We been using objects and our fingers to help us to do this.

What a busy week!

Rhys enjoyed watching the Harvest assembly performed by P5. It brought back memories from when he did it!

Kian loved practising and performing the anti-bullying drama his group planned and presented. We are all looking forward to watching the film of each group and those of Primary 5/6.

Shayne liked watching what the P5s got up to at Lowport. It looked like they had great fun just like Shayne did when he went.

Amy enjoyed the assembly today learning who won the House Cup – well done Almond and Leving. Come on Lanthorn and Camelot!!!!!

P3 Island Adventure

October 9, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Yesterday P3, P2/3 and P2 went on the ferry from South Queensferry to Inchcolm Island. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed a beautiful sunny day spotting seals and having our picnic lunch on the beach.

Andrew and Emma M thought going to the abbey was really good especially going in to the rooms.

Caiden and the rest of the class thought going on the boat was FUN!

Linda loved seeing the baby seal. It looked up at us with its big brown eyes.

Emma S loved the island but decided she wouldn’t want to live there as she would have to get water from the well.

Our week in P4/5

October 9, 2015 Mr Herman 1 Comment

We enjoyed writing this week about our dream piece of playground equipment. Chloe M and Liam really enjoyed designing their equipment. In science we learnt about evolution and why animals needed to evolve. We learnt about white moths that adapted their colour to camouflage with the black trees. Carla was our star of week for being an effective contributor and Chloe & Emma took our Dojo of the week honours!

Nursery enjoy outdoor learning.

Over the last week we have enjoyed taking our learning outside. We went out to find autumn leaves in the local area and now have been using these in our art work and for sorting at our science table.

We got duck food and went to feed the ducks and swans. We noticed that the cygnets feathers are getting lighter and they were also really hungry!

In the nursery we recycled some of our yogurt pots to make bird feeders to hang in the garden. We were excited to see some of the birds eating from them when we went out to play but found out that it was very difficult to get pictures of them!

Open Morning

October 5, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Many thanks to all Parents and Families who gave up their time to attend our Open Morning on Friday. There were many positive comments made about the diversity of learning on show – from Vowel House and Colourful Consonants to Electrifying Circuits and Awesome Art. The House Captains and Vice Captains were very informative guides, making sure all adults found their way to the correct classrooms – well done!

All parents were very complimentary about the choir and said how good it was to hear the school filled with music once again. Thank you also to the beginner brass group who confidently showcased their skills.

Staff and pupils were delighted by the comments left by parents in each classroom – these will be displayed together on Parent Consultation Evenings.

I look forward to welcoming P.5 parents to the Lowport Assembly later this week.

Attention all P1 Parents!!

At the open morning I was asked if there was some more information about colourful consonants and vowel house available for parents. To help you to be able to help your child with their sounds and with the mouth part colours I have added two files to the useful documents section. One shows the different mouth parts and the letters that are made in certain parts of the mouth while the other tells the vowel house story. Please let me know how you get on and if you need any more information or clarification.

Lots of learning in P2

October 2, 2015 Miss Edmond Leave a comment

This week P2 have been learning how to spell ‘qu’ words. Some of the words that we have learned are:

quick
quiet
queen
quit
quack

Matthew: ‘I learned how to do the Jolly Grammar action for qu‘ (which is to make a beak with your hands like a duck quacking).

Ayla: ‘I liked helping Geraldine the Giraffe find lots of qu words’.

Kiernan: ‘I learned how to spell the word queen’.

Andrew: ‘I really liked watching the qu video on alphablocks’.

During science the children learned all about day and night through a torch and globe experiment. We looked at different nocturnal animals and wondered if there were any of these animals living in our own gardens!

Today P2 worked very hard and had lots of fun during our maths open morning. The children were developing their ordering, counting and adding skills within numeracy through practical activities.

Izaak: ‘I learned how to put all of the numbers in order on the computer game’.

Nicole: ‘I learned how to make a black and white pattern’.

Kieran: ‘I have been learning how to count t0 100 all week’.

Thank you to everyone who came to P2 during the open morning. It was great to see so many of you there to support your child.

This week Kiernan Hunter won the class prize for earning so many dojo points this week. Well done Kiernan!
