Primary 1 learning!
Another fabulous week in primary one!
In literacy we were revising the sounds we have learned so far, we practised identifying our vowel sounds in words and made our own vowel trains! We were also matching upper and lower case letters, finding words that rhyme and reciting the alphabet.
Mrs Howley’s class had great fun visiting the school library and looking at different types of books. We enjoyed reading together in small groups.
In our topic work, we discussed old and new toys and their differences. We enjoyed drawing pictures of our favourite toys. Miss Gorman’s class was learning all about toys that use electricity and created amazing electricity safety posters! Our writing this week was ‘If I were a Toy’, we took our inspiration from the Smyths toy advert to write our stories!
Remember the homework is on Seesaw and we are encouraging the children to use Sumdog at home! Please let us know if you have any issues logging on.
Enjoy your weekend. See you all on Monday!

Very Productive Week in P5
Last week was a very busy week in P5 – we designed our own pairs of odd socks to celebrate difference and anti-bullying week.
Everyone worked together to achieve all the different jobs in the garden area which is really starting to take shape – well done everyone.
We also had great fun during PE – some excellent hockey skills on display and fantastic sportsmanship.
P1 Learning
In literacy we learned about the letters ‘u’ and ‘d’ and practised identifying the middle vowel sounds in words. We also enjoyed making a sentence to match a picture.
In numeracy we used concrete materials (ice penguins) to create our own number sentences. We practised adding and subtracting numbers to find the total amount. We also enjoyed matching the magnetic numbers.
This week we celebrated book week! The theme was ‘Future’, we celebrated this by discussing what our future might look like and what we wanted to be when we grow up. We created a time capsule of our hopes and aspirations and buried this in a secret place in our playground area! We also listened to an author live read session by Julia Donaldson and enjoyed relaxing reading opportunities in our classroom.
This week was also anti-bullying week. We wore odd socks to school and created our own odd socks to celebrate that we are all different, unique and special. In writing we took the opportunity to create and write about ‘My Superhero’. We had some amazing superpowers!
Just a reminder that the homework is now on Seesaw. The children have also been set a challenge on Sumdog to complete. Any problems logging on- please let us know.
Enjoy your weekend and see you all on Monday!

Busy Bee’s in P6
Well what a busy week we have had with Book Week Scotland and Anti-bullying Week! That’s not even mentioning all our usual work too 😅
We have been excited about our new novel ‘Wonder’, creating a collaborative piece focusing on the positives we bring. We think it’s just WONDERful! #BookWeekScotland
We also got creative and wrote poems about bullying from the perspective of different people. Sending a clear message to the bullies out there. Here just a small selection-
Have a great week,
P6 & Miss Lynch
Persuasive writing to change the future for Book Week
Primary Four have been working hard on their persuasive writing recently (my sincere apologies to those of you now being ‘persuaded’ by these negotiating wizards).
Since the theme of Book Week was all about the ‘future’ we decided to write some letters to our favourite villains to persuade them of the benefit of changing their ways.
We really took our time setting out letters correctly and using emotive and powerful words to really tug on the villains’ heartstrings and get them to mend their ways.
P3 homework
Hello,
I have attached the homework for the week beginning 23rd of November. It is also available on Seesaw.
Thanks,
Miss Graham
Quick Quack Quentin needs P2’s help!
This week’s sound was qu so it felt like the perfect week to read one of my favourite stories, Quick Quack Quentin by Kes Gray. If you’re not familiar with the story, poor Quentin has a very quick quack. He has lost his a and can only say ‘qu ck’ so he borrows some ‘a’ sounds from other animals. However, they don’t want to share because their names sound a bit odd!
We took the vowels out of our names to see if we would like to help Quentin out…
In Beyond Number, we were using non-standard measures (our hands!) to measure items in the playground.
Why not try measuring some of the things you have at home?

Another week in P1!
Another fantastic week in Primary one!
We had great fun in PE! We were using balls and bean bags to throw at a target and then we counted up our points.
In science we learned about different materials and went on a discovery walk around our school to spot all the different materials in our environment.
We’ve enjoyed pretending to be shop keepers and customers and paying for items with the coins we have been learning about.
This week we were using our creative minds to write some fantastic imaginative stories about an amazing adventure. Some of us went to the moon, visited a princess in a castle and even met our favourite Avenger. What a great time we had on our adventures!
Look at our fantastic creations we made during our free play time, googly eyed creatures and shape patterns. We also created fantastic poopy crafts for remembrance day.
Miss Gormans class enjoyed going into the school library! We found loads of great books and found some of our favourites.
We learned about the letters ‘b’ and ‘h’.
