It’s Friday again!

We have put a lot of effort into learning our times tables this week. We have lots of different activities we can choose from. Sam Davies made up a times table song at home and now we sing it every morning!

Jamie Nisbet- I like the times table song that Sam made up.

Lewis Millen – It’s fun learning the times table using the four in a row game. We have to know our times table quite well to win and it makes me practice my times tables at home.

Carter Wilson – I like the loop cards best. This week we have beaten our best time by three seconds.

Our writing this week has been focussed on recalling the facts of the Creation Story and the Big Bang theory. We linked our learning by using our diaramas to help us recall the facts of the Creation Story for our writing.

We have also learned the difference between a food chain and a food web this week. Sam said he really enjoyed making a shark food web.

Judo ! What a great time we all had.   Emma Thomson – We learned some basic judo moves. It was great fun!

This morning we invited Miss Elliott’s P2 class to join us for a harvest festival singing practice. They were very well behaved and seemed to enjoy their visit.

This is us singing the harvest rock ‘n’ roll with P2e.

We can’t believe it’s Friday again! What a busy week we’ve had.

In Maths we have been working hard to speed up our recall of the times tables. We use loop cards for this and time ourselves and already we are one minute faster than we were on Monday. Our place value activities this week have focussed on identifying the value of a digit within a number. We palyed a really fun game to help us learn this. Sorry we forgot to take a photo !!!

We continued our writing this week developing the setting in our story. Carter read out his story and it turns out it’s a bit of a thriller. He had the whole class on the edge of their seat! It was clear that Carter’s chioce of words to describe the setting and atmosphere worked well.

Our week –

Lily – I like the loop cards game, especially timimg ourselves because we know we are getting better and better.

Jamie N- The place value game was really fun. I was a digit !

Sam – Loop cards were my favourite part of the week.

Carter – My favourite part of the week was working with Mrs McClafferty to make pictures of the Big Bang. We used differnt chalks and smudged it then we splattered paint over it to look like the Big Bang.

This a a small selection of our work.

Ray – I like that we are learning new Scottish songs. This week we are learning Billy Connelly’s song about wellies. When we learn a new song we get to add it to the music wall.

Primary 5d have had a great fortnight! Last week

we went to Lowport in Linlithgow for our school camp.

We had a great time sailing, swimming and exploring the forest at Beecraigs Country Park.

Ray – I liked the woodland walk and pretending

to be an animal. I camouflaged myself using ferns

and branches.

This week we have had our Onsie Walk . Some of us wore our onsie’s to school.

Catherine – It was really fun and everyone looked so colourful.
