This week, P1F used their paper template to help them cut out their felt. This was a very tricky task! They worked with a partner to help them hold down the template on the felt while they drew round it with chalk. Once the chalk outline was complete, they used scissors to carefully cut around the edge.

Well done to everyone for working so hard and taking their time to complete the task! In our next craft and design lessons, we will be decorating the bunting using various materials. I can’t wait to see how the bunting looks when it’s finished!

Here is the class hard at work!

P3/2 are making great progress with their Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch project. In our next lesson, they will begin designing their replacement lunchboxes for Mr Grinling.

We discussed that before starting to design a new product, we should evaluate what has gone before. In groups, they sorted 9 different lunchboxes from best to worst by different criteria: strength, appearance, water-resistance and finally, as a lunchbox for Mrs Grinling to send to the lighthouse containing lunch.

Here are P3/2 sharing their ideas and evaluating the products.

Today we were learning about 3D shapes.  It would be great if you could look for 3D shapes at home.  If possible, please bring your examples of 3D shapes to school next Thursday,  to add to our shape display In the classroom.  Many Thanks, Mrs Simpson.

We were finding out about primary and secondary colours today. We took primary coloured ice cubes and mixed them to make secondary colours. Then we painted colour wheels. Apologies if anyone got paint on their clothes.   The ice cubes melted very quickly in our warm little hands.

On Monday, we will have a PACE workshop about Paisley 2021 UK City of Culture Bid. Please learn the two songs we have practiced in class and bring BLACK/DARK clothing for our performance later in the day.

 
The link below contains the words to the songs.

We are still looking for one more helper for this visit.

Grandparents are more than welcome.

Please put a note in homework diary.

Many thanks

For a craft activity we require one small water bottle per child. If you have any spare, or about to go into recycling, I would be grateful if you could send them in.

Thank you

Miss Hamilton.

Good evening everyone.

Please read on to find your Book Detective homework due on Wednesday 5th October.

Please read chapter 27. Your summariser for these chapters should include information from ALL of the chapters as this will show your understanding of what you have read.  An illustration, with a written explanation, should also be completed. Please choose your favourite part to read aloud to your group members in class and record the chapter, page number and number of the paragraph you have chosen in your Book Detective jotter along with a short explanation why you picked your chosen paragraph. There is no need for you to write out the paragraph you have chosen.

Please ensure you complete this task otherwise you will have no information to share with your group and will be unable to participate in our class lesson.

Due to our class trip tomorrow (Thursday) I will return your Book Detective jotters on Friday.

I hope you are looking forward to our trip as much as I am.

As we are nearing the end of the term, P3/2 would like to invite one parent /guardian in to see our work from term 1.  We have been working very hard on our Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch topic and are excited to share our learning.  Our open afternoon will be Friday 7th October.  It will start at 2pm and last until approximately 3pm.  The children will be performing 2 songs for you all and then you will get the opportunity to come in to class to see our work.  There will also be a small picnic prepared by the children and some dramas will be performed using our craft Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch model islands. The children will be creating special invites for you this Friday but a letter has also be sent home with the details.

We look forward to seeing you.

Hi Primary 6!

I have found a great YouTube channel for learning times tables! It could help us with some of the tricker, higher ones!

The channel is called Mr DeMaio and he is a fellow teacher from America who has created songs to help us learn our times tables!

Check him out!

As we near the end of our Elmer topic, we will be having a celebration day with our buddies on Friday 7th October.

Like Elmer, we would like you to be as colourful as you can that day so it will be a non-uniform day.

In the morning we will be doing lots of Elmer activities and in the afternoon we will do something amazing with all your milk cartons and a little help from our buddies.

We are really looking forward to it.

P5S had a very successful kite-flying outing in the rain today. After making the kites out of paper, art straws, tape, string and ribbon, the class went out to test them. It was a little damp outside so the kites got a little wet! This meant they were heavier and harder to fly and there were also a few technical issues (things falling apart!).

Despite the problems caused by the weather, everyone managed to get their kite to fly! Well done everyone. Next week we will start to plan our final kite. Get thinking about the different materials and designs you may use.

As requested, here are the instructions to make the kite at home.

Here  are two examples of Bishopton Best Homework. I can see you took great time and effort to complete your work. Well done!

For a craft activity we require small water bottles.  1 per child.  If you have any spare or about to go into recycling I would be grateful if you could send them in.  Thank you .

If you have not yet selected a preference for the upcoming parents night, I will be taking in any remaining forms tomorrow morning before arranging appointment times.

A great start to the P7S Japan presentations. I can’t wait to hear the rest tomorrow!
