Room 5

This week in Room 5 we have been learning lots of new things. We had the Chromebooks on Monday and we explored how to type on a google doc, practicing our spelling of our phonemes for this week which were ‘oy’ for toy, and ‘ai’ for rain. The IPads were also out to get us used to navigating mathletics for some maths tasks, and bug club for reading. This week we focused on Subtraction for numeracy, and learned how to take smaller numbers away from 10, next week we will extend this to 20 and beyond for a challenge. In P.E with Miss Livingstone we are focusing on our balance skills, and navigating different challenges so we used the trim trail to help us practice balancing on different objects. Mrs Sheed took us for outdoor P.E and we learned different skills on the pitch. She also taught us about being kind to animals as part of our RME focus.

Pupil Voice:

Callum: Today we have learned about 3D shapes, I enjoyed it and I got to play with them.

Harris: Archie and I made a sand monster from the moon.

Kai: I enjoyed learning on the Chromebooks and typing my spelling words.

Ayesha: I enjoyed running around the pitch for our warm up. It was so fun.

Amira: I enjoyed the Chromebook task which was spelling on a google doc.

Shreyan: I enjoyed using a 10 frame to represent numbers to 100.

Lucas: I also enjoyed using the 10 frames.

Kai: I made 100 with the number frames.

Aulay: At the 10 frames we made 140, i used 14 ten frames. #

Lucia: Peyton and I made 100 with the 10 frames and used 10.

David: I enjoyed the 10 frame task.

Amira: I enjoyed bug club on the ipad.

Aulay: At the Ipads, I enjoyed our Mathletics maths task and reading books on bug club.

Callum: I enjoyed the blue task, focusing on the different phonemes we have been learning about.

Peyton: I liked doing the yellow task, looking and investigating 3D shapes.

Aulay: D in 3D shape stands for dimensional.

Reminders:

Indoor P.E- Wednesday

Outdoor P.E – Thursday PLEASE bring a waterproof jacket.

Library- We visit the school library every Thursday. Please bring books back for then so children can bring a new one home.

Homework will begin after September Weekend. Homework will be issued via parents portal, the same method as last year. We hope to transition to google classroom at some point, once the children are familiar with using it in class. They will be issued with a poly pocket on Thursday 1st October, which will contain their log in for Bug Club and Mathletics. Tasks for reading and maths will be available every Thursday to fit in with clubs etc. Spelling homework can be completed in any way that you see fit at home, and words will be issued on Parents Portal. I will check homework and upload it on a Thursday.

Our blog next week will be updated on Wednesday, we love looking at all your comments and the children love to share their pictures.

Thanks so much.

Room 17

Hi this is Alex and Maisie and we’re doing the class blog this week.

This week we did some drama in groups of 4 or 5. We made our own scenarios and focused on the skill of thought tracking. We thought it was very fun because it helped us be creative!

We continued looking at 5-digit numbers. We learned to partition them and started work on decimals and tenths- reminded us of pizza! We continued reading Harley Hitch and the Iron Forest and it’s starting to get interesting because they have just discovered some rainbow fungus.

A: My favourite part of the week was doing was football in P.E.

M: My favourite part of the week was learning how to attack and defend in our new Netball block.

Thank you for reading Room 17’s blog

Alex and Maisie 🙂

Room 1 – 11.9.26

This week in Room 1:

– Our focus was on space with our book this week Aliens Love Underpants! We created our own space scene and can identify planets in space, and we designed our own underpants to hang up in the classroom, thankfully no aliens have stole them….YET 👽

– we went on a shape hunt outside to find as many 2d shapes as we could! 🟧🟠🔶

– we had a great time during our free play! Check out the amazing Lego creations! We also love cars in room one so worked on designing a road for them.

– we are continuing to focus on rhyming, syllables and alliteration when listening to stories, poems and songs.

I am sure our Evening Times picture will look fantastic, we had our best smiles on for the camera 📸

Have a lovely weekend!

Room 7 11.09.2026

This week, Room 7 were treated to a Taekwondo session. We had a great time learning how to kick and punch using the kick paddle. Take a look at some of us in action…

As part of our active literacy, we also began working together with our partner to write our dictated sentences. Our partner will read us the sentence and we are to write it down. We then check the sentences and swap over. Look at the super team work that was happening…

Room 24

11/09/26 By Ellie, Rebecca and Sophia

Room 24 blog

On Monday we practised all of our spelling words and at the moment we are reading Dragon Fire by Anne Forbes.

We read chapter 13 and did Comprehension questions, and for PE we did cat and mouse, and chaos tig and some of us did buddying at break.

The rest of the week, we wrote metalinguistics for literacy. We also created character pieces for writing, learned about food in French, edited photos and created our own folders in ICT, created a cloud in a jar (which didn’t go quite to plan) in science and in art we used Mrs Reilly’s teaching of symmetry to create our own Persian rugs, which link with our novel DragonFire.

Room 15 W/B 07.09.26

Hi Parents/Carers,

We have had the most spectacular week, let us tell you all about it.

On Friday we started a new P.E. sport. It was badminton. We learned 3 different hits. We completed passing activities in groups of 4. It was so much fun and we played great!

We started trialling our classwork in stations. We have the following stations:

Analogue (jotter work)

Teacher

Spelling

Handwriting

Tech

We loved them and they were so much fun.

In science we were learning about the water cycle. It was hard but we got through it, including drawing a diagram in our jotters.

In writing we continued our narratives from last week about a man who lived in a lighthouse and trouble was coming his way. We also peer assessed our partner’s jotter.

We read chapter 4 and 5 of ‘The Worries’, our class novel. It was super fun and interesting

In handwriting we were working on joined writing and even joining letters in words!

We hoped you enjoyed our chit chat. We will be back next week with more news !

Written by,

Chloe and Lily

D: I done really well in rounding, maths is my favourite subject.

Thank you for reading 🙂

Room 8

We’ve had an exciting visit today (Friday 11th) in the form of two RAF Chinook’s flying overhead! We were lucky enough to watch them for a little while as they completed their training exercise over Cambuslang.

Asides from today’s excitement, here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to this week:

“Luke from Kirkhill Lawn Tennis Club taught us some tennis skills and we enjoyed it.” – Cody & Lewis

“We’ve been learning about sound in Science. Did you know that sound is made by vibrations? We made paper cup frogs for the next lesson but Miss Napier won’t tell us what they’re for yet! We also did the ‘dancing sprinkles’ experiment by making vibrations with our humming so that they’d move!” – Alex G

“We looked at Claude Monet’s artistic skills and made a gigantic watery background for our cloakroom wall. Then we made lily pads using paper plates and crepe paper. Next week we’re making the lilies to go on the lily pads!” – Isla

“We finished our reading garden area by building an arch together and decorating it with all the flowers and leaves.” – Alice
