A busy week in P3 and P3/2

Leave a comment

This week we have been very busy learning lots of different things.  Keep reading to find out more about our learning.  

In Literacy, we have been writing predictions about a story of a girl who lives in a clock tower.  We had to predict who was in the tower, why they were in the tower and what would happen.  This week we have been continuing to learn to our cursive script and have been writing letters e and f.  F was very tricky.  We have been reading lots of different books this week and thinking about our favourite characters and parts of the story.

In Numeracy, we have been continuing to learn to about place value.  We have been learning how to make the biggest and smallest number.  We have tried lots of different activities.

In RERC, we have been learning about Noah’s Arc.  We know that God made promises to Noah.  We have started to create a display for the area about the promises we wish to make to God.

In our topic, we learned about the names of all the different climate zones.  We looked at where all the different climate zones are in the world.  We know that we live in a Temperate climate zone which means we get warmer summers and colder winters. We found where we live on a map.

In HWB, we thought about how to make ourselves feel better.  Some ideas included – going for a walk, playing with our favourite toys, listening to music and watching a film.

In Music, with Mrs Nicoll we have been learning a song and with beaters we have been keeping the rhythm.

In P.E, we were learning ball skills.  We have been using the basketballs. We played different games.  We have also completed the daily mile.

In Spanish, we have been learning some classroom instructions.  We also do our register in Spanish.

Another busy week for us.

Primary 4’s weekly update

Leave a comment

 

This week Primary 4 have been busy learning lots of things on Teams. In Literacy they have been working on homophones (there, their and they’re) and practised to using adjectives, connectives and different openers to upgrade sentences. They did such a good job with this task that their teachers had a really hard time choosing the top 3 from each class! They also made some wonderful posters, SWAYs and PowerPoints describing the positive qualities of someone they admire. It was lovely to read all the nice things they had to say about their mums, dads, aunties. In Maths P4 have been working on the 6 times table and learned to use the words likely, unlikely and impossible to talk about probability and chance, for example, It is likely that it will rain tomorrow. Some of our P4s also enjoyed learning about Spanish painter Picasso and made beautiful abstract masks.

Well done Primary 4!

Primary 2 have had another busy week completing lots of tasks from their home learning grids. Here are some of the activities we have been doing:

  • We created a character description about an Orge using lots of different adjectives.
  • In Maths, we were learning about rounding to the nearest 10 and 100. We completed a Sumdog Challenge to help us practise rounding along with other fun activities.
  • We were revising our numbers in Spanish from 1 to 20 using songs on YouTube.
  • Having a growth mindset is very important. We watched videos about the importance of having a growth mindset and then discussed what we learned with an adult.
  • We completed a ‘What is your name?’ workout. We had to do a different exercise for each letter of our name.
  • As part of our Living Things Topic, we learned about food chains and drew an example of a food chain in our jotters.
  • We also learned about the different parts of a plant. These are petals, stem, leaf and roots.

Here is what we have been up to this week…

In literacy, we have been revising sounds that we have learned so far using pyramid writing.

We were upskilling our sentences by trying to add WOW words to them and writing a letter to our teacher about what we have been doing during lockdown.

We also completed a book review on one of our favourite books from home.

In Maths, we have been practising subtraction using different materials we found at home e.g. pasta, pencils, blocks. We also completed a subtraction worksheet and played games online.

To develop our Spanish we used videos from YouTube to remind us how to say the colours, numbers and months of the year.

For science, we continued to learn about Forces. We have been exploring different objects that we can push and pull at home and at school.

In Art, we were learning to use textures by finding different materials at home e.g. wool, string, pasta, buttons, feathers etc. to create a picture.

We continued to develop our fitness by completing a Body Coach workout on YouTube.

We reflected with our families about why we should be thankful to God and wrote down 3 things we were thankful for. We also said our own prayers of thanks to God.

International Languages Day 2015

Leave a comment

Primaries 2 and 2/1 had a fantastic day on Friday. We celebrated International Languages Day, with a focus on Spanish, as we are learning this language in our school. We were lucky enough to have a visit from P5b, who taught us the ‘Hokey Cokey’ in Spanish! Primary 2 sang their Spanish number song to the nursery boys and girls and Primary 2/1 sang their number song to Primary 5b. We were FANTASTICO! 🙂

Meanwhile, the super Primary 1 boys and girls were taking part in their Macmillan coffee morning. A huge well done to boys, girls, mums and dads for raising money for this great cause.

We are going to be learning some Spanish this year, very exciting !

So far, we have been practising saying ‘Good Morning’, ‘Good Afternoon’, ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’.  Every morning we ‘Go on a plane to Spain ‘ and Mrs Macdonald says the register in Spanish.  We are becoming very good already.  Santiago is very good at speaking Spanish so he will be helping us too.

Here are some of the Spanish words that we know : 

Buenos días - Good morning.
Buenas tardes - Good afternoon.

Hola - Hello.

Adiós - Goodbye.
