P4/3 Remote Learning

This week we have been doing lots of learning.

In Literacy we have been working on our spelling using ‘th’, we created questions about a text titled ‘Great women who made history’.   We watched an author’s live with Andy Stanton and used his character Mr Gum to create ideas for our own story.  We then used a different story starter to write our own imaginary story.

In Numeracy continuing our work on 2D & 3D shapes and their properties.  We then worked on trying to tile different shapes and looked at symmetry.

In Health this week we looked at safety.  We thought about different ways to keep ourselves safe in our houses, outdoors and in our community.

We also started our new topic of The Celts. We researched when and where they lived and what their houses looked like.

Primary 2/1 Remote and Classroom learning

Well done Primary 2/1 on a super effort on Seesaw and in the classroom.  Primary 1s, in literacy, we have been learning the sh, ch and th sounds and you’ve done a fantastic job on this.  In numeracy you’ve been learning about measure and ordering from shortest to longest and measuring using cubes.  Primary 2s, in literacy, you’ve been learning the soft ‘g’ sound and also working on your reading comprehension skill of inference.  In numeracy, you’ve been working on separating objects into equal parts which is an introduction to division.  In French we were learning about parts of the body and in class we managed to learn ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes’ in French.

Keep up the great work everyone.  We’re really proud of you.  Mrs Meikle.

The Royal Zoological Society – Giant Panda & Mandarin.

In Primary 6 and Primary 6/5 we were lucky enough to have some online lessons from Sandie (The Project Coordinator for Languages) from The Royal Zoological Society. Sandie taught us some interesting scientific facts about Pandas and we also got the chance to learn some Mandarin.

Who knew that pandas had a hidden bone which acts as a thumb and that pandas poo 50 times a day! They go through a lot of bamboo.  We learned about the life cycle of a panda , along with some interesting information about their habitats in China. We enjoyed an explanation of the history of Chinese symbols and we helped to decipher the symbols for different habitats.

Primary 2/1 – P2 Phonics and Spelling

Good morning,

Please find attached our new sounds and spelling for this week:   ‘igh’ and ‘y’.  Some of our children are practising cvc words for spelling but all are learning the new sounds for this week together.

Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home.  Try to  focus on sounding out each sound then blend the sounds together.  If the children are confident reading and writing the words they may wish to write sentences with their words to challenge them further.

These have also been posted on Seesaw for you too.
