WW2

We have been learning WW2 as our term 1-2 topic. As a class, we have made gas masks using paper mache. We were learning about the Blitz and have built our own Anderson shelters using natural resources from the playground. We all love doing the air raid siren at the beginning of our WW2 lessons. A lot of us have relatives who were in WW2, we been sharing a lot of very precious items from WW2 that they had. A couple of our students have been to Maidens to see where an old Prisoner of War camp was from WW2, and have found some coins and bullets. We have also been reading a book called ‘Fireweed’ which is about a boy and a girl who are runaway evacuees during the Blitz in London.

Literacy – Writing

Hi, my name is Emme and I’m in P7. I am here today to tell you what we have been up to in writing in our class. We have been very busy with our Talk for Writing. We have been learning the model text ‘Kidnapped’ and re-writing the story using symbols and pictures to help us read it from memory without the words. It is awesome. We are now innovating the story using our own ideas to help build suspense. We are doing Quest stories.

Maths

In Primary 7 for Numeracy, we have been doing rounding and problem solving.

For rounding, we have been learning to round whole numbers and decimals. Miss Caldwell has gave us a rounding sheet, which starts at hundreds to millions and goes all the way to hundreds of thousandths and it is very helpful. Now most of the class have started to round 2 numbers then multiple it and use estimations.

We have also really enjoyed problem solving. We did a huge mystery about glue sticks I know it sounds funny but it was really fun and if you managed to find out how had done it you would get an extra 20 minutes of playing outside. Gladly, we all found out that the culprit was Markus.

Welcome to Primary 2!

We are so happy to be back together again after being apart for so long!

Numeracy

This term we are focusing on double number addition and pattern with Miss Lee. We have consolidated our colour and shape patterns through fun and engaging activities! We are now focusing on number patterns by counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

Literacy

In Literacy we are focusing on our writing through ‘Talk for Writing’. Miss Lee and P2 have been focusing on retelling the story of The Three Little Pigs! So far, we have created actions to retell the story and started our storymaps! Keep your eyes peeled for photos and videos of our story. We have had Play Based learning opportunities in the open area to support with our story of The Three Little Pigs. We had lots of fun creating our own houses using the block play area.

In Term 1, we are working on all our initial sounds – we have already covered s, a, t, p, i and n. To help us learn these, you can listen to the Jolly Phonics songs on YouTube. As well as this we are looking at the story of Mr Wiggle and Mr Waggle. Feel free to use the resource below to download the story to practise with your child at home – ask them to show you our fun actions. Mr Wiggle and Mr Waggle

Primary 7 have been working on Place Value this week, looking at partitioning numbers up to 1 million and even into decimal numbers! Check out some of our pupils using dice to make their own decimal numbers which they then successfully partitioned 😍
