Seesaw Primary 1- Primary 3

You will have recently received two Seesaw codes home:

Home Learning Code

Family Invite

The home learning code is for your child to upload their home learning or activity to share with their champion only.

The Family Invite allows you to link to the seesaw account and any adult to add comments to their child’s work either uploaded in class or from home.

You should have received both codes home, please let your child’s teacher know if this isn’t the case.

Just a reminder that Seesaw is a learning profile tool and shouldn’t be used to message teachers or discuss pupil’s absence/appointments for example. Please use the main school channels to discuss any issues or let the office know about absence/appointments.

Welcome Back Burns Clan!

Burns Clan have had lots of fun learning new things about their clan mates and new champion.
We have discussed our goals and ambitions for the year ahead and what we and our champion can do to support us in achieving these. We created a time capsule to record these and will open it up at the end of the year to see how far we have come. We also created a clan charter and discussed the ways we can ensure everyone feels safe, secure, and respected in our clan.
In week 2, we practiced our writing and public speaking skills as we wrote and shared our speeches for pupil council. We demonstrated our respect for our clan mates as we listened carefully and showed encouragement as they shared their speeches.
 We also learned about the festival Raksha Bandhan, we discussed the meaning of the festival and the importance of it. Our clan mates who participate in the festival also shared the ways they celebrate Raksha Bandhan with their families.
On Friday of week 2, we demonstrated fantastic teamwork as we combined our interests and imagination to build an airbase using Kapla.

Baird Clan are a Family

Over the last two weeks, Baird Clan have been using the book “Our Clan is a Family” as a context for our learning. We have discussed how the idea of our Clan being a family relates to our school value of belonging, and how we can demonstrate this around the school. While making our clan charter, we spoke about one of Miss Boden’s favourite sayings, “we are just like popcorn, our learning all pops at different times”. We used this quote as the basis for our clan charter.

 

We have also looked at the importance of resilience and working as a team. We started with a small team game where each team had to balance a hula-hoop on their fingers and get it to touch the floor. We soon realised without good communication this was extremely tricky! As a clan, we looked at some successful teams from this year’s Olympics, and discussed what made them a good team. We were surprised to see that many of the skills were ones we used in our own Clan team.
