Australia Topic – For our topic we were researching animals from different Australian habitats like grass. We had to choose an animal and note down facts about them, and then research what type of landscape is found in that habitat. We’ll be drawing these animals and adding them to a big display outside our class that will show all the different habitats.

First Aid – This week, we rotated round 4 different stations that taught us about burns and scalds. Station 1: Adding instructions to our first aid booklets. Station 2: Using cold water to treat a burn or scald. Station 3: How to dress a burn. Station 4: ‘Spot the Burns Hazard’ task.

Maths – We started our information handling learning by watching a timelapse video of the most popular websites from 1993 – 2025. We had to compare the difference between the number of users a website started with, and the number it ended with in 2025. Some of the websites had something like 74 BILLION users in 2025!

Writing – We continued our discursive writing this week by choosing one of these 2 questions to write about: Should the school summer holidays be shortened? or Should zoos be closed? We had to think about arguments for and against each subject and link it with evidence, statistics and quotes we were given. We’ll be writing in this way again next week with two different questions to choose from.

Room 3

We’ve had a fantastic week in Primary 1 and the children have settled back into our routines very well after the long weekend. It has been lovely to see everyone returning ready to learn and engage enthusiastically in all of our activities.

In Literacy, we have been learning the ‘ng’ sound. The children have been practising recognising the sound in words, reading words containing ng and working hard on their letter formation during written activities.

In Numeracy, we are continuing to consolidate our numbers to 20. Our focus has been on correct number formation and developing an understanding of place value. The children have been using practical materials and games to help build confidence when working with numbers.

We are also continuing our preparations for Sports Day. The children have been practising different races and activities, showing great teamwork, encouragement and enthusiasm.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

8.5.26

Hello everyone ,

This week in room 16 we have been pretty busy.

We have been growing our own broad beans with Ms Kerr. We are doing an experiment to see what plant grows the best. We are doing this by testing different conditions; one plant will have everything. The other 4 will each have no seed, no soil, no water or no sunlight. We will water them every Monday,Wednesday and Friday. We can’t wait to see which one grows best.

Due to the upcoming elections p5 are going to be electing their own class minister in each class. We are going to be doing posters,speeches and drama to recreate the election in class. We have been practicing our persuasive writing with Miss Muir to prepare for the speeches.

For numeracy we have been looking at the link between decimals,fractions and percentages. We have been drawing hundred squares to help us see what parts of a whole look like.

Thank you for reading this blog. I hope you come back to hear more about our class, lots of love room 16.

Room 17

This week, we have been very busy in Room 17! We have been lucky to have an extra teacher joining us, Miss Young, who has been helping us learn all about fractions. Although fractions can be a little tricky, everyone has been working really hard and doing a fantastic job.

We have also started an exciting new topic called Class First Minister. During this topic, we are learning about the Scottish Parliament and how elections work. Soon, we will even be choosing our own class First Minister for the day!

As well as our classroom learning, we have been busy preparing for Sports Day on the 20th of May. We have been practising different events, including the flat race and the egg-and-spoon race, and we are all looking forward to taking part.

Room 4

This week in Room 4, the children have been very busy and engaged in lots of exciting learning across the curriculum.

In maths, we introduced the topic of money with Miss Reid. The children explored recognising, identifying and sorting 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 coins through a range of fun, play-based experiences, including our class shop. They enjoyed sorting coins in different ways, such as by shape, colour and value. As the week progressed, the children developed their confidence by paying for items using the exact amounts and even began combining different coins to make totals.

In literacy, we introduced the ‘ch’ joint phoneme. The children took part in a variety of engaging activities to help them identify, read and write words containing this sound. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and growing confidence in applying their phonics knowledge.

In PE, we began practising for our upcoming Sports Day. The children had lots of fun taking part in the egg and spoon race.. They showed great determination and resilience, continuing to try even when the egg fell off their spoon.

Comments from the children about what they enjoyed this week:

EM – I liked feeding the fish.
LF – I liked the indis.
MS – I liked reading my book.
TC – I liked when I went to the Den for the Pupil voice groups.
KA – I liked going to the pupil voice groups.
KO – I liked learning the different coins for maths.
ED – I liked going on the chromebooks.
KH – I liked designing a new world cup football.
HM – I liked drawing with my friends.
CS – I liked learning the ‘ch’ sound.
JS – I liked learning about the Football World Cup.

Room 24

After we learned how to do CPR last week, we expanded our knowledge further by beginning to create a 6 page First Aid flip book. So far we have learned how to create a flow chart so that information can be looked at quickly, and we’ve written down explanations of how to put a patient in the recovery position and included a bit of information about the CPR process.

We have been looking at money in maths this week. Today we learnt about profit and loss and how if you buy something and sell it for more, you’d make what’s called a ‘profit’ on it.

We started athletics training too by getting into pairs and timing each other doing the 100m sprint with stop watches. Next time, we’ll be timing how long it takes for us to complete 2 laps of the pitch.

In RME, we have been looking at all the different beliefs people might have and that it’s important to respect these, even if they’re different from our own. We shared all the information we could remember about the different religions we’ve learned about over the years, and discussed that some people might have beliefs that don’t follow any religion. The main message from the lesson was that not everyone has the same beliefs and that it’s important to be true to ourselves and our own beliefs, not letting anyone influence or try to change what we believe.
