This week in Primary 2/3 we are learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10. We had fun playing ’round up’ in groups with our friends then we got a chance to show off our impressive rounding skills in our jotter.
Well done to this boy and girl for being the hard workers of the afternoon!
Hard worker alert!

Last week Pablo went home with Marysa and spent his weekend at the caravan! Marysa wrote all about it in his diary and shared it with everyone when she came back to school! 
You can see from these photos that in primary 1 and in primary 2 we have been writing sentences. Some of us are just learning the skills of composing and writing a sentence whereas in primary 2 we are more confident and are beginning to stretch our sentences to make them more interesting.
In our maths in primary 2 we are continuing to explore tens and units and this week looked at splitting amounts of money into tens and units.
In primary 1 maths, we are looking at jumping along a numbered track. We have used a lot of different resources to learn and practice our skills.
When we were in the computer room this week we were exploring autumn using some interesting videos and activities on the Espresso web site.
Finally, we are very proud of these two wonderful girls from Primary 1/2 who have won medals at their own dancing competitions.
To end the week, Pablo had another exciting visit – read all about his adventures…

Today we read ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson to get us in the mood for Halloween. We really enjoyed the story and our favourite part was when the witch used a spell to make herself a ‘truly magnificent’ broomstick! We had a go at designing our own broomsticks, some were covered in chocolate and others came with a couch attached, they all looked fantastic! After that we got to use art straws to make ourselves a magic wand just like the one the witch had in the story. We had a brilliant afternoon!

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming some very important people into P4. We were joined by Mr Johnstone and Ms Robertson from the Scottish Government and Mr Craig and Ms Fisher from North Lanarkshire Council. Here is some of the maths learning that we shared with them…
Here are some other maths stations we’ve been working on recently to consolidate our learning…
We’ve done so well and now it’s time to move on to our next maths concept – multiplication! Great work P4!

Here in Primary 2/3 we are super excited about our new science topic on electricity! We spent some time in the ICT room today researching facts about lightning and we found some really cool pictures of lightning storms.

Children had great fun today learning all about different occupations, skills needed for careers and Interview techniques.
The class were split into four groups of five and were given the chance to work at four different stations around the room.
The stations were occupation pictionary at the smart board, occupation charades in the library, unusual job research with the iPads and Interviews round a table.
Children learned all about the different skills needed for all the jobs. They were gaining experience of how to act at an interview while also learning about the variety of careers that are out there. Phew! A lot of learning and lots to think about.
At our plenary when asked “Name something from today that you will use in the outside world?” The children replied, “All of it!” 
Our morning was made complete with very special visitors from the Scottish Government. Mr Johnstone and Mrs Robertson who were joined by Mr Craig and Mrs Fisher. They really enjoyed finding all about our work.

In primary 1 we are so enthusiastic about out learning and this week has been no different! Our primary 7 buddies came to visit us and we shared the wonderful stories we have written with them. They helped us set targets for this term to make our writing even better!
During R.E we have been learning about God’s beautiful creation. We decided to go on an Autumn walk and take pictures of some things God created including trees, the sky and some plants. We even collected some crunchy leaves that had fallen from the trees to make some hedgehogs and squirrels because we have learned that God made animals too.
Keep checking our blog to see our finished hedgehogs and squirrels!
To top off our busy and exciting week two of the girls brought in items for show and tell and we had a song from one of the boys!
My cat costume for Halloween!
Beautiful rosary beads from my gran.
A song complete with actions!
Keep up the hard work boys and girls!!

This week in Primary 2 we have been learning all about autumn. We read an autumn story and talked about all of the different things that happen when the seasons change. We learned some facts about hedgehogs and then we got to make one of our own! We have all painted our hedgehog and next week we will stick leaves on to decorate them. We really love to paint in Primary 2!

Halloween has arrived early in primary 7 with our spooky symmetry pictures! Children drew half of a spooky image on a line of symmetry and then asked their shoulder partner to complete it with the help of a mirror. Children really enjoyed seeing the finished spooky images.
Our next steps are symmetrical patterns across a symmetry axis! Scary!
