Class Learning in P2B

Hello everyone,

We have had a super first week back at school following our period of remote learning from home. We have managed to come back to school with a positive attitude and with a hunger to learn. This week we have shown resilience to come back to school and get back into a routine, even with lots of changes happening on a daily basis.

Take a look at what we have been learning this week:

Literacy: We are learning to know what a question is and how to form our own questions.

We created our own questions about ourselves for our learning partner to try and answer. This was a great activity which we enjoyed. We got to learn lots about our friends.

Maths: We are learning how to recognise and describe 2D shapes.

This week Miss Walkingshaw set us a challenge to look for everyday 2D shapes in outside in the playground. We did a great job of this!

Modern Languages: We are learning to know the days of the week in French.

Ms Livingstone took us for French this week. We enjoyed learning more new language in French following on from all of our hard work on Seesaw.

Technology: We are learning how to create a character from a novel.

Mrs Martin took us for Technology this week. We enjoyed learning how to create a character using our imagination. We focused on the main character from our new topic: Willie Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Here are some of our amazing drawings:

What a super first week back! Have a great weekend.

P4/3 Remote Learning

This week we have been continuing to learn to write a discussion text.  This week we wrote a text about ‘Should animals be kept in zoos?’ We planned our work by writing key words under the headings ‘for’ and ‘against’ and then used these notes to write our full discussion text.  We have also been learning about homophones and using the correct spelling of there, their and they’re in sentences.  We have been learning to predict what might happen next in a passage.

In Maths this week we have been learning about measure by using our feet and hand spans to work out the length of different things.  We have also worked on capacity and weight.

In Health this week we were learning about responsibility and our abilities.

This week we have been researching who Boudicca was and why she was important to the Celts.

P6 & P6/5 Remote learning – Victorians.

We were extremely happy to have a virtual session with Maureen Liddell today from the West Lothian Living Memory Association. Maureen delivered an educational and interactive session all about a day in the life of a Victorian. Maureen showed us some local Victorian artefacts, explained their function and linked them to our present day lives. We learned about a whole host of aspects, including: Victorian tooth powder, manufacturing, clothing, school paraphernalia, washing, hygiene, Victorian homes, etiquette and more!

We will now be able to extend our learning of this and continue to explore the context further.

 

 

P2/1 Remote Learning

Primary 2/1,

You’ve had a great short week with some fun learning taking place.

Primary 1s you learned about Subtraction of Numbers and in Phonics you learned the ‘ie’ sound that is in tie, pie and flies.  You also learned counting to ten in French.

Primary 2s you learned about separating larger numbers into Tens and Ones and in Phonics you did more great work on your magic e words.  Some of you have also been doing great work on your Fry’s words and your reading.  Well done!

Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday back at school.

Thank You Primary 2A

Well done to everyone for all your hard work during remote learning. You have all put in so much effort to your learning and I continue to be impressed with all your amazing work every day. It is great that we were able to continue with our learning that we would have been doing in school and it has been amazing to see so much creativity. I am looking forward to continuing our learning journey when we go back to school on Monday.

Thank you also to all the parents and carers for your support on Seesaw. Your children wouldn’t have been so successful without your continued support and patience.

 

I am so proud of all of you and I am looking forward to seeing you on Monday. Stay safe and have a lovely weekend:)

Love from your very proud teacher,

Miss Marra

 

Matthew was working hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest this week. Well done for your hard work Matthew:)

 

This is Isabella’s home-made play dough that she used to spell magic e words. Fantastic learning Isabella:)

 

Harry has been working hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest. This is one of the “hot” tasks from this week. Well done for working so hard Harry:)

 

 

Thank you P3!

As we get ready to return to school on Monday we would like to say a  huge thank you to you all for your hard work over the last few weeks. We have been so  impressed by how well you have engaged with remote learning and with the standard of your work. Lots of you have tried hard to extend your learning at  home.

Also a massive thank you to all the mums and dads .. and some brothers and sisters, that have helped and supported you to do your best. It has not been easy at times.

We have managed to stay on track with our learning and we have covered work that we would be doing if we were in school. We hope you are feeling ready to continue in school and we know you will be excited to see your friends. It will all look and feel the same as before. There are now hand sanitiser dispensers on the wall at the door so this makes it very easy to remember to clean  our hands. We will let you know next week which days we will be having PE this term.

Looking forward to seeing all of your smiley faces on Monday!

Have a lovely weekend!

From your very proud… and excited teachers!
