P5 and P5/4 homework due 25th March.
Design and create a Roman Soldier’s Chariot. Research different designs and decoration. It’s up to you what materials you use. We will share our chariots with the rest of our year group.
Here are some ideas. Have Fun!
Primary 1 have been practising their addition and subtraction sums using games and concrete materials. All of the children have been so engaged in their learning and have been very keen to share their work with their peers and teachers. Keep it up!
We have been using dominoes to add and subtract numbers on a whiteboard.
We have been playing addition bingo in a small group.
We have been using coins to help us add up values to 10p. Next week we will look at making up larger numbers.
We have been using number lines to help us add and subtract numbers too.
Last week we were very busy learning about ck words and we participated in a range of activities to consolidate our learning.
ck word ideas we came up with:
sock, rock, lock, dock, clock, rocket, padlock, pack, back, kick, pick, sick, lick, stick, brick, click, tick tock, luck, duck, truck and neck.
Both p4 classes are looking at the properties of different materials this term and why and how we recycle some of these materials. At the end of the block we are hoping to design and make some outfits and hold a fashion show. In order to make these clothes we need some materials that we can recycle e.g. old boxes, foil, plastic bags, cardboard tubes etc. Please sent things into school over the next few weeks so we can see what materials we have to work with. Thanks
Comment below with something you have enjoyed or something that has stood out for you. Think about the skills used or the knowledge gained.
Today we learned about Roman soldiers and their armour. We thought about how different it is to soldier’s armour today. We learned about the materials used and the advantages and disadvantages of these. Our task was to create a class Roman soldier. We worked on each piece of armour in groups.
This block we are going to be learning about healthy foods and tasting new and different foods too!
We serve a variety of fruit and vegetables at snack everyday.
If you have any ideas for snack please put them in our suggestion book in the cloakroom – thanks!
We have had lots of yummy things to try this term already….
The scottish pudding cranacan, homemade fruit skewers,different types of breadsticks and dips, Forsyths haggis pies, homemade vegetable skewers and pitta bread, quiche and coleslaw , and homemade banana smoothie.
When we have a new food at snack time, we choose either or green button to Put in the jar. Green if we liked it or a red if you didn’t like it.
We have been looking at 3D shape in P5/4. We have explored features such as faces, edges, and vertices. To create our 3D shapes with spaghetti and plasticine we had to think about what the key features were so that our shapes were stable e.g. edges the same length, edges parallel, right angles.
Some of us discovered that creating triangles within the shapes made them stronger.
As a challenge we had to create a structure linking several 3D shapes. This was difficult because the spaghetti was so fragile.
We had our first games stay and play in ELC today. Thank you to all the parents/carers that came in, we love sharing our learning with you!
We had different game stations which included twister, the snail race , pop to the shops, dominos and a bowling alley!
The children got to practice taking turns, working together, and communicating with different adults and children!
In preparation for World Book Day choose one of the following activities based on your favourite book.
Bring your favourite book to school on Thursday 7th March. Choose a small extract that you could share with a friend. Bring your homework to school on the 7th and we will have a sharing time.
Have fun!
