A wonderful week in Primary1.

Here you can see what we have been learning to do in number work. We are learning to count along an unnumbered track…it can be quite tricky!

We also practiced these counting skills using the game boards with our friends.

It was great fun using the Bee Bots to count along the un-numbered track.

On Friday we had a great start with our parents and carers coming along to our “Stay and Read” sessions. Here we are reading our books with our family and friends. We even got to take a library book home for the weekend! It was brilliant and everyone had a nice morning.

3, 2, 1 – Blast Off!

Primary 4 has had an amazing start to the year launching into their new topic Space. The children have researched our Solar System looking at the eight different planets (sorry Pluto!) and can now put them in the correct order from the Sun. Using their ICT skills the children researched some interesting facts about the planets, cataloging them in their planet booklet. Just last week they worked effectively in teams to create these fantastic information posters. Well done Primary 4! Watch this space (pardon the pun) for the next update!

Primary 1 Super Stars

Welcome to our class blog. We will post our class news on here every week.

Here we all are …self portraits done in charcoal. Aren’t we very talented?

You can see that we have been busy in RE too. After reading the story of “The Kissing Hand” we decorated our own hand print and use these to pray the five fingers of prayer. We pray for …. The weak, Our families, The leaders, Our Pope, Bishops and Priests and finally Ourselves.

Here you can see “Odd and Even Street”. We are using it to help us learn more about numbers. Everyone made a house for the street.

We hope you enjoyed reading our first blog. Look out for more……

A great start to primary 5!

What a fantastic start to Pr 5!

We have been reading The BFG by Roald Dahl. This has inspired us to use our imagination when writing about characters and when creating stories and poetry. We have also been studying the skill and craft of the author along with working on our comprehension strategies. We have created some of our own work which we are sure Roald Dahl would be proud of himself!

We have also loved exploring dreams and dream jars. We have made our own jars in art work and have filled them with some of our fantastic dreams!

: We will use paint in our jars

: Getting paper ready for our jars.

: Pouring dreams into cotton wool!

: Pretty pink paper covered jars

: Hard at work!

: Beautiful!

: Taking special care!

: Work of Art

: Cool jars!

We have also been looking at structures in science. Making our solid structures from spaghetti and sweets was a definite highlight of the week!

Next week is Roald Dahl’s birthday! Can’t wait to see what we will learn next…

P6 – Cool Class, Cool Learning…

Did we mention that we are this week’s ‘Cool Class?’ Well our learning this week has certainly been of Cool Class standard!

We have been learning more about Spain. We worked at different stations to find out about Spanish food, weather, festivals, customs and arts…

: Researching Spanish weather

: Looking at an example of a weather report

: Filming a weather report

: Creating a poster for a Spanish-themed event

: Researching Spanish bullfighting

: Bullfighting. Arguments for and against.

: Learning about the famous Spanish Flamenco dance

: Following instructions to make Spanish fans

: Look what we made!

: Reading about Spanish food

: Making our own Spanish menus

: Yummy! I’ll have the paella please!

Mrs McLean has also been encouraging us to think about our God-given talents this week. In R.E we watched the Parable of the Three Servants and then we read the story again from the Gospel of Matthew. We learned from this Parable, that God gives each of us our own special talents and that we are called to use our talents wisely. Some children shared their talents with the class this week…

: Teaching decimals to the class!

: Sharing art work done at home!

: Helping the class to convert fractions to decimals!

P6 are so good at independent learning (and teaching!) that Mrs McLean might just put her feet up next week and read the paper! Well done P6!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair

Here in Primary 3 we have been learning about the traditional tale of Rapunzel. We wrote some super stories and created some fantastic art work to match. We even used wool to make Rapunzel’s long, golden hair. Our pictures look wonderful on our new Rapunzel wall!

Another fun week for P2!

This week we have had a very busy week and we have learned lot of new things. We learned about nouns and we now know that a noun is the name of a person, a place or a thing. In maths we learned about ordinal numbers and we can put things in order using words like first, second and third. We also had a fun music lesson where we got to play lots of different instruments. We have been so busy that we had to finish our week with some relaxation!

: Choosing the correct noun.

: Ordering flowers using ordinal numbers.

: Keeping the beat!

: Relaxation activities on a Friday afternoon.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All!

Hello everyone and welcome to our Primary 3 class blog. We’ve had a terrific start to the year and today we were learning to place pictures within co-ordinate grids.

We know that those pesky Pokemon like to hide in amongst the long grass, so we helped Mrs Maclean to find them by identifying the correct co-ordinates. In the end we caught ’em all!
