As part of their home learning this week primary 6 have been asked to log onto glow and leave a comment about their favourite things of this term. Miss Weston is looking forward to reading all the comments 🙂
P5 – Haikus
P5 have been learning how to write Haiku poems. We learned about syllables before writing our Haiku poems. Each Haiku was based on a rainforest plant or animal and we used our research notes to ensure the information was accurate. Our success criteria was to write a poem with 3 lines with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second and 5 syllables in the third. Watch this space for some excellent examples!
P5 – Learning in Science
P5 have been using the mnemonic MRS. GREN to remember the seven life processes. We have learned that something is only alive if it does ALL seven processes. The letters in her name stand for each of the life processes – movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion and nutrition. We worked collaboratively to create posters explaining each of the life processes.
Greedy Zero
Today we have been learning all about Greedy Zero. He is a gorilla who lives in the number zoo. He has a big fat tummy that looks like the number 0.
P.2/1 Star Pupil
Well done to Jamie-Lee who is the star pupil in our class this week! Jamie-Lee has worked hard to be a successful learner and has shown that she is an effective contributor when working in groups.
P2 Recording Shadows
As part of our Sun, Moon and Stars topic we recored the different position of a shadow throughout the day. We also looked at the position of the sun at different time of the day. It looked as if the Sun had moved but we learned that it was the Earth that had moved.
Soup making in P2
We are going to make vegetable soup in class on Tuesday. We will use some vegetables related to Harvest.
P2 Stars of the week.
Over the last few weeks these peopl have been our Stars of the week Robbie Hamilton, Jamie Murray, Niamh Draper, Ms Kitchin and Jack Nicholls. All of them had a great time with Bobby. I wonder wo will take him home for the holiday.
Primary 6 Active Maths
P6 have been working hard planning their own theme park. They have had £500,000 to spend on rides, paths, car parks and toilets. They have now drawn a plan of their park onto squared paper. We are now going to write a leaflet to advertise our park. We got some really good ideas from looking at P7’s parks. Hopefully we will be able to show them how ours have turned out very soon.
Making Bread
Next week in P1 we will be making bread! We will tell you next week if we are successful!
Harvest
We have been learning all about Harvest in P1a. We read and discussed ‘The Little Red Hen’ story. We cut out and put the pictures from the story in order. We used our scissors to cut out neatly. We were successful Learners!
Welcome to Our Class
We worked as a class to make a welcome poster for any new pupils to our class. We made it bright and colourful adding lots of details in our pictures.
Materials
We have been learning about different materials. We worked in groups to find different things made from glass, wood, metal and plastic! We were successful Learners!
Story Writing
Our story writing this week was all about tidying our rooms. We used our elbow partners to talk about a time when we had a really messy room. Shannon and Morgan were our star writers! Well done!
Tiger Ten
In number time this week we have been learning all about the number 10. Tiger Ten lives in the zoo and has 10 whiskers and ten stripes! He is a very clever tiger!
LIBRARY BOOKS
To all of my class! Remember your library books for tomorrow or Monday. We missed the library this week thanks to the beautiful Scottish weather this week so we will swap books with others in our class so we don’t miss out on a new book to read. We are next due to go back to the library after the October week break.
Thanks!

Primary 6 Rainforest Acrostics
Primary 6 have written more great poems on the rainforest. This times we wrote acrostic poems spelling out ‘The Rainforest’.
T- There was a spiky flower that stung my leg as I walked along the forest flower, it stunk. I read in a book that it’s called a rafflesia.
H- Horrid nettles stung my arms and with fear I looked up above my head and I could hear a beautiful macaw soaring through the sky.
E- East, South, North and West my compass said. I looked around with fear when suddenly something bit my ear. It was a horrid spider, I shook with fear.
R- ‘Roar’ said the lion as it flew past me. I shouted with glee it’s orange fur was as bright as the golden sun, it was very fun.
A- As I walk through the rainforest I saw a beautiful butterfly flutter past me. It was orange, green and red it landed on my head.
I- In a corner I saw a snake it was yellow and red hanging above my head.
N- Now it was silent but not for long as a very loud gorilla ran along.
F- Further away I saw an enormous elephant walk through the jungle, it was a lovely sight.
O- On a leaf I saw a little lady bug, it was bright red and I think it was dead.
R- Rattle snakes slither past me as I sang with glee I suddenly stopped to let it pass me.
E- East I was walking and then I saw another marvellous macaw fly past me.
S- Suddenly a large lake splashed me and I was as wet as a fish in the sea.
T- Then I stopped, it was the end of my marvellous trip I shouted with glee it was finally me!

TIGER
T- Trudging through the rainforest were four big paws. Each armed with sharp and spiky claws.
H- Humidity was reaching twice the normal and fear was burning all the nearby life.
E- Elephants run into hiding spots. Trees shake as the monkeys swing away.
R- Red hot eyes like burning cities and pumas as black as mist.
A- An ocelote facing the other way stands watching the waterfall suddenly flashing white fangs tear into it’s neck.
I- In the upper layers the birds stop singing. The leaves crinkle back in horror.
N- Nostrils flaring like jet engines. Ears twiching like flapping bird wings.
F- Fog changes direction when it’s gaping jaws open.
O- Orange fur blazes in the sun and the black stripes streak across the body of the walking bullet.
R- Rouge tailed, it races through the trees stopping by the rocks of a cliff. Brazing it’s paws and tilting it’s head.
E- Echoing it’s roar across the forest ripping through the trees.
S- So now everyone knows it’s the king of the jungle as it stands on the top of the cliff.
T- The tiger is here and he’s hunting for blood.
