Money Week
Next week is Money Week and the Nursery team has been busy planning activities for the children to use money in their play, explore different ways to sort coins and notes and explore paying amounts in money play. We are setting the children a challenge to ‘Earn a penny’ through completing a few simple jobs at home. Further information will be handed out on Monday 7th of October.
Nursery Topic – Sun, Moon and Stars
We have been enjoying playing in our space ship and dressing up as austraunouts!
We have been using 2d and 3d shapes to build and draw rockets.
We loved experimenting with baking soda and vinegar to launch a rocket in the garden.
We made a edible rocket using tomatoes, peppers, cheese and toast.
I would like to remind all parents and carers that it is our ‘Meet the teacher’ open night on Wednesday 2nd of October from 3pm- 4pm. We would like to show you what we have been saying, making and doing in nursery
This week we have been learning about the Battle of Bannockburn. We have wrote newspaper reports and researched what happened.
We were learning about weapons used in The Battle of Bannockburn and made large English and Scottish sheilds.
In maths we have been focussing on our 6, 4 and 3 times tables, we are improving our confidence.
Another busy week in primary 3! We are just loving our class topic! This week we designed our very own Wonka factories using black pen to draw it. We also deisgned and made our own sweets out of clay! In maths we have been working very hard on counting on and back in 5s and 10s! We are also trying very hard to beat our score in Big Maths, some of us have even got 40/40! We are looking forward to another busy week next week!
This week Primary 5 have been concentrating on our times tables, we have learnt that there are patterns within the tinmes tables. Our topic for this term is The Scottish wars of Independence, we have been learning about important figures in Scottish History and last week created our own life sized replicas. This week we have been learning about important battles such as the Battle of Bannockburn. We have enjoyed learning French with Mrs Nolan and look forward to the European day of Languages.
A short but busy week in primary 3! We have been learning more about symmetry and this week we created symmetrical pictures using paints! We also had so much fun with our topic this week where we got to design our very own sweet – we can’t wait to make them with clay next week! We also looked at ‘World Peace Day’ and talked about what peace means to us – we had some very good discussions on it! Tooday is also Genes for Jeans day! We have all came in our jeans and brought a donation for this worth while cause!
We have been very busy in school completing RRSA work! Here is an update of what we have been doing!
In school we have been very busy making our classroom charters that display rights that we think are important.
We have also been learning about special articles like Article 19- ‘All children have the right to be protected from any harm.’ We think this is very important.
Each class have been raising money for peanut paste, just £22.50 can supply a starving child for one month with peanut paste.
We will also be puting up playground charters to be safe in the playground and respect other peoples rights. We have been inventing the perfect teacher in our school topic ‘Every child needs a Teacher’ to raise awareness that some children in the world don’t have a teacher.
Finally we need parents to help us plan and organise fundraising events! Soon there will be a sheet in the school where you can sign up to help! The RRSA club will be having an assembly soon.
We will keep you posted with more updates.
Primary seven have settled in and been working especially on the Leavenseat Acorn Awards. They have also been creating Zentangles Hearts pattern. They have also logged in to Mathletics which is great fun.
It has been a busy week in primary 6 with lots going on!
We started forest school this week although we were in class. We made dream-catchers!
