Primary 1

This week in P1 we have been learning our new sound ee and revising ch,sh and th. Thank you to everyone who presented a talk about their favourite toy, what a variety of toys!

In Maths, we have been using our playdough to help learn about halves and quarters.

As it was Science Week, we took part in a curly wurly challenge. It was great fun and very messy. We were very surprised at how long they could stretch.

You may have noticed our daffodils on the windowsills. We added food colouring to the water to show how a plant sucks water up through its stem. Look at the petals!

We look forward to meeting you next week for Parent Consultations.

 

This week in P2

This week in P2 we took part in science week and did the curly wurly challenge. We had to work in teams to try and stretch the curly wurly as much as possible and then measure it to gather our results. We have been looking at tally marks and graphs in numeracy this week and created our own data. It has been great to see that during the pupils play they have been working on numeracy and maths skills as well. Lots of exciting things happening in P2 before the Easter holidays.

P3 Learning

Last week we were tested on our hardest table. A lot of us then moved onto a new times table. We wrote all the arrays in our jotters. Today we worked with someone who was on the same times table as us and tested each other on making arrays for different calculations. We then challenged each other on a really hard times table.

We have been learning how to place fractions on a number line. We working in small groups and had to put different fractions on the number line correctly. We started with 0 – 1 and place 1/2 where it should be and then tried with quarters. Some of us were challenged to work in fifths!!

We took part in a Science Week Challenge set by Mrs Beattie.  We were to try to stretch a Curly Wurly as far as we could.  We worked in groups and first measured the size of the chocolate bar.  Then we discussed how we were going to stretch it and what forces we would use.  We predicted what our outcome would be.  Then we set to work.  We had 8 minutes to stretch the Curly Wurly as far as we could.  We then measured it and recorded our answers.  One group managed to reach 120cm!!!

P7/6 Sky Academy

P7/6 had the opportunity to go to Sky Academy and create our own news story all about our society. We decided to discuss how litter is impacting our society as this links well to our Ethical Living topic this term.

We had to work to Sky Academy’s 3 skills; collaboration, communication and creativity. We enjoyed using those skills and are very proud of our final video!
