Number Bonds to 10

We have been recapping our number bonds before we move on to trickier adding. Some pupils had forgotten or were a bit slow so we have been working on recalling the bonds quickly. These two games have been a huge hit in the class and have caused lots of excitement. Each pupil has been trying to improve their own score. The more we play it, the better we get.

Rounding to the nearest 10

P3a are rounding masters now! I am so proud of all of them! We have been using number lines, playing connect 4 games, paired games, show me games with a partner and we have completed some worksheets too. The rocket rounding game is a favourite with all the class.

Click on the link below to have a go. Some pupils were even managing to do it without the number line.

Halloween

We enjoyed making cauldron pictures using paint bubbles. We painted some pumpkins then decorated it with pens. We played some halloween games in the afternoon including wrapping up mummies and the corner game.

Learning about dissolving

We had a fun science lesson last term where we experimented with different items to see if they would dissolve in water or not. The pupils loved this lesson and had a great time. We tried sugar, flour, coffee, rice, salt, sand, chalk and honey. Can you remember which ones dissolved and which ones didn’t? We had to figure out what to do with the things that wouldn’t dissolve. The class enjoyed going outside to empty out their cups or putting it in the bin. Items that dissolved were safe to put down the sink.

Meta-skills covered during this lesson include: focusing, initiative, communicating, collaborating, curiosity and critical thinking.

Exploring Ice

We did an experiment to see if ice (a pretend snowman) would melt quicker or slower if he had clothes on. Ask your children the answer! They were all surprised.

We have also been having fun with ice in the water tray and seeing what we can do to speed up the melting process. We also got the paints out and painted on the ice.  Lots of fun!

Meta-skills covered are focusing, adapting, communicating, collaborating, curiosity, sense-making, creativity and critical thinking.

Kites, Wind Socks and Birds

We had the best time in the wind with our crafts we had made in art with Mrs Sinclair. There was lots of skirling and screeching.

Meta-skills covered are focusing, adapting, initiative, curiosity and creativity.

We also put a rain gauge out to measure how much rain fall there has been. But it keeps being blown over in the wind. We are going to use stones along the bottom to hopefully keep it in place.

Numeracy Week – Place Value

We have been learning about place value this week.

Meta skills included in our numeracy lessons this week are focusing, initiative, communicating, collaborating, leading, sense-making and critical thinking.

Numeracy Week – Orienteering

The class loved during orienteering last term when we were doing our health week. Mrs Ritchie made up some more orienteering tasks for us to use based on numeracy. We did two today, one which included numbers and colours and one that used directions, colours and adding. The sun was shining and the class had a great time!

Meta skills included are focusing, initiative, communicating, collaborating, leading and critical thinking.

Back to school – P3a

We are back from our holidays and have started p3a. We have been playing with lots of new toys. There are army soldiers in the middle wing and there is a space station. The favourite has been the phone and the computer to play pretend offices.

We have written about what we did in the summer holidays and Mrs Anderson has put them up on the wall.

Drawing has been fun.

We went to explore our p3 outdoor area and we have fun at the Adventure Playground.

Orienteering

We had a great time in the multi doing an orienteering task. We then had an explore in the wildlife area and there was a very friendly red admiral butterfly going from one set of rocks to another, it nearly landed on us a few times.

Sports Day 2024

We had a great day! Thank you to the parent helpers who counted, timed and generally helped out. It was very much appreciated. What a busy morning it was!!

“I liked watching the mini marathon”

“I liked doing the running races”

“I liked doing the jumping over the triangle”

“I liked doing the speed bounce”

“I liked playing with my friends”

“I liked everything”

To relax in the afternoon after a busy morning we decided to watch The Snale and The Whale.

Primary Two – Our favourite bits..

We were discussing all the fun times in primary two. The pupils had so many times to talk  about, we ran out of space on the white board and had to use some mini- whiteboards to add all our ideas on to.

Some of the highlights of the year were:

  • Outdoor learning – we have done lots but the favourites were the stoney beach and the burn
  • Baking – pancakes and gingerbread men
  • Fruit testing
  • Parties
  • Play
  • Map making
  • Swimming
  • Museum visit
  • Bookbug visits
  • Going to the library
  • Story time
  • Having parents in to do maths games
  • Making circuits
  • Gym time

We made acrostic poems on our favourite experiences.
