Back to work in P.1/2

What a busy week we have had in class. During reading time we read with a partner and helped each other with tricky words. Miss Duffy enjoyed listening to us.

Primary 2 have been exploring number families during maths time and primary 1 have been learning about take away. Some of us were forgetting to take away and we added on instead but we’ve got the hang of it now!

We also made number bond bugs and a counting in 5s caterpillar for our maths wall. We still have a few things to add but we think it looks good.

Since it’s the beginning of term, our buddies came to help us set our targets. Thank you buddies for helping us.

At gym time we had to work in teams for our junior jog activities. Even if we weren’t on the winning team we still enjoyed taking part! Toilet tig is one of our favourite warm ups!

We had a great end to our week exploring and working with our friends during our play session!

Our first week back in Primary 4/5

What a great first week back in Primary 4/5. We have returned to school ready to work hard and take part in lots of fantastic learning opportunities.

We started off our week with some competitive games in P.E encouraging our teammates as we raced against each other to see which team would be victorious.

We also enjoyed working in small groups during maths as the primary 5 children began learning about probability and discussed with each other how likely something is to happen by having a group vote.

The primary 4 children enjoyed extending their knowledge about graphs and have come up with a range of questions for each other about their pictograms.

We finished off our week by discussing what things we would like to learn about for our new topic – The Romans.

Keep a look out on our class page for lots more fun activities and work we will be sharing this term!

Primary 1 – a new term.

Welcome back to our class blog. What a week! We have been busy and happy all week long, look and see what we have been doing.

First off, we started to learn take away, but we realised it was nothing new really and it was a bit the same as adding except the sets got smaller.

In the computer room we got back to using the skills we have learned by making a picture, this meant we had to click, drag, drop and use our thinking skills too.

Also this week, we have been learning about our own uniqueness and the uniqueness of our friends in RE . We wrote about our uniqueness for taught writing and read our work to our class mates.

Here are our friendship clouds. We did them cooperatively, and worked as a team, just like our mindful characters Tina and Tim the tortoise.

At the end of the week, we like to talk about our learning and make our 3,2,1,poster, thus helps Mrs Carlin think about what to do with us next.

We read a great story today about a dragon kite. We talked about kites and asked the teacher if we could make kites, she said probably….which means yes!

After our play area time, we chose a feeling face to tell each other how we felt today.

You can catch up with more of our learning on Twitter.

First Week Back in P5/6

A great start to the New Year in Primary 5/6!

The children enjoyed their first lesson at Gaelic football. Mr Bradley said they were superstars!

The children are enjoying our new science topic in Space. The children wanted to learn about the Solar System. We recorded some interesting facts for our Space wall display.

A busy first week back in primary 6/7

Happy New year everyone!

It has been a week of new learning in primary 6/7

This week we began our preparation for confirmation. Our confirmation is the 7th of February and we are very excited about this important sacrament. We have been learning about how Jesus used the Holy Spirit in his life and how people use the Holy Spirit to help others.

Mrs MacFarlane and Mrs Crielly will be hosting an information session all about Confirmation on Monday 15th January at three o’clock. We will be discussing the Sacrament, homework sessions, different roles for everyone and practicalities for the night. We hope to see many of you there.

This week we have also started our new topic World War II. The children were very excited to begin this topic and have already learned about how the war began. We have also started to look at evacuation. The children can’t wait for their next lesson.

This week we have enjoyed reading our novels aloud to our peers and we assessed each other on this. Lots of new targets were set and we hope to achieve these soon.

Welcome back to P4!

We have had a very busy and productive first week back after the holidays and we are all feeling refreshed and ready to learn! We have been talking about our New Year’s resolutions this week and we have set ourselves some targets for the term and the year to come, hopefully we will all be able to stick to them! We also started our new topic in maths which is all about shape, we worked together in pairs to create a poster showing what we already know about shape and what we would like to learn over the next few weeks. We then got to stand up in front of the class and present them to everyone. Here is some of our fantastic work:

Back to school, back to work!

The Christmas holidays were certainly a lot of fun for all of us! However, we’re now back at school and the P.7 class recently had the opportunity to take part in a new sport called benchball. It combines elements of netball and basketball. We had fun playing chest passes, taking shots and working together as a team.

Hope you all enjoy the photographs!

A look back at term 2 in pr 6/7

Happy New Year! We can’t wait to start term 3!

Before we do here is a little look back at our highlights from November and December!

Micro Tyco

Our school decided to join in the micro tyco challenge during November. This involved us getting into teams and coming up with business plans to raise money. The money then got sent to other countries to help those less well off to start their own businesses. We had great businesses set up: guess the monkey’s birthday, Pokemon sale, toy sale, popcorn and candy floss stall. Phew it was all very exciting and we raised hundreds of pounds!

Safety!

We have been learning a lot about making safe choices, peer pressure and how to deal with threatening behaviour. We even had a visit from the Police who gave us great advice!

Buddy time!

We have had so much fun and experience working with our little buddies. We help them to read, write and to set targets for learning. They surprised us with beautiful thank you cards.

We have been really enjoying cooking lessons from a high school home economics teacher. We have learned all about safety in the kitchen, hygiene, different food groups and of course how to make tasty meals!

We are really becoming good at netball. We have loved our lessons and we enjoy playing as a team!

Christmas was excellent in our school this year. From Christmas pantomime in Glasgow, Christmas Lunches, Christmas concerts, Scottish dancing, Christmas parties and of course Secret Santa! What fun we had!

We even went down and sang for St Bartholomew’s parish!

Last but not least! We had big bingo!

What a great experience! Lots of parents and guardians came in to play bingo with us. Money raised was passed on to Missio.

Primary 1 Last Week of Term.

We have had a fabulous last week of school this term. We cannot believe how quickly it has gone.

Here we are with our Show and Tell books. Everyone was able to do a class talk and show the class their favourite book from home.

Also, one of the highlights of our week had to be our Nativity show, we were superstars, everyone of us!!! Our teacher was the proudest teacher in the whole school.

Then it was party time, here we are with our party gear on, it was a great afternoon with Scottish dancing, traditional party games and dancing.

Our buddies came down to help us review our learning for term 2 and to set new targets for term 3. They were very helpful as it is a lot of work.

We explored visiting a Scottish castle through our drama this week and all remembered the real castle we visited in Stirling at the start of the term.

We evaluated what we felt about the Scottish dancing using our feelings faces.

At the end of the week, we made Christmas cards for our families.

P.3 Athletics

In P.E, we’ve been studying different styles of running. We learned about sprinting (which is good for short-distance races) and jogging (which can come in handy when you don’t want to use up all your energy too soon).

We’ve enjoyed training drills, multi-discipline learning and even a class Championship Race! Well done to everyone who took part!
