P3A Learning

We were learning to order number to 100. We were given a card with a number on it and had to get ourselves in the correct order. Then we had to make our number using tools in the classroom. We came up with lots of different ways. Some of us laid counters out in twos and explained our strategy to everyone else. Jude had the number 22 so had two lines of 11. Eli had 15 so had 2 groups of 7 plus a single counter. Next everybody in the class tried their strategy.

We are continuing to learn to write a description. We watched a video about giraffes, then discussed it and thought of adjectives to help describe a giraffe. We used a planning sheet to write done the information. The next day we used the planning sheet to write our description.

Primary 3A Learning

We have been learning about nouns and adjectives. We worked together to come up with adjectives for the noun ‘apple’. Then we split into random partnerships and worked together to find adjectives for the nouns ‘car & dog’. We thought about our senses to help us come up with words. What did a car look like, sound like, smell like and if we were to touch it, what would it feel like?

Then we started learning about writing a description. To do this we read a passage and had to find all the nouns in it. We learned that a noun is a naming word for a people, place or thing. Next we used the same passage and highlighted all the adjectives. We thought of other describing words that could be used.

Learning in P2/1

Last week we were visited by a lady from The Dogs Trust.

‘We learned how to be safe around dogs’ Mia.

‘We should be quiet around dogs and if they have taken one of your socks or toys tell and adult. Be gentle, they don’t want cuddles, they want a wee stroke. Leave dogs alone when they are eating.’ Kayla.

‘We were seeing what kinds of buildings were in Main Street’ Mia.

‘We drew pictures of the buildings in Main Street. We made a pictogram to show the information.’ Alexus.


‘We were playing with the parachute in PE. We had to run underneath. We made a tent and sat underneath. We sat on it to hold it down.’ Fawn.

We had fun.

This week in P2

This week in P2 we have been busy creating for our East Calder project all about East Calder Main Street. We have been creating some of the businesses and houses you might see on the street. We have created leaflets all about what you might see on East Calder Main Street.  We were lucky to have Dog’s Trust in to speak with us about how to take care of dogs and keep them happy as well this week. It was great! 

This week in P2

We have been working hard on tally charts and data handling in maths and we have begun to look at creating our own bar charts. We have enjoyed looking at procedure texts in writing and creating our own. We have been working hard practising for our Easter assembly this week as well. It was also our last session with our music project leader, Dave, we were very sad to see him go but we loved having him at ECPS for our music sessions this term.

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.
