Here in Room 19 we have been making some artwork inspired by Piet Mondrian, a Dutch minimalist artist
To make a minimalist art piece like Piet Mondrian you could have primary colours and blocks of colour surrounded by thick or thin black lines. You could also use different shapes to make these blocks of colour and lines. Some of these pictures below include different shapes and shades of colours. We hope you enjoy our works of art!

As part of our Scotland topic learning, we had a Burns’ supper afternoon in class.
We performed some Scottish songs that we have been busy practising. We sang ‘Heids, Shooders, Knaps and Taes’ with Room 1 and ‘Donald Where’s Your Troosers’ with Room 2.
We enjoyed sharing our ceilidh dances with our friends and finished our celebrations with our favourite, Loch Lomond.
We all had a brilliant day celebrating Robert Burns.
Have a look at some action shots below.

Wow what an amazing few weeks back Room 17 have had! Here are a few of our favourite parts told by the kids:
First Week Back in Room 17 ( 08.01.24 – 12.01.24)
We had an amazing first week back in room 17.
Maths
In Maths we have been learning about two different strategies to help us with our subtraction sums; taking away the zero and Partitioning. Why not ask us to explain it at home!
Panto
We were very lucky for the panto to come to our school. The story was Cinderella and it was very funny!
Rocco, Carrie, Cole
The 17’s ( 15.01.24 – 19.01.24)
Welcome back to the class of the year Room 17.
Technology
This year we are entering an engineering competition and the winner gets their model made by Glasgow Uni! All the P5 classes are coming up with ideas.
A New Friend For Room 17
We have a new pupil in our class for PE and Fun 31. We absolutely love having them! However, this week we could not go outside for PE and focused on HWB instead. In class we had to act out different emotions and emotional triggers and guess each others.
If you want to hear more come back next week!

Following the winter break, Room 6 have been having lots of great discussions about things we can already do and things we would like to achieve this year. We read the book ‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’ and were able to clearly explain the message of the story; you can do anything if you just believe in yourself! We then had a chat about growth mindset and how important it is to realise that you can do anything you put your mind to. We spoke about target setting and how you can have both long term and short term targets. Room 6 had a fantastic time using this learning to design their own ‘Can/Can’t Yet’ giraffes. On the body of our giraffe, we each had to write something that we could do and something that we couldn’t do yet but would work towards. We enjoyed sharing our ideas with our peers and building our unique giraffes. Look at our super display, we are very proud of it!
Last week we also had some opportunity for creative time. During this time, we came up with some great builds using our imagination and some Lego or blocks. We enjoyed sharing our builds with the class and are hoping to continue to develop them throughout this week to make them even better!
Here are some comments from last week’s learning:

Since returning from the Christmas holidays we have been super busy in room 8!
We love our time on the chrome books and learning to independently send and receive emails as well as carry out our very own research.
In literacy we are continuing to learn new sounds and common words. Please encourage your child to revise these words at home when possible. Recently we have been focusing on our comprehension skills. We can summarise our texts, make predictions and connections about our text, identify the main character, discuss the problem and solution and are currently focusing on identifying the main idea of a text.
Have you heard what our new topic is…
‘Chocolate’. We are super excited to begin learning all about chocolate, how it is made, where it comes from, how to make our very own chocolate and learn about a local ‘chocolate’ business.
In maths we are currently focusing on ‘subtraction’. Primary 2’s are learning to subtract within 20 and being challenged where possible.
P3 are focusing on subtraction within 100. This week we are also looking at Fact Famillies, linking subtraction and addition.
In P.E we will be focusing on our fitness this term. The boys and girls have been working up a sweat carrying out their ‘ Beat That’ workouts. This includes carrying 6 different excercises within a time limit. Why not get your child to show you their excercises.
We concluded our ‘extinct and endangered animals’ topic from last term. The children absolutely loved this topic and learned so much from it. It was a delight seeing them so enthusiastic about their learning.
REMINDER- please ensure your child brings their reading book to school everyday.
Thank you
Mrs K and room 8 xx

We have been learning all about taking away in room 4.We know that the number gets smaller as we take away and we have learned about the special sign we use to show “takeaway” in our number sentences.
We have used physical objects such as cubes and bears to help us solve our calculations, and today we explored how we can draw pictures and “take away” by crossing them out.
Mrs Norton says we are already subtraction superstars!

Hello!
Last week in Room 13 we began our mini topic on Robert Burns. We have created some art based on “An Address to the Toothache” where we drew something your mouth would see at the dentist. Most of us went down the Demon Dentist route. We have also
started learning some Scots words for body parts. We will be starting our new topic on the Waverley paddle steamer at the end of January.
For numeracy, we have been working on the 2 times table and addition using the written method using 2-digit numbers or more. I could clearly see evidence that some of the adults had been helping their children with their numeracy homework this week and I wanted to say thank you for that. This term our aim is to work on more times tables, written method subtraction and multiplication, time and money.
We are going to be writing using persuasive language this term. We started this week by writing some pros and cons of the four seasons and we will work towards writing a persuasive text on which season is the best and why. Later, we will write a persuasive letter to Mrs Meechan. We have also started work on nouns for Grammar.
In Science, we are finishing our diseases topic from last term. Last week looked at our bodies and how they help fight back against diseases and made some fact posters about the immune system. Our next Science topic will be on the senses.
Kind Regards,
Mr Dalling.
