P6/7

It was another busy and successful week in Primary 6/7.

Literacy- we learnt how to make character profile, began our literature circles and we learnt how to proofread text.

Numeracy- We have been  learning to divide decimals.

Expressive art- We create patterns inspired by Inca art.  We use water colour as our medium. We also enjoyed performing in front of an audience as we engaged in drama lessons.

IDL- We have written scripts and created presentations about  Mach Picchu in preparation for our upcoming assembly.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

P5 enjoy Drama and World Book Day

Drama

On Thursday morning we had a drama workshop.

 

Maia – I enjoyed it because we got to be pirates and it was funny when we were scared.

Shantelle – It was fun, exciting and very funny.

Lacey – Everyone was scared of me and Mason.

Monika – The very last bit was funny because Mason and Lacey got scared and they put their knees together.

WORLD BOOK DAY

During the day we had lots of opportunities to read quietly. In the afternoon we went to visit P3/4 and discussed our favourite books. Then we listened to our buddy read their book aloud. We were very impressed with their reading!

 

Literacy

In group reading this week we practised answering ‘HOT’ questions – higher order thinking. An example of this type of question would be : ‘What words and phrases has the author used to show how the character is feeling?’ Some children were lucky enough to work with Mrs Stewart this week!

We practised improving our cursive style in handwriting.

In spelling we practised adding ‘ing’ to words. Most words you just add ‘ing’ but some words have special rules!

Numeracy

We learnt how to change fractions into decimals. Initially we practised converting tenths then we moved onto changing hundredths.

In order to compare the decimals we practised placing them on a number line.

In order to apply what we had learnt we used the laptops to play decimal games.

Princess – I enjoyed learning about decimals.

Mohamad – I enjoyed maths because it was challenging.

Aleena – I learnt how to change a fraction into a decimal.

More us have beaten our scores on ‘Big Maths’ this week.

P.E.

We played an unusual game this week. In order to score each team had two opposite corners of the room with goals in. It was a little bit confusing. Some of us scored lots of own goals!

On Thursday we had to do P.E. in the classroom and so we did a mixture of fitness and zumba activities. Liam led the dancing and we were very impressed. It was great fun!

Art

This week we have started to learn about tone. Tone means darkness or lightness of colour. We looked at and discussed a picture by Edward Hopper called Nighthawks, which demonstrates tonal contrast. We practised using tone to create 3d objects then we used red and white paints to create a gradual tonal strip. Mixing white to a colour creates a tint.

Samuel – I learnt about shading.

Georgie – I enjoyed painting from darkest to lightest.

Eva – I learnt how to lean on the pencil to make it dark.

Deans Den celebrate World Book Day!!

It has been another successful and busy week in Deans Den. We continue to support and encourage each other to follow our group charter and our focus this week has been to work on our listening skills!

As part of World Book Day, all of the children dressed in their pyjamas and brought a book from home to enjoy with others. We also designed our own bookmarks and learned when to use them. The children are becoming more confident to talk about  stories, authors and making predictions about what will happen next. Well done boys and girls, keep up the good work!!

Primary 2 this week

We have had another busy week in P2!

World Book Day

Thursday was World Book Day! We had the chance to come to school in our pyjamas and bring our favourite book and teddy. Even Iron Man came to visit us! We really enjoyed sharing our books with our friends throughout the day.

At the end of the day, we had the chance to pair up with Primary 4 and share our stories with them. We loved reading each others book and spending time with new people. We even made some new friends!

Maths

We have been learning about money.

Lexie: “Money helps people to pay for things, you need to know how much money to use.”

Mia: “We have a shop in class with food that’s labelled with different prices and we need to get some money to pay for the food.”

Topic

We made a Coat of Arms this week.

Levente: “We drew our favourite things to show we are all different.”

Sarah-Louise: “People used a Coat of Arms to protect themselves so they knew who their enemies were.”

We also had a reply from Stirling Castle about our letters that we sent. We cannot wait to go on our trip next week!

Science

We have been learning about materials.

Ethan: “We had 4 pieces of paper each and used a crayon to do rubbings against different materials.”

Brendan: “Each piece of paper was different because we rubbed it on different materials.”

Particiaption Friday

Today was Participation Friday. During this session, we each designed a coaster to be produced and then sold at the Spring Fayre. Our coasters all feature a message of kindness, and we have been learning how this relates to our school value of nurture. Keep an eye out at the fayre for our fantastic work!
