Outdoor Learning in Primary 2
In Primary 2M and 2W we have been learning how to subtract. We have been using lots of different methods to help us do this. Yesterday we decided to take our subtraction outdoors and see how we could use the environment to help us show our learning. We had lots of fun using our number skills.
It was a chilly morning so we had to make sure we were wrapped up. We even managed to use natural materials and the weather to help us create our own subtraction sums!
P4S Anti-bullying week
Today we came into school wearing odd socks. We raised money for charity.
We thought about what bullying is and how it can make other people feel.
P5/4C Odd Socks Day
P5/4C all turned out in their odd socks today to support the Anti-Bullying Alliance; they also created their own pairs of mismatched socks. A big thank you to you all for your generous donations to this very worthwhile cause.
East Calder Swim Team Success!
A huge well done to the P6 and P7 pupils who represented our school in a recent swim meet. Their relay team came first! A fantastic achievement. We are all so proud of you and your commitment to your swimming and our school. Well done!
P5B Respect Remembrance Day
Today is Remembrance Day and in P5B we showed our respects by taking part in a few activities. The whole school took part in the 2 minute silence, to pay our thoughts and respects to those brave soldiers who fought in the war and to their families who lost loved ones.
Our reading comprehension focused on Remembrance Day and asked us lots of questions about why this day is so important, why do we wear poppies etc.
Some of us enjoyed sharing stories about relatives who fought in the war.
In the afternoon, we made poppy charcoal drawings which look very effective. The children will be able to take these home tomorrow.
P4/3M
We have been learning about firework safety this week. One of our P4’s created a sparkling example of a 3D firework shown below.
P3-4 Lego Club
We had great fun completing our challenges today. We were trying to build houses and street scenes. One had a bank which had eight levels of security while another house came with a pond in it’s garden!
Phonics in P2M
We have had a very busy week in Primary 2M. We have learned more about pirates, designing our own pirate flag for Captain Abigail and finding a real pirate flag in our class. In Phonics, we were excited to use our new overlays and we used our Say, Make, Write boards to help us read, make and write our words.
