P7, Happy and Healthy!

Leave a comment

On Tuesday, Primary 7 took a trip to the James Young High School for their Health Conference.  We enjoyed a day of sporting activities, such as Rugby, Tennis, Handball and Dance.  We found it helpful and interesting to find out our tutor groups and had a chance to meet some new friends.  This trip to JYHS also made us more confident about going up to James Young and us moving on. We met the P.E teachers and Mrs. Hatch (The JYHS head teacher) also spoke to us about or move to JYHS.

Swimming Success in P7a!

Leave a comment

On the Thursday 11th of may I went to Arnsberg in Germany with the Livingston and District Dolphins for a swimming competition in a 50 meter outdoor pool with lots of other people from different countries like Sweden, Amsterdam, England, Belgium, Nigeria  and Ghana. It was really fun because you got to meet the other people there and it was a really good experience for everyone there.

P2 love French!

We have enjoyed learning about ‘Magic E’.

  • Logan: ‘page and Jake are Magic E words’.
  • Matthew: ‘cake and shake and Magic E words’.
  • Maya: ‘Magic E can change vowels and also ‘c’ and ‘g’.
  • Cameron C: ‘Magic E is quiet and can change sounds when he stands silently’.

Ayla liked practising writing the letter ‘s’ for handwriting.

Aiyasha is proud of her reading group for reaching the next Oxford Reading Tree stage.

P2 have been learning to read tricky numbers. Jack read ‘456’ and Ayla and Matthew were practising reading numbers up to 1 million!

P2 had a visit from small talks this morning. We had to say our name, count to 10 and say colours in French. We also learnt how to say ‘odd’ and ‘even’ in French. It was great fun playing the photo game!

P 4/5

In science this week we tested whether the tallest person was the fastest. We were timed on a short run and we also measured our heights. Then we plotted our data on a scatter graph. From that we concluded that height didn’t really matter in our test. Things that might effect speed are weight, fitness, leg muscles, how tired.

Yesterday in PE we worked on our shooting skills in basketball. Carla, Bailey and Keir did very well shooting baskets.

Today in maths we did problem solving which most of us found fun and were successful at! Keir and Katie were very efficient at solving the problems. Well done!

We have worked hard to create a rough copy of our own page based on the book Traction Man. Then we made a good copy, using ink and colour that we will put in a class book. Feel free to drop in and have a read!

CEM tests are done and we look forward to getting back to normal next week!

Successful Learners in P1b

Leave a comment

Another busy week in P1b where we have been practising our growth mindset and learning to persevere and not give up when things get a little bit tricky!

In our non-number maths we learned about weighing objects using balance scales and were good at predicting which items would be the heaviest.

As part of our topic and technology work, we used our findings from last weeks science lessons to work with a partner to design and build a raft to rescue Captain Blackbeard.  We are going to test these out in the water to see which ones will float and be able to save the pirate!

We have also been using our number lines to practise our addition and subtraction skills and enjoyed jumping along the numberline to work out the answers!

Look at what P1a have been up to …

In maths,we have been learning how to weight different items and how to take away on a numberline!

We have also been working on our group work skills and we worked with a partner to design our own rafts to save Captain Blackbeard who is stuck on a treasure island! We were think about what materials might be good for make a raft e.g. wood, plastic, foil etc

We also finished making our treasure maps and they look really old after we dyed them with tea!
