Some of our Charles Rennie MacKintosh art work.
Primary 1 have been very busy continuing to work hard on our numbers and sounds. We are also working on the topic of people who help us and are really enjoying this. We can identify people that help us in our school community and can talk about the roles of each person. We have also transformed our play corner into a supermarket and are having great fun with this!
In art this month, we created beautiful fish with paint.
In PE we have been working hard on our fitness with Ferri Fitness.
Lastly, I would like to say a big congratulations to some of our star writers last month. Well done!
Primary 6/7a are still working very hard and enjoying all of our class lessons. We are still working on our Victorians topic and have learned a lot about children during that time. I don’t think they would trade places anytime soon considering some of the jobs they had to do. We have investigated the life of Queen Victoria and of Beatrix Potter, we are looking forward to researching more famous individuals from this era.
In Maths we have moved on to learning about decimals. We are trying very hard to understand this new concept and any help at home would be greatly appreciated. Also if you could encourage the children to be on sumdog as often as possible, to help them further improve their Mathematics skills.
We are still reading the Eleventh Orphan and working on our knowledge of the comprehension strategies. Some of us have recently started reading The Worst Witch and have enjoyed what we have read so far.
We are looking forward to the rest of October!!
So far in Primary Three we have been continuing to work hard. This month we have been busy with art making our autumn wreaths and autumn tree paintings. We are loving our knights and castles topic and we have been studying the shields and swords that Lucia brought in for us to look at. We are looking forward to our library visit next month as we all love to read. We have now moved on to addition in maths. This is more challenging but still good fun. Every Friday all the Primary Threes work hard to get full marks on their spelling tests. Our fitness levels have also improved thanks to Ferri Fitness taking us for a session of PE every week.
This month we have enjoyed doing Autumn art. The P7s were delighted to meet Steven Browns team and hear the McCoo stories. P~buzz music lessons have started and everyone is trying hard to get the blowing right. We had a visit from author Stuart Reid who told us some stories about Gorgeous George. We had also researched the forth rail bridge as part of our Victorian topic, great Victorian engineering. We have continued to read Jammy Dodgers On The Run for language. We have enjoyed teachers coming in from Cardinal Newman. Today we had Ms. Beach come in for Geography and yesterday we had fun learning more about Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone with Mrs. McKendrick.
In Maths we have focused on place value. We have been learning to estimate to one decimal place. Our class bakers had a bake off competition and it was a huge success, everyone enjoyed the tasting. Boxing sessions have been challenging but we’ve had lots of fun.
Curriculum night saw many of us working hard to show our parents the kind of things we do in school.
We had fun with Mossend Primary doing the Body Works on Tour Workshops in Science.
What a busy month!
