Deans Primary School Blog

Thank you to all the parents/ guardians and most especially to all the P7/6 pupils.  You have all been amazing and I could not be more proud of all your achievements this session!  You have all shown resilience and determination!  Well done!

As a a class, we had to say goodbye to our P7 peers.  It had been a pleasure to be working and learning alongside you! We wish you good luck and an amazing time in High school.

I hope you have  a well deserved summer holiday! Take care everyone and stay safe 🙂

It has been a brilliant year in P2 this year. Despite all of the restrictions COVID has imposed, we have had such fun and rich learning experiences throughout the year. I would like to thank each and every one of the children, parents, carers and staff who have all contributed to making this year so fantastic. I would also like to say a huge thank you for all of your kind and generous gifts.

I hope everyone has a safe and restful holiday, and I hope to see you all around in the new school year!

This is our last week of Primary 4 – we are sad to be leaving P4 behind, but we are excited about moving onto Primary 5 and discovering the new challenges it will bring!

We have enjoyed completing some Summer activities this week such as creating a Summer scene, making a list of things we would like to do over the holidays, and writing about the things we have liked about this year.

We have written a ‘message in a bottle’ for our P5 teacher to tell them a little bit about ourselves. It will be interesting for Mrs Hillan to see if any of our likes and dislikes have changed over the past year for those of us still in her class.

We rounded up our Egyptians topic by finishing off our jewellery and having a little sum up of all we have learned, here are some of our points:

Sophie C – ‘After people die, there’s a chance that they can still do the toilet!’

Gracie – ‘When they are mummified they put masks on their coffins so they know who they are.’

Shay – ‘They use a hook to take their brain out.’

Hadiyaah – ‘Scarabs are special to the Egyptians.’

Lewis -‘Egyptians believed that cats were protective.’

Emily – ‘If you were given trading something valuable for food then you would get a lot of food.’

Caelan – ‘The Egyptians believed that their brains were in their hearts.’

Ariah – ‘The eye symbol is called the ‘Eye of Horus’.’

Olivia – ‘They brought their cats to work with them.’

Derry – ‘The scarab beetle died at night and was reborn in the morning.’

Ryley – ‘The Egyptians would do the toilet as well as bathe in the River Nile.’

Maisy – ‘There were animals and bits of animals in the river and they still swam in it.’

Kayleigh – ‘They thought your thoughts came from your heart.’

Chloe – ‘Egyptians don’t have money so they trade for what they want.’

Summer – ‘They didn’t wear clothes until they were 5 years old.’

Holly – ‘Kids drank beer!’

 

We finished off our week with Mrs Hillan with a treat of watching the original movie of ‘The Witches’ after finishing our class novel.

 

Primary 4 and Mrs Hillan would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Summer holiday! Have a wonderful time!!

Literacy

This week in reading, we have been continuing to develop our reciprocal reading skills. During our class novel ‘Charlotte’s Web’, we were stopping at various points in the novel to made predictions. We had to provide evidence to support our predictions. We also creates questions about the chapter to ask to our friends.

 

This week in writing, we were continuing to develop our narrative writing skills. We had to read our feedback from last week and apply it to this week’s written piece. We then created a plan for our stories ensuring that our writing followed an appropriate structure.

Maths

In maths this week, we continued to learn about fractions. We were learning about thirds, sixths and eighths. We have been drawing shapes and colouring a given fraction. We linked our fractions to our world our work topic as we were working in a pizza parlour. The customer would write the fraction of pizza they would like to buy and the chef would need to cut the pizza into the correct fraction.

Numeracy- We did Fibonacci Sequence and Number sequences

E.g.- 1,1,2,3,5,8

Literacy- We did a spelling test Term 3 And dictation

We did foreshortening,  emphasizing our hands and feet for art.

For P.E we did football And rounders without the bat and ball but we used our football.
