Meldrum Primary School Blog

An amazing week here at Meldrum PS this week.  P7 had a fabulous time at PGL Dalguise and came back full of enthusiasm and chat about their time away!  Instructors at the camp were impressed with the attitude and determination of our young people who rose to the challenges of the activities.  Well done P7!

This morning, we had our P2 assembly for parents and carers.  The children showcased some of their learning about nocturnal animals and loved taking part in some singing and dancing for the audience.  Great job P2!

We have moved our plants out of the classroom ‘Nursery’ and they are now on their own in the Greenhouse in the playground. We are still checking on them several times a day!!

Great Green – ‘What went well’

 We have been using our skills in explanation and procedural writing to write explanations for ‘How plants grow’ and ‘How to plant a seed’.
 Using our fantastic knowledge of food groups, we completed a menu by filling in the missing food item in order to make it a balanced meal.
Again, the class were brilliant at this.

Think Pink – ‘Even better if’

 We use our knowledge of fractions when working with percentages %
 We apply our writing skills to create a set of rules for a game or a recipe for our fruit kebabs.

Lead Learners.

Our lead learners in the last week of term did a great job. Thank you – Darcey and Stirling

This week primary 3 have been learning about volume and capacity and we were able to use the water trays outside in the sunshine. We have also learned new vocabulary for containers, such as, beakers, syringes, measuring jugs and funnels.

Great Green

The pupils are beginning to show understanding of procedure writing using sub-headings and bullets points.

Think Pink

To always check the scale during measuring as they do not always go up in 1s!

This weeks Lead Learners are Hiteesha and Aila!

Lots of outdoor activities going on in P4 this week.

Great Green (things that are going well)

We did some fabulous writing to explain the lifecycle of a butterfly.

We took the metre sticks, trundle wheels and measuring tapes outside to find the length, height and width of different items in the playground.

Think Pink (things that were a bit tricky)

We are learning to use speech marks in our work and will continue to practise.

This week’s Lead Learners are Struan and Josh who always remember to use good manners. Well done!
