P4/3 were learning about the properties of 3 d shape and why it is important to know these. They also learned how to tile some flat shapes and keep a pattern going with colour. They also learned that a right angle has 90 degrees and they have been using their testers to find right angles in the shapes they made using pin boards.
P4/3 New Learning
P4/3 have been learning all about poppies. They wrote a class poem.
Remember Them
Remember the bright red poppies
Growing all around
Saying thank you to you soldiers
Who now lie in the ground.
You stopped men taking our freedom
And protected all our rights
So by saving our way of living
We won the battle and the fight.
So every time we wear the poppies
We will remember all you men
And say Thank you God and
Amen.
By P4/3 2011.
Well done P4/3 for collaborating to write this poem.
P.2/1 Log onto Glow!
Hallowe’en
We have been making pumpkin window decorations. We used our cutting and gluing skills and the looked really scary. We worked well in our groups.
P1-3 Hallowe’en Disco
P1-3 had a fantastic time at their Hallowe’en disco on Wednesday. As you can see from the photos everyone made lots of effort with their costumes including the teachers and parents. I’m sure this will make the P4-7s even more excited about their disco next week.
Primary 6 Use Glow!
P3 Assembly
P3 pupils will be performing their ‘Weather’ assembly to the whole school on Friday 11th of November. Remember to encourage your parents/ carers to come along and enjoy the show!
Primary 5 and 6
Calling all primary 5 and 6 pupils Miss Holley and Miss Weston need your help. After the school holidays we will be starting some exciting craft projects linked to our rainforest topic. To make this project a success we need you to bring in some items from home. We need toilet roll tubes, fruit juice cartons, cereal boxes and newspaper.
You will be rewarded with golden tickets if you manage to bring any of these items in so get collecting over the holidays! 🙂
P.2/1 Let’s Move!
P.2/1 have been working hard in P.E. The children have been participating in “Let’s Move” and have been using their imagination to be pretend toys! Look at how we joined together to become ‘construction toys!’
P7 Science Competition
P7 pupils took part in an active science task this week when they were asked to design an information leaflet detailing their knowledge and understanding of plate tectonics, earthquakes and the recent Japanese earthquake! The winner of the competition was Eilidh Robertson! Congratulations to her!
Shoe Box Appeal
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has brought in items for our shoe box appeal. P7 pupils will be wrapping shoeboxes and filling them when we return from our October holidays! Remember you still have time to bring in items!
Ben’s Baby
We are learning about Ben’s Baby in P1B. We have our own baby corner in our class. We have been talking about all the things a baby needs.
Autumn
In P1a this week we have been learning about the changes in seasons. We have been learning all about autumn. We made autumn paintings and leaf prints. We went a walk around the school looking for the signs of autumn. We were successful learners.
P4/3 pupils access Glow
All pupils in P4/3 now have their login details to access Glow. They have been working hard to remember these and learn the safe rules when on the internet. Well done P4/3. Have a great holiday and I’ll see you after to start sharing our learning with the rest of the school.
Animal Fact Books
As part of our Rainforest research we made some great mini animal fact books. We had to make sure each page was the same size and include some great facts. If you are in our class please ask to have a look.
Toucans
As part of our Social Studies topic ‘The Rainforest’ we have started to make 3D toucans. Today we worked in groups of 3 to papier mache a balloon. This will give us the shape of the body of the toucan. We will need to give our balloons another coat of papier mache before attaching the wings and beak. We will post pictures of our finished toucans after the holidays. Wish us luck!
Harvest – Making Bread
In P1A and P1B we read the story ‘The Little Red Hen’. I the story the little red hen makes bread. We worked together as a class to make our own bread. We had to be effective contributors and knead the bread. We really enjoyed learning how to make bread. 
Making soup in P2
Today we made vegetable soup. We used carrots, turnip, potatoes, leeks and stock cubes. We peeled the vegetables, chopped some and grated the rest. We cooked the soup then ate it. It was delicious!
