P5\4 working hard!

Who says you can’t get lots done when it is a short week? Primary 5/4 say you can 🙂

We have been busy with the following:-

– Continuing to build on our knowledge of Explanation texts.

– Continuing to explore Measurement where we have been measuring both in and outside of the classroom (looking at cm, mm and metres so far!)

– We have started learning about our new learning context (Oceans and Climate Change).

– We have been using our mapping skills to identify the location of the continents and the oceans.

– In Science, we  started looking at The Water Cycle which we found really interesting.

– Finally, one of the pupils became our teacher and taught us some Spanish numbers (what a treat with her own PowerPoint too)

Phew – it sure has been busy but lots of fun and enjoyable learning.

Have a lovely Thursday off, Miss Baldacci.

P5/4 are hard at work!

Please have a look at the pictures to see what we have been up to this week 🙂

We have started learning about a new type of writing – an explanation text. We have been learning about what features must be included to make this writing successful. We have also started looking at Measure for Maths. We have started by looking at all the different ways we can measure something and have started making conversions between measurements.

For P.E, we have been learning the importance of teamwork through rounders – we have been enjoying it!

I hope all the families from primary 5/4 have a relaxing and safe long weekend,

Miss Baldacci.

Sky Academy P7B

P7B were fortunate enough to visit Sky Academy this week. Sky Academy Studios uses the power of TV and innovation to open young minds and develop young people’s Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. Our day out included

  • A hands-on learning experience in which
    the class will create their own TV content
  • A chance to work with team of experts
    and cutting-edge technology
  • A screening of our video on the day and
    the chance to watch and share the video after our trip
  • A behind-the-scenes tour of Sky

As you can see from the images below we have some budding Producers,Editors,Directors,Scriptwriters and there should be an Oscar nominations for our Presenters and Experts! Well done to our fantasic Cameramen/women who filmed the whole experience.

 

Silent Disco P6A

P6A had an early wake-up call on Thursday morning when we took part in a silent disco. Although it was a chilly morning, we soon warmed up as we boogied our way around the park, singing and dancing to some very upbeat tunes! Although some of us drew the line at Gangnam Style, we all joined in enthusiastically with a resounding rendition of YMCA as we made our way back to the playground. There were some very bemused East Calder residents (including dogs!) but we all agreed it was a fantastic way to start the day! Thank you to Charlotte from Sustrans for facilitating the disco.


P5/4 fun on the last week!

Have a look at what we have been up to this week. We ended our week with a fun Easter Maths hunt 🙂

I have had a lovely time working with all of the children in primary 5/4 🙂 Have a lovely Easter holiday when it comes with family and friends. Take care,

Alison Baldacci (Principal Teacher)

P3 Art

We have been learning about Artists called Miro and Mondrian.  We talked about the shapes they made and colours they used.  We then created our own picture in their style.  Some of us even tried to draw animals using the same idea.  We then talked about what we thought about their artwork.  Most of us preferred Miro, especially if we were creating our own, as his lines are wiggly so easier to draw than Mondrian’s straight lines.  We then took our learning outdoors and created chalk drawings in their styles.

Sky Academy P7A

We had a wonderful time at the Sky Academy Studios today. The pupils worked in four studio teams using their media literacy skills to research facts, which they then brought to life in a fascinating bespoke TV report.

The pupils had allocated roles including a: producer, director, scriptwriter, camera operator, presenter/reporter, expert, eyewitness and editor.

They had to read through the studio briefs and create a teleprompter script for the presenters. The most impressive part was that the pupils did this with very little help from the experts; showcasing their pupil agency, creativity and teamwork skills.

Well done P7A, what a fantastic learning experience we had!
