P3F homework

Hello P3F parents,
I am sorry that it has taken me so long to use the blog. I am only just getting the hang of it. Just a little message about the spelling homework. As this week is revision of the last few spelling rules the children do not need to create two new words of their own. The children should copy out the words twice and write three sentences using at least one of the spelling words in each of them as usual.
Thank you
Miss Frew

Sushi Chefs

sushi-2

Yesterday morning, P7 pupils mixed up to make two different Japanese foods. Some pupils made vegetarian sushi and the others made Hina-Arare. The sushi rice was already prepared because it has to cool down before being used to make the sushi rolls. We watched a video to show us how to prepare it. Cook the rice then add a mixture of rice vinegar with sugar and salt to season it. We then watched a video to show us how to make the sushi rolls.

One group had to chop and prepare the vegetables for the sushi. We used carrot batons. Then the cucumber and peppers were julienned (cut into short, thin strips) and deseeded and spring onions were cut into long thin strips.

We placed the nori (dried, flattened seaweed) on sushi mats. After moistening our hands with water, we covered the nori with a thin layer of sushi rice. This was a sticky job but quite fun. In pairs we discussed which vegetables we would like to put in our sushi rolls. We carefully lined up the ingredients.

Now the tricky part…We used the sushi mats to help us roll the sushi. We had to make sure it was really tight and of course be careful not to roll the mat inside the sushi! Everyone managed to make great looking sushi rolls. We had to wait for the Hina-Arare to chill before tasting our creations.

Scary Victorian School Day

Primary 6P were shaking in their shoes when they visited Scotland Street school. P6P were transported back in time to become Victorian school children. They entered a real-life Victorian classroom complete with a very, very, very scary Victorian teacher (not Mrs. Polonis!) P6P had to recite their times tables, write onto slate then use a pen and ink to scribe the alphabet without any splodges. There was a huge sigh of relief when they returned to becoming 21st century pupils of Bishopton Primary School. Here are some photos from our scary but enjoyable and informative trip:

Homework Update

Good evening!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Maths homework this week will be given to the children on Wednesday and this week we will be practicing number bonds of twelve.
Currently Primary 2H are given a new reading book on a Monday which is returned on a Friday when completed. Previously this homework involved set pages designated per night Monday-Thursday; however, I am aware that many children in the class are completing their book at their own pace throughout the week. Therefore, I will no longer be setting pages to be completed on specific nights. The children may complete their reading at home with you at their own pace by Friday each week. As Friday this week is a holiday, the reading will be completed by Thursday. In addition, children who are reading ‘Kate and the Sheep’ will not be assigned homework comprehension questions this week.
The children have been sharing their love of reading with me this term and it is lovely to see! Therefore, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support with your child’s learning and reading at home.

Best Wishes,
Miss Hamilton.

Fracking Debate

fracking-2

This afternoon, we held our debate on fracking.  Each of you had to take on the role of a member of a community where a company were proposing to start fracking. The roles were:

  • the owner of a fracking company
  • an unemployed person
  • a member of the Green Party
  • a member of the Conservative Party
  • a member of the community whose garden would be disturbed
  • the owner of a gas company
  • the owner of a solar energy company
  • the water company
  • yourself.

Each group has to share their notes and research on fracking and decide if their character would be ‘for’ or ‘against’ the fracking company starting up in Bishopton. They had to decide on a list of arguments and counter-arguments to share during the debate.

Everyone had the opportunity to share their view (in character) and then they could call on specific people to question or put their point across further. I was pleased to see  that the majority took the debate seriously and showed a good understanding of fracking and its advantages and disadvantages. Poor Amy and Grace who were representing the Conservative Party took quite a verbal bashing from a lot of people but managed to stand their ground and argue their case. One member of the fracking company (no names) made a little error in judgement and let slip they were telling a white lie! Alex, another member of the fracking company did a good job of explaining his way out of that one!

See below for the positives and negatives mentioned and some photos of the passionate debate taking place.

Positives Negatives
Unleashes trapped fossil fuels Uses lots of water
Cheap to produce energy Some water is trapped underground which we can never get back
Creates jobs Creates waste water (with chemicals that cannot be untreated)
More fuel means gas costs are reduced The drilling can cause small earthquakes
The waste water contains toxins that may poison or cause cancer

P7 Songs for PACE

Please learn the lyrics for the two songs below:

Standing Up

Music by David Ramsay & Alan Orr, Lyrics by Pauline Ramsay

Paisley has a chance, a positive future

As city of culture 2021

To take on this task we know is a challenge

But Buddies unite and we’ll get it done

We will be proud to celebrate Paisley

We have a say in what this could mean

We will be part of brighter tomorrows

We have the drive and we share the dream

Standing up, to be counted

Back the bid and Paisley will thrive

Standing up, for our future

This will change the rest of our lives

The story you’ve seen of Weavers and Wallace

Historically what has made Paisley so great

We’re not just a town that’s somewhere near Glasgow

And now it’s our time, we really can’t wait

Standing up, to be counted

Back the bid and Paisley will thrive

Standing up, for our future

This will change the rest of our lives

 

This is Our Day

Music and Lyrics by David Ramsay

VERSE ONE

One thread that binds us holds us so strong forever

One thread reminds us we must all stand together

One thread unites us with its unseen power

Leads us to victory our finest hour

CHORUS

This is our day, and there’s

No-one here who’ll stop us have our say

Now the time has come for us

This is our day, this is our day

BRIDGE

Put your hand in mine

Now is the time

Our future’s on the line

So reach out and take it

Reach out and take it

CHORUS

This is our day, and there’s

No-one here who’ll stop us have our say

Now the time has come for us

This is our day, this is our day

This is our day and there’s

No-one here who’ll stop us have our say

Now the time has come for us

This is our day

This is our day

This is our day x2

Please remember that homework is due on Thursday this week as Friday is a holiday.

P3/2 Technologies – Evaluating the Basket

Last week, P3/2 started their craft and design project based on the story, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We read the story and then discussed the problems found in it. It was clear that the basket Mrs Grinling was sending down to the lighthouse had lots of issues that could be fixed!

The class then had to sort different statements about the basket into positives and problems. Next week, we will begin to think about how we can solve the problems in the basket to improve the product.

We also looked at some of the lunchboxes in the class to give us ideas of how Mrs Grinling’s basket could be made even better.

Here are P3/2 sorting the statements into positives and problems.

P3H Technologies – Evaluating Products

Last week, P3H started their craft and design project with great enthusiasm! They will be making a class set of juggling balls.

We discussed that before starting to design a new product, we should evaluate what has gone before. In groups, they reviewed 3 different kinds of juggling balls. They gave the following criteria a mark out of 5 using the star profile sheet: shape, colour, child appeal, function and decoration. They then totaled up the marks for each of the criteria to give a score for each ball.

Here are P3H sharing their ideas and evaluating the products.
