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,

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.
