P4/3 Create Flying Santas and More Digital Learning

 

This week we have had a revision of simple fractions.
We had fun using games – both hand’s on and online.

We were learning about St Andrew on St Andrew’s day.  We designed our own tartans online.  We even managed to save our designs on Word, and then upload our documents onto our class team.

We have also been practising our keyboard skills. As we become more familiar with the keys, we are getting faster at logging into different websites and apps.

We have been learning to write programs to run on the computer using block coding. We had great fun coding Santa to fly across the screen.

You can see some videos of our flying Santas, and more of our digital learning on our Twitter page @MrsBuntinICT

P4/3 Halloween Party

P4/3 had a great time in class with Halloween themed fun on Friday. Everyone was dressed up and the class was decorated. We wrote instructions to make a witches brew, then we had a Halloween maths problem to solve.  After that, we had Halloween party bags full of treats and we played Halloween themed games including dooking for apples, Halloween twister, pin the scar on Frankie and Halloween bingo. Well done everyone for joining in!

How to Upload Your Work onto Teams

For the classes who are using Teams for their online learning, it is important to upload your work into your own folder.  Your teacher will be able to see your progress and give you feedback.

If you are unsure how to upload your work onto Teams, here is a simple ‘how to’ guide.

 

Uploading Work to Teams for Pupils

If you are still having problems, please contact the school.

Welcome Back

Welcome back to the new term.  Most pupils are working from home for now.

P1-P4/3 will receive learning experiences shared through Seesaw, which children have access to using the Seesaw App.  Children are encouraged over the next two weeks to work through the activities in their pack, take photographs of their learning and share on Seesaw.

P4-P7 will use Microsoft 0365 Team, which can be accessed through their Glow account. Information for parents on how their child uses Teams is available on the following link: bit.ly/wlglowguide

Nursery children should continue to access our Nursery Blog where there will be daily updates with lots of exciting learning activities. Nursery parents/carers can also collect a PEEP Learning at home pack from the school office.

If your child has any difficulty accessing Teams, please contact the school where we will be happy to help you.

A Digital Nativity

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, our Nativity production this year looks very different.  All classes in the school have been involved in creating a stop frame animation of The Christmas Story.

The story was divided into scenes, with each class being responsible for a scene.  Pupils made the scenery and props, and set up the scene for their class.  Everyone in the class was involved in helping to animate their class scene, and pupils were able to work in small groups at a safe distance.

The stop frame animation involved positioning the characters in the scene, taking a photo, then moving the characters a very small distance.  Another photo taken, another tiny movement made, another photo taken, and this was repeated over 100 times for each scene.  When all the pictures are sequenced and viewed one after another, the characters appear to move by themselves.

There has been a huge amount of work from the pupils involved in creating this year’s Nativity – well done everyone.
We all hope that you enjoy watching it.

The last week of P3 for 2019

This has been a very exciting week for P3.

We made Christmas trees (Erin).  We have been writing letters on stockings to Santa ( Kayleigh).  We have made Christmas cards (Weronika).  We made Christmas wreaths (Holly).

Our new furniture arrived – we unpacked it, looked at the instructions and we all helped to build it.  We think it is amazing.  (Summer)

We had a great time at our Christmas Party.  We all dressed up in our party clothes, we played games, we saw Santa and then we had some party food.  (Maisy)

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas, and we look forward to 2020.

🎄 P3 get ready for Christmas 🎄

We are learning to take photos independently on the ipad.  We had great fun taking photos of our friends in our Christmas photo booth.

We have been practising our cutting and folding skills when we were making our Christmas Village.  It was quite challenging, but it looks lovely.

We had our Christmas Lunch on Tuesday – we all had a fabulous time!

Numeracy and Maths
We are continuing to learn about place value and we are working on thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.  We are also working on money –  adding up coins and calculating change.

We had a very competitive Roll-a-Reindeer Tournament.  After we had a practise run where we learned how to play the game, we got organised into groups for the heats.  We had great fun.  Maison and Matthew made it to the final!
