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 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…

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!

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!

This week we have been busy completing our work for our art displays! Our piece of art was based on African animals. We blended different colours of paint and added a silhouette to create our African theme.

Primary 6/7 had another very busy week. The children were learning all about life in Uganda. We were lucky to have a speaker from a charity called ‘Send A Cow’. We learned many interesting facts about life in Uganda.

We are busy working on our art work for our African display. Wait to you see the finished product!

The Primary 7 house and vice house captains were teaching the children how to dance at the school assembly on Friday, accompanied by Mr Young! They also introduced themselves to the whole school very clearly and confidently! Well done to you!

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!

Primary 2 have been working very hard in maths this week and have produced some great work! We have been learning about odd and even numbers and have loved playing the odd and even games on the smartboard once we have finished our jotter tasks.  We also enjoyed making pairs together to decide if a number is odd or even. Well done Primary 2!
