Busy bees in P1b!

This week in class we have been learning some new sounds – n, i and k.  We have been learning how to correctly form the sounds and have been thinking about some things which begin with these sounds.  We made some igloos when we learned about i and a nest when we were learning about n.

In maths we have now learned how to write all the numbers to 10 and are continuing to practise forming these neatly and correctly.  We have been looking at dot patterns and numbers on the ten frame and have been trying to quickly say how many there are without counting e.g. when there is one space we know that this is 9 as one number is missing.  We have enjoyed lots of different activities during Scottish Maths week.

We also enjoyed reading the Roald Dahl book ‘The Enormous Crocodile’ this week to celebrate Roald Dahl day.  We created our own pieces of art disguising the crocodile in different ways just like he did in the book!  They are fantastic!

P6a – Scottish Maths Week and Roald Dahl Day

We have been busy this week in class. We have been taking part in Scottish Maths Week where we worked collaboratively with others in our class to complete various challenges. Check out our photos where we used a single string to create 2D and 3D shapes. We all had to have a hand on the string at all times.


Wednesday was Roald Dahl Day. We created our own chocolate bar/sweetie and described why others may want to eat/buy it.
We hope to share more with you throughout the school year.
Thanks for reading,
Mrs Murray and P6a

Visit to the Post Office

The nursery children had the opportunity to visit the post office in the centre where they have to find out what happens to letters and parcels after we take them there. The children learnt about how the ladies have to measure the post to ensure that the correct money is paid for the postage.

We would like to say Thank You to Caroline for letting the children visit.

 

 

Lots of Fun in P1b

Well done to all the boys and girls in P1b.  You have settled into school life really well and are all working so hard.

On Monday we practised our listening skills in the small hall and enjoyed moving around the hall in different ways.

In literacy this week we have learned about the sounds p, a and t.  We have been learning how to form the sounds correctly and have been thinking of some words that begin with these sounds.  Connor enjoyed writing the ‘t’ sound using our reminder ‘down the tower, out the tower then across the tower!’

In writing, we read the story ‘Six Dinner Sid’ and thought about our favourite dinner.  The children drew detailed pictures and wrote about their best dinners.  Patrycja enjoyed using her sounds to write her story about her favourite dinner-  pizza.

In maths, we practised ordering numbers, forming our numbers correctly and even had a go at reading the number names from 0-5.  Everyone enjoyed playing the splat the number name game at the teach table!

On Thursday afternoon we enjoyed lots of different activities in the structured play area.  We were being creative at the art table, sorting pictures showing different emotions,  (joy, sadness, disgust, anger and fear) reading in the library corner, completing number jigsaws, building with the construction, playing with the dolls houses and dressing up in the role-play area.  It was great fun!

We also had fun in the school library and can’t wait until the computer is fixed so that we can scan a book out and take it home!

Keep up the good work boys and girls. Looking forward to next week!

Nursery Welcome

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new children and returning children to our nursery. We have had a busy few weeks in the nursery and the children have settled in well. We will have regular updates on this blog on what the children have been learning about.

 

A fun week in P4

This week in Maths we were learning to learning to add 1,10, 100 and even a thousand to numbers up to 10.000.

561 + 10 = 571

5601 + 100 = 5701

 

In writing, we were learning to write the beginning of a story and we were focusing on capital letters and full stops.

During topic time, we started to learn about John Logie Baird and he invented the Television. We used the computers to research facts about him!

Well done to Arran McSporran for getting Star of the Week for all his hard work!

 

 

Playing in the rain

This afternoon just like many afternoons this week the nursery children enjoyed playing outside in the rain. Many children enjoyed going down the slide in the waterproof trousers as it was made faster by the rain. Although some children managed to go down without waterproof trousers and go a wet bottom.
