P3B Dictionary Skills

 

The Lions and Giraffes Reading groups were learning to use a dictionary as a tool to support their learning. We started by finding out the meaning of some words in their Reading books; however, we then asked Miss Marra to give us different words to find. It was like a game, using the letters in the words to find them in the dictionary. We learned that the word “definition” is the meaning of words. We enjoyed finding out the definition to some words we already know, and we learned some new words too.

Miss Marra was impressed with the teamwork that was going on, as we all helped each other and we were very focused on our learning.

A special well done to Aria who was very eager to help others find the words once you felt confident. This was lovely to see, Aria. Well done!

P3B Data Handling

 

We have been learning to create and interpret graphs. We started by creating a whole class pictograph, showing different hair colour in our class. We realised that the most common hair colour in our class is blonde. We then answered questions to interpret the graph. We also create a pictograph showing our favourite flavours of crisps.


We have enjoyed interpreting different graphs and we have made some interesting observations, talking about what we notice, and answering and asking questions. We wrote on sticky notes to show our thinking and we shared our ideas with each other.


 

We displayed our learning on our Maths and Numeracy Wall to help us talk about what we learned. We were very confident talking about our learning using the correct language including data, graph, interpret, title and categories.


We have also learned to gather information and display this in a Tally Chart, and then use the information to create a bar chart. We are excited to take our learning outside next week, where we will be creating a Tally Chart and bar graph in our playground.

Article 13: We have the right to find out things and share what we think with others.

Finlay said this Article was displayed with our Learning Intention because the children were sharing their ideas and learning something new.

P3B Trip to the Owl Centre

We had am amazing time on our first school trip! We learned about the different owls and watched a brilliant flying show. We asked very thoughtful and intelligent questions about the owls and we enjoyed visiting all the owls around the centre. One of our favourite parts of the day was free play on the owl slide and at the park. We played so well together, and demonstrated our LEARN Values throughout the day. The behaviour was fantastic and everyone did really well coping with the change in routines.

Well done everyone!

Article 28: We have the right to learn.

Netball Success!

Congratulations to our P7 Netball team who have had a very successful month. The team won the South Livingston Netball League and the West Lothian Primary School Netball Tournament.

Our Netball club started back in September and has ran on Wednesdays continuously throughout the school year. A huge thank you to Mr Millar and Mrs Gall for running this club and taking pupils to after school events.

 

A P1 Surprise!

Primary one got a big surprise this week when a friendly dragon visited their classrooms and left a letter.

He asked if we could help rebuild Fairyland. We all agreed we could help by reading more fairy tales and we talked about our favourite ones. Some of us went to the library to look for books and we have coloured  dragon pictures.

We had lots of good ideas about what would make a good home for a dragon. We think the dragon would feel safe and cosy in our class castle or cave. He would be delighted with his new home!

We hope to hear from him again soon!

P3a Trip to Owl Centre

This week we went on a trip to the Owl Centre at Polkemmet Country Park. In the morning we met different owls and played a game to help us understand what they eat. Next we got to look round all the cages and try to find answers to different questions. Then we had a flying display where we found out even more information. We also got to play at the Owl Park which had a huge owl slide. In the afternoon we went on a forest walk and played some outdoor games, making us think about our natural surroundings. Finally we got to play at the park where they had a big wooden castle, dragon swing and flying fox. It was great fun!
