We had an incredible time today at The Sky Up Studios. We worked on our script writing skills before attending and it definitely paid off. In our studio groups, we had assigned job roles and everyone worked well as a team. The Sky staff reminded us of the skills we were developing throughout the process, it was a great learning experience for everyone involved.
Have a look at some of the ‘behind the scenes’ photographs.
Today we came into class to several pieces of tape on the floor. We tried to think why they were there. Mrs Spence helped by placing a 0 at one end and a 1 at the other. As a class we worked out that they were number lines. Mrs Spence then put a blank piece of card right in the middle between the 0 & 1 and asked us what would go there? We then had to write the answer on the card. It was 1/2. We then put another piece of card in the middle between the 0 and 1/2. We worked out this would be 1/4. Then we put another piece between the 1/2 & 1 and worked out it needed to be 3/4. We then extended the line to 2 and had to work out what fractions went where. Then we split into groups and tried to complete the task. Some of us managed to work in 1/2’s from 0 to 5!
We have been experimenting with our new loom frames in class. We like to choose the colours and textures of each thread. It’s great for our fine motor skills too.
We’ve been learning about the Coronation and have been listening to facts read by our Reading Buddies. We made coronation bookmarks.
We were also using our creative skills to make fantastic crowns fit for a king!
Last weekend Jakson in Primary 5 qualified for the Motocross British Championship, an amazing achievement for such a young rider. We are all incredibly proud of Jakson and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for him as he continues to compete in this exciting sport. Well done, Jakson!

This week we have been working on counting back from 100. We had to share our strategy with the rest of the class. We then used the strategy to work out lots of different equations. Next we tried using the same strategy when the number was lower than 100. We worked out that the same strategy worked. Lots of problem solving this week!!
We raised a fantastic total of £315.13 for Red Nose Day on 17th March.
A huge thank you to everyone for your generous donations and for taking part so enthusiastically in ‘wearing red from toes to head’!
Thank you also to the Primary 5 pupils who helped raise awareness of the event around the school, great job!

Our Primary 7 pupils have been busy! They used their persuasive writing skills to contact businesses to help fundraise for our leavers’ hoodies. We were overwhelmed with the response, please have a look through some of the incredible prizes. Pupils will be selling raffle tickets from tomorrow (18th April) in school, they are £2.50 a strip. Good luck and thank you for the support.
This week we have been looking at all the resources we have and reminding ourselves how we can use these in our learning.
We have been learning about Ancient Egyptians and drew pictures of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen. He became Pharaoh when he was eight years old and died when he was eighteen. We researched and recorded our facts on our Seesaw accounts.
This week we have been learning our new sound ‘ng’ and have been writing some descriptions. We’ve been trying really hard to remember capitals, finger spaces and full stops when writing sentences, and some of us have been using joining words too.
We are continuing to explore Our Five Senses and have had fun playing the feely bag game . We used lots of vocabulary to describe the textures we felt e.g smooth, rough, bumpy, hard, squishy, soft. We also learned about our sense of smell and found out that some smells can act as a warning eg. food can smell off, so don’t eat it .
“If you smell smoke, that’s a warning. There could be a fire and you need to get out.” – Heather
In Maths we’ve been looking at o’clock times on analogue and digital clocks. We’ve played some bingo games and have even made some of our own clocks.
