Primary 1 has been learning about money. We learned all of the coins and have been making money totals to 20 pence using different coins. We have used our rekenrek counting frames to work out change from 10p with Mrs Kerr’s help. Money takes a lot of practise to learn so we will be revisiting it throughout Primary 1.
We have been using collage to make the characters from our story “What the Ladybird Heard”.
We read the same story in Scots “Whit the Clockleddy Heard”. Comparing the stories we were able to work out what a “deuk in a dub” and a “hairy grumphie” were. Do you know?
Primary 1 has worked so hard to weave a new scarf for Hamish McHaggis. It took a huge team effort to complete it. We think it looks cosy!!!
Primary 1 enjoyed a nice relaxing session of yoga after a hard days work! The children are learning how to look after their body and mind. They are developing good skills for yoga.
Primary 4/5 have been learning to up-level their writing and make it even better. We all wrote a newspaper article last week to report the Apollo 11 moon landing. The teacher read every one and provided feedback to everyone. Mrs Cree pointed out things that she liked and things than could be improved upon.
The first thing we had to do was read over our original report. We then looked at the feedback from the teacher. As we were re-drafting, we were encouraged to make changes to our writing. Some of us even made changes that weren’t suggested by Mrs Cree.

Primary 1 did so well on their first attempt at sewing. We were all able to use our needles and threads to make our own patterns. Well done everyone!!!!
Primary 4/5 have been actively spelling this week. Our phoneme was ‘j’ and we know three different representations of that phoneme. We thought of lots of different words with the ‘j’ phoneme and sorted them into a phoneme chart.
Last week in P6M we started to self assess our learning using our wonder wall.
We have been sticking post it notes on our wonder wall to say what piece of learning stuck with us during the day or week.
Here are some of the things that have stuck with us:
Daisy: I learned how to do square numbers.
William: I learned about my maths patterns
Kayla: I learned how to double big numbers
Olivia: I learned about the Wallace Monument

As part of our Magic Castle topic we have all been making our own information booklets. We have been carrying out research about castles and we have the responsibility of deciding what we will include in our own books.
