Celebrating Creativity

It has been a creative first term, P7A have continued to share their ideas and show inquisitiveness throughout the term -across all curricular areas.

Here is a snapshot of us in action. We have created many dynamic and informative CapCuts to showcase our learning; we even decided to make a working numeracy wall, a place where we can upload our digital learning and we can easily access this through a QR code.

The pupils have been building their skills throughout the term, working on team work and communication, this was demonstrated well through their innovative work in coding; using Micro:bits and Scratch.

Primary 1

This week in literacy Primary 1 have been learning two new sounds; e and h. We have been practising sounding out and blending to read small words too.

In numeracy we have been learning all about number 10. What it looks like in tally marks, in a 10 frame and finding it on a number track.

We have also been learning about how important electricity is. We drew pictures about how we use electricity everyday and have been learning how to stay safe around electricity.

We met with our buddies in their classroom today and had great fun together making models with playdough.

P3a Creativity

This week we were given a black dot on paper and had to use our creativity to draw a picture using it. We came up with lots of different ways.

Primary 2- Food chains and The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

This week primary two learned about the life cycle of a butterfly. We learned about the four stages which you will see in an excellent example below. We also learned about food chains. We created our own food chains using toy animals and whiteboards. Hope you all enjoy your October break 😀.
