This Week in P3/2

Literacy

During reading this week, we were developing our questioning skills. We took notes during our class novel to help us construct a question. When taking notes, we only wrote the important parts and did not write in sentences. Using our notes, we constructed a question and gave it a friend to answer.

Think week, we continued to develop our explanation writing skills. We had to explain the life cycle of a frog. It is very important that the title informs the reader of the content.

“We were writing explanation sequences of the life cycle of a frog” S.C.

“At the sequence explanation part we have to use the words, first, next and then.”  S-L.W.

 

Maths

This week, we finished our times table topic. We were using the knowledge we have developed through this topic to help us tackle multiplication word problems. These can be challenging as we need to use our problem solving skills to calculate the answer.

“I have been using the pop its to calculate the answer. If it’s 2 x 2 I pop 2 along the way and I pop 2 down the way and then count the total.” B.P.

We were linking our multiplication to our word of work topic. In P3/2 we created our own bakery. We were given an equation and had to make cakes and add candles to the cakes to solve the equations.

“We used our times tables when working in the bakery. We had to put the candles in the cakes and find the total.” K.M.

Health and Wellbeing

For our topic of relationships we were looking at friendships. We had to identify the traits we look for in a friend and had to think about why these traits are important. During our class discussion, we identified that a lot of the traits we look for in a friend were also our school values.

During P.E., we were developing our football skills. We had to gain control of the ball when dribbling. We were also passing the ball to our team mates. This involved us adjusting our technique depending on where our team mates were.

P6/5 have been learning about maths a lot this week.

Maths

For the maths we have done factors of numbers. We have also been trying to work out the area of some shapes.

Literacy

For this week we have been doing explanation writing on word and our jotters. We have also done some presentations on games and IPhone more things like that. We also done some book covers to help us with our assessment skills.

Science

We have been doing some outdoor learning with Miss Dobbie and learning what plants need to grow. We have also learnt a new word called biodiversity that means the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat.

 

P7/6 14th May 2021

IDL-

We have been learning how tides happen.  We found out that tides are created by the moon’s gravitational pull.

Numracy- We have been learning how to turn decimals into percentage.  We do this by multiplying the existing decimal number by 100.

Literacy- We practiced our spelling words.  We read our class novel and we discussed how the events were similar to our own.

Writing- We also learnt to write and explanation text.

HWB- We discussed what we look for from a friend.  We also talked about compromise.

Ancient Egypt comes to P4/3!

We continue to explore our topic, Ancient Egyptians. Following last week’s virtual lesson with Mrs Liddell, we were lucky enough to have a delivery of artefacts from Egyptian times. This was so interesting as it enabled us to look closely at the items and learn more about them. A big thank to Mrs Liddell for enabling us to do so.

Numeracy

We continue to develop our understanding of multiplication. Most children can apply their knowledge in a range of ways, including describing arrays of numbers. Have a look at some of our examples:
