand’ and ‘right’.

FMc – We have got the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book and we are on Chapter 6. We have found the two lucky winners of a golden ticket. I would like to win a golden ticket because when you go home you will have a full tummy for eight months with all the chocolate and after the tour of the factory you get a big load of chocolate.

Room 16s Blog

What an exciting last two weeks we have had!

We would firstly like to thank everyone who came to the Primary 4 learning showcase. We had a great time showing everyone all the things we learn in school and showing all the different ways we have been displaying our skills and understanding.

After a nice break, we have continued with our hard work. We are coming to the end of our Japan topic by focusing on natural disasters within Japan. We have found it so interesting to learn all about the different types of earthquakes that can occur in Japan as well as how tsunamis are made.

We are also coming to the end of our time topic after making so much progress in learning analogue and digital time.

For literacy, we have utilised our Japan knowledge to write persuasive letters to Mrs Meechan in an aid to persuade her and South Lanarkshire Council to approve a school trip to Japan.

We hope you have a nice weekend and thank you for reading our blog.

No Litter in the Sea!

Hello everyone,

We are thoroughly enjoying our ‘Under the Sea’ topic, learning lots of facts about our favourite sea creatures.

We watched a video called ‘A Whale’s Tale’ which explored the impact of plastic pollution in our oceans. We were really touched by this video and knew we had to take action.

The sea creatures can’t ask for help or stand up for themselves so we will help them. Even though we are small, our voices are important!

We made information posters about litter and the impact plastic pollution has on the sea creatures. We shared our posters on a learning walk around our school and took our learning outside to take part in a peaceful protest. Have a look at our efforts below.

Well done everyone – you did such a super job working together and sharing an important message.

Room 7- Our Learning Journey

This week, Room 7 have been learning phoneme words with the trigraph ‘igh’.
This was our final week learning about instructions. We used the knowledge and skills we have developed to write a set of instructions explaining how to make the chocolate fruit skewers, we made last week. Take a look at some of our writing, below.
In numeracy, we have started learning about multiplication. We know that multiplication is repeated addition. We began by exploring the language used for multiplication then we answered calculations by grouping objects. We are now learning other strategies to help us multiply. We are focussing on the 2 times table and looking at patterns and doubling to help us calculate answers.
As part of our IDL ‘Chocolate’ topic, we found out about the history of chocolate. Did you know, the first recorded use of chocolate was 4000 years ago? We then looked at dates and information provided and ordered them in a timeline.
In ICT, we practised accessing our Glow accounts, sending and replying to emails with more independence.
Well done to our first mystery reader! We enjoyed listening to your story. We have someone booked in for next Friday, let me know if you would like to sign up for a later date.
Have a lovely holiday weekend!

Growth Mindset

This week in Room 11 we spent some time learning about the concept of Growth Mindset.

Growth Mindset is about seeing mistakes and perseverance as valuable learning tools.

It was great to have discussions about this particular topic, especially as we are always learning new things in the classroom!

Thank you to all the boys and girls in Room 11 for your hard work this week!

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend!
