Weekly Update From Primary 4

Leave a comment

We have had a very busy week in Primary 4.

On Monday, we had a visit from the Scottish SPCA and we really enjoyed our workshop on Food and Farming and learning about how to protect and look after animals in Scotland.

We had our first Roots of Empathy session with Mrs Allardyce on Wednesday and we can’t wait until baby Archie comes in next week! 🙂

Here are some of the other things we enjoyed and our class reflections on the week:

“I really enjoyed making our emoji themed class charter” -Carla

“This week we started our Roots of Empathy with Primary 3s as well and it was really fun” -Jaymee-Leigh

“I enjoyed designing our class canvas and getting to use paint to put our handprints on it” -Alex

“I enjoyed guessing how much baby Archie weighed and guessing how big he will be next week” -Michael

“I liked doing Number Talks with my new class” -Daniel

“I loved designing my own emoji” -Aiden

“I enjoyed French and Music with Mrs Ewing” -Emma

“I loved doing P.E with Mrs Warden and Miss Eunson” -Rachel

“I liked Emma’s magic show” -Jack

Welcome P7

Leave a comment

Here we are at the end of the first week already! It has been a delight to welcome the new P7’s back to school. The children and I have all worked together before, some as recently as last year and others a couple of years ago. It is good to have the class united again, and to see how much they have all grown! I am excited to be working with them all, and looking forward to the challenges we will face together on our learning adventure!

As P7, the children will have more responsibilites and I am sure they are going to be fabulous role models for the rest of the school. The extra responsibilities will also include their own learning journey and their attitude to it. We are on this journey together and together we will make decisions that will determine and shape the paths we take. Our first decision was deciding together what our first Topic was going to be. It had to be focused on People in the Past, and the children shared ideas on what they would like to learn more about. After much discussion, and a vote, our first topic will be …”The Ancient Greeks”.

I am still working on our timetable, but I can let you know that our Gym Times are:                                              Wednesday 8.45 – 9.45 with Mrs Warden; and  Friday 9.30 – 10.30 with Mr Tennant.                                          As our gym time on Wednesday is first thing straight after the bell, it would be helpful if the children came into school on that day, already wearing their gym kit and ready to go as soon as the bell goes.

The children will also be working with Mrs Ewing on a Thursday, for Music and French.

I am  really excited  about the coming year and I am sure that with hard work and the right attitude, we will achieve great things together!  P7 rule!!!!

P6/5 Welcome Back

Leave a comment

We are back and can’t believe our first week is over already! Welcome back every from P6/5!

We have had a busy week settling back into school and especially in our new classroom within the upper school.

This week we have been doing lots of things to get to know one another again. Here are some of our highlights:

· Hannah – we are doing Charlotte’s Web as a short topic for these first few weeks so have been hearing the story and doing some tasks relating to this story.

· Alfie – we started working on our Class Charter and this is going to be Emoji themed!

· Eve – we met our teachers this year who are Mrs Rankin and Mrs Ewing who will take us on Wednesday and for music and French on Thursday afternoons.

· Brogan – we completed the Bucket Filler which you fill up with happiness and positive things.

· Charley – we agreed on our group names and made signs and logos for these. Our group names are: Gangsta Gloop, Wise Wonkas and Bucket Billionaires.

· Callum – we made selfies of ourselves and a fact-file about ourselves.

· Keris / Leah – we had a tour of our classroom so that we know where everything we need is.

PE will be on a Monday and Wed so we need to bring gym kits on the these days.

Have a good weekend!

A Super Start to Primary 2/1…

Leave a comment

A huge welcome and well done to all of our fantastic P1 pupils who joined our school on Tuesday.  They have made a confident start to primary school and are already picking up the routines of school life.  I have to say however, that for most of the boys and girls, lunchtime is the favourite part of the day so far!  Learning appears to make them very hungry! 🙂

Our P2 girls in the class are continuing to be fantastic role models for our younger pupils! Well done girls!

Please note that our PE days will be on a Tuesday with Mrs Warden and on a Friday with Mr Tennant.  The boys and girls require a suitable gym kit consisting of shorts and a T-Shirt, and suitable gym shoes/trainers.  No jewellery should be worn.  I am more than happy for the children to leave their gym kit on their peg in the cloakroom so that it is always in school should they need it.

Keep your eyes peeled on our school Blog for further updates from the P2/1 class.
