This week we have been working on our editing skills. We were given a sentence with lots of mistakes and had to work with our partner to correct it. There were missing capital letters, full stops and lots of spellings to correct. It made us really think. Hopefully this will help us edit our own writing.
We were fortunate enough to have a visit from some members of P7A today. They were sharing their learning and experiences of using a Profile folder on One Note. A profile is a snapshot of a young person’s best achievements at a given point in time. The content of the profile is decided by the young person following a conversation with their teacher or key adult. This is a great opportunity for the class to showcase their achievements and work they are proud of. The class are taking real ownership of the profiling process by choosing not only what they incude in the folder but also when. Each piece of work will be labelled with an explanation to why they have chosen a particular piece of work. The profile is divided into 4 sections
The profile will be populated termly
Pupils from primary 5, 6 and 7 took part in a fun but competitive Christmas indoor curling competition. There were 14 teams participating in the Primary 7 event!
All of the pupils played some excellent curling with great sportsmanship. There were lots of successful takeouts, guards, tap ins and draws being thrown!
Congratulations to our P5, 6 and 7 winning teams!
We have had a super week with our parties. We had a great time playing games and dancing. P1s also had a special visitor to their party!
We’ve also been very creative with our Christmas craft wreaths. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.
The Primary 1s had a great time at their Christmas party with games and dances. We also had an extra special surprise when Santa visited to give us all a present!
It has been a very exciting week in school!
We loved the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk and took part in lots of activities in class. We even built our own beanstalk!
We have been busy practising our Nativity and trying on our costumes too!
Our new sound this week was ‘w’ and we have been learning to copy patterns, play pattern games and have started making our own patterns.
On Monday please return all reading books and book bags. Also please send in clothes as requested for the nativity.
Many thanks
This week we have been learning about the value of numbers. We used the 100 square on the smart board and had to click on the correct number. If the number had 5 tens and 3 ones we would click on 53. Once we were confident in this we moved onto numbers to 1000. For this we used the place value flip chart. If the number had 3 hundreds, 4 tens and 3 ones we had to make the chart read 348. We are going to keep working on this next week.
The children (and staff!!) have been getting ready for Christmas. Mr Fazakerley made an amazing Christmas tree for the Hive which the children helped to decorate.
We have also designed our own Christmas jumpers whilst wearing our Christmas jumpers! We wrote letters to Santa and made Christmas pictures using different 2d shape. Super learning and fun!
