P2/3 Happy Holidays!!!

In Maths we have been learning the Months of the Year. We really enjoy singing along to this song to help us remember the months of the year.

We read Katie Morag Delivers the Mail and Kayla brought in her dad’s mailbag to show the class. Some of the class thought it was made of soft leather and some others thought it made of plastic because it felt rough.

You have all worked very hard this term and I hope you have a restful October break. Mrs Sinclair

Last week of term !!!

P1a have been busy learning all about patterns this week. We can continue shape and colour patterns.

We have been doing lots of practical activities like making pattern bead strings, printing patterns and colouring in the colour patterns.

We have also been doing lots of science this week about water. Did you know that water can be a solid, liquid and a gas.

We explored ice and water and looked at how they were different.

The water is wet – Fraser.

The ice is chilly – Chloe

I liked the ice – Kayleigh

Well done P1a

It’s almost the holidays!

Well, Primary 6 and 7B certainly did themselves proud this morning as we said our sad but happy goodbyes to Mrs Oliver and Mrs Learmonth. The ladies have been at the school for a combined total of 32 years! We sang our special version of ‘You will retire!’ to the tune ‘You will survive!’.

We also sang Mrs Lough’s favourite song as she is off to a new school over the river 😉 in Glasgow. We sang James Bay’s ‘Hold Back the River’.

P 4/5’s breaking news

This week in science we finished up our unit on inheritance, where we learnt about different characteristics.  We have started to develop our skills in benchball this week and were very successful.  Also this week we started reading the Twits, and we looked at a character description of Mr. Twit.  Chloe had a very different view of what Mr. Twit would look like, while Lucca’s looked very close to what Mr. Twit looked like in the book.  On Friday we had lots of fun dressing up as different animals to help support the building of a orphanage in Kenya.  Star of the week this week was Lucca, well done!! Hopefully we will win Goblet of Good Manners when we get back.

P4 update

Carlos really liked doing his art homework for the African art competition. Well done to everyone who took part in it and to Carlos who is our class winner. His picture will be going over to Africa with Mrs Lough and Miss Kennedy in the October break. We hope they have a great time. Brooke really liked our spelling work and now remembers the rule about dropping the e before adding a y. Sanah has been working hard on joining up letters in her handwriting and is feeling pleased with what she has done. Coben thought it was great fun acting out bits of ‘Gangsta Grann’y- our class novel. He really like playing the part of granny. Ryan was really pleased to get all of his work finished off. Well done P4 for a great first term.

Holiday Week

This week P3 continued working on numbers to 100. Some groups have been adding numbers over 100!

Yesterday we enjoyed make shoreline pictures using tissue paper to great effect.

We are nearly at the end of our Katie Morag topic and this week we put speech from a story into speech bubbles and we also read Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted. We shared things that make us angry and frustrated and spoke about ways of calming ourselves down.

Through our writing we were reminded of our adventure to Inchcolm Island last week.

We are all looking forward to our holidays next week.
