Wonderful Workers in P1/2

Leave a comment

Well done to all the children in P1/2 who have been working very hard this week.  In maths, we have been working on patterns and have tried to complete some patterns as well as creating our own.  Take a look!

We have also been trying hard to work out one more and one less, we have explored spot patterns and ten frames and have practised counting carefully to ten.  Mrs Lloyd thinks we are getting really good at this!

We enjoyed our weekly visit to the school library where we choose a book to take home and looked for some of the sounds that we’ve been learning inside our books.  We found loads!  P1/2 go to the library every Thursday so please try to remember to bring your book back on this day so that you can swap it for a new one

Enjoy your weekend boys and girls – more fun learning coming your way next week!

Even though it was a very short week in Primary One, it has still been a very busy week …

We have learnt how to read and write the n and k sounds.

Kayla  – N is a blue sound

In maths we have been learning about patterns and how to repeat them. We have also been busy learning about one more and one less.

We also have other exciting news …

We had a visit from Wellow Bear. Wellow Bear is going to be staying at Bankton so he can learn all about Scotland.

We found out what Wellow Bear school badge means and we talked about where he came from.

Leave a comment

As part of the ‘World’s Largest Lesson’ , P1  and P1/2 learnt about recycling and why this it is important to cut down the amount of rubbish that we throw away ..

Ruaridh – It will help to save the world

Kayla – We can recycle cardboard

Harry – We can recycle metal

Kyle – Wwe can recycle plastic

We also played a game where we had to think of a new use for a item we might throw away! P1 came up with some great ideas !

Rosie – It a stick to balance with

Jamie Wilkie – Its a walking stick

Finally, we all went outside to play a sorting game where we had to sort the recycling into the correct boxes. It was great fun !img_3245 img_3246 img_3247 100_7422img_3248 img_3249 100_7425

Working hard after our mid term break!

Caiden has enjoyed working with chimney sums to do his adding. Farrah thought that it was interesting asking the class questions to collect information for her tally chart. She found it lots of fun. Jack really enjoyed using the information to draw his graph.

We had lots of fun on Thursday when William from SmallTalk came in to speak French with the children and to show them some games. It was quite challenging remembering which word used a le and which one used a la. Lots of games kept us busy and active as we learned new words about the family and practised some of the French language we already know.

Emma and Carlos used their IT skills well to find out information on endangered animals which was part of our work on the world’s largest lesson. Lewis liked using the information he’d found to make a poster. Tiana learned that elephants are one of the most endangered species. If we don’t stop the poaching, there will be no elephants left in 25 years time! They will be extinct. It is important that we all look after our planet.

P4 this week

This week we have continued our work on number talk. We use strategies like friendly numbers and number bonds to help us solve a range of addition problems. Next week we will move on to looking at different take away problems. We focused on the red cog- body sensations – this week where we look at how emotions feel in different parts of your body. We wrote on outlines of people where we felt different emotions. For our Global Goals, World’s Biggest Lesson we looked at inequality. We have learnt that some people around the world don’t have much money while other people are very rich. The top 85 richest people in the world have more money than the poorest 3.5 billion. Dojo Champ of the week was Louise! Well done Louise.
