This Week in P4/5

Leave a comment

This week in P.E we learnt and did counter balances. In maths this week we practiced our bus stop method of division. This is hard work but we are getting better and better at it each day. We had a very good and productive time decorating our shoe boxes house which are now all set to be wired up next week. Writing this week was all about pretending we were knights. Chloe Bell did not find this very easy, but she persevered and worked hard. On the other hand Chloe McFarlane loved this writing!
The highlight of the week and been the many wonderful points homework projects that have been handed in! Our classroom looks very full!
Oliver was our Dojo winner this week and Hannah was our star of the week for her work in reading!

Fairtrade Fortnight

Leave a comment

As its Fairtrade Fortnight P1b have been learning all about Fairtrade.  We met Pablo the banana (on the smartboard!) who told us about banana farmers and how hard they work.  We were sad to hear that some farmers work very hard but don’t get a fair price for their goods.  We took part in some drama a
ctivities and pretended to be banana farmers.  Some farmers got a fair price and felt happy, other farmers only got a small amount of money and felt sad.  We also sorted some pictures on the smartboard and learned about what th fairtrade logo looks like.

Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf!

Leave a comment

P1b have been looking at the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ this week.  We have been practising our detailed line drawings on whiteboards before drawing pictures of the wolf with the black pens.  We used writing pencils to shade in our wolves and are very proud of the results!

We also used different colours of paper to produce some artistic pictures of Little Red Riding hood walking to granny’s house through the woods.  We had to cut the different shades of brown paper to make the trees, them assembled the triangles and cut some leg shapes to make Little Red Riding Hood and then finally we made the silhouette of the big bad wolf!

P1a have been working really hard this week ….

We have been learning about symmetry and we made our own symmetrical patterns on the carpet. We have also been practising taking away on a number line.  We have been writing our own take away sums and been working out the answers using either our fingers or a number line.

We have been learning all about the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, we ordered the events of the story, drew pictures and wrote about the wolf.

As it is Fair Trade fortnight, we talked about why Fair Trade is important and we sorted foods which have the Fairtrade Symbol on it.

Can you spot any Fair Trade foods when you go shopping with your family?

Symmetry in P1b

1 Comment

Yesterday, during non-number maths P1b were learning all about symmetry.  We talked about what symmetry means and impressed Mrs Lloyd when we were putting spots onto a ladybird to make it symmetrical.  We also put a line of symmetry down our alphabet rug and had to position ourselves to make it symmetrical.  We were really good at it!

P2’s week

1 Comment

P2 have been busy drawing pictures of our mums for Mother’s Day. We also wrote ‘This is my mum’ stories and ‘I love my mum because…’ which were on the wall at the assembly.

At the assembly we had great fun singing lovely songs about Mummies and Grannies.

Tiegan, Ryan and Ayla liked singing ‘You cannae shuv yer Grannie aff the bus’.

Nicole loved singing ‘The Funny Face’ song.

Matthew enjoyed reading out lovely things about his mum.

Well done to all of the children from P2 who spoke at the assembly: Leo, Sachin, Kieran, Sarah, Ryan, Daniel T, Matthew, Ayla and Jack.

Watch out for a little surprise on Sunday, P2 Mummies!

 

Leo’s favourite part of the week was drawing Supertato for World Book Day. The children all did a super job!

We had great fun outside drawing dinosaur footprints and we used rulers to measure how many cm they were. The children worked extremely hard and were super learning partners to each other. P2 are also learning how to multiply by grouping objects together.

I was very impressed with the Jungle Book reading group this week as they managed to read some tricky words. Well done!

 

Well done to the dojo champion Maya Thomson.

P 4/5 this week

This week was a very exciting week with our World Book Day assembly at the Lanthorn.  We really enjoyed our singing and some of us presented a small play about the book of God’s Law.  We chose to sing the song Bear Necessities and did very well even with the tricky part about the PawPaw.

For World Book Day we enjoyed dressing up as book characters.  We had Sandy Dee, Firestar, Bluestar, Dork Diaries and many more.

Most of us have really enjoyed gymnastics this week, but some of us found it a bit challenging.  In our health we found out how much sugar was in the drinks we enjoy.  7Up really surprised us, and not in a good way.

Today we met Pablo the SuperBanana who was teaching us all about Fairtrade.  We have some exciting homework searching for Fairtrade labels and researching where our food comes from.

Dojo winner this week was…. Emma M.   A special congratulations to Chloe Bell and Emma Russell who proudly represented us at the Burn’s poetry competition!
