Primary 4/5

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.

Super sewing in Primary 1

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!!!!

Active Spelling in p4/5

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.

Wonder Wall

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

Castles

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.

Bloggers

Primary 6W have their own blogging wall. We are using the Notifications section to make suggestions about what we want to include on the school blog. We have also created profiles of ourselves so that visitors to our class can get to know us a bit better.

The Magic Castle

Primary 6W have started to transform their classroom into a castle. We have made wooden panels for the walls and created shields for our groups. We have also started to build different objects for the castle. Keep looking out for updates on our progress.
