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.

P7 are having a smashing time at Lockerbie Manor, in spite of the weather.  Lots of fun and adventures.  Mrs Stewart and Mrs Donnelly are off to visit them today and will share another update tomorrow.

Red Nose Day is almost upon us once more and we are asking pupils to do their bit by ‘Wearing Red From Toes to Head’ this Friday,17th March. Please try to wear your red, (even if it’s just socks!) and bring a donation if you can – all money raised will go directly to help with issues such as mental health, child poverty and homelessness. Thank you from Mrs Campbell and Primary  5

As part of our pupil led exploratory work recently, the pupils had agency to create and code an angle in whatever way they wanted to. Some coded their angles on Micro:bits, some chose to create dances with angles through Code.org (Dance Party) and some used Scratch.

Take a look at some of our creations below. The coding activity helped the pupils to use their innovation skills whilst deepening their mathematic understanding surrounding angles.

We also received a very exciting delivery of Binary Bots which we are using our skills to build in class, we can’t wait until they are completed.
