Learning in P2/1

We have been learning about our bodies. We have been taking part in experiments to learn how we use our senses.

We did a ‘smell test’ to see if we could tell what was in the cup.
‘My favourite was the hot chocolate because it reminds me of the hot chocolate I get at home. My Mum makes it with marshmallows’. Belle


P1 created these super glasses when learning about the sense of sight, and P2  labelled the parts of an eye.

We had fun learning about the brain, lungs and heart. We placed the organs in the correct places on our body outline.

We’re really looking forward to presenting our learning at our assembly this week.

Primary 7 Sportshall Athletics Squad

P3a Numeracy

Each week we take part in lots of different Numeracy activities to help us develop our skills. We share our strategies and help each other try them out. This week in our Number of the Day task we had to work out sums with the answer 39. We came up with addition subtraction, multiplication and someone even came up with a sum involving division.

Primary One PE – Tennis

Our primary one pupils have had a great time pretending to make pancakes in PE! The children have been using the tennis rackets and beanbags to develop their hand-eye coordination, gross and fine motor skills. Our little chefs were shaking, flipping and catching their pancakes.

Problem Solving Pumpkins 🎃

After exploring fractions we created eighths with a single piece of paper and then figured  out how to turn these eighths into a pumpkin! We did a fantastic job and used our collaboration and thinking skills to figure it out. We had some spooktacular results.

Rainforest

What a fabulous display of learning outside the Primary 5 classroom. So much creativity and a display of how much they have learned so far.

Well done P5 – very impressive!

House Group Winners – Term 1

Well done to all the pupils in Langton House! You were the house group winners for Term 1 – with a fabulous 246 house points!

To celebrate your achievement, you were treated to an ‘Enjoy-a-ball’ session with your house group peers. By the sounds coming from the hall and the photos, it sounds like you all enjoyed it and had lots of fun 🙂

 

Primary 5 Rainforests

We had some absolutely amazing responses to our Rainforest Challenge in Primary 5. Pupils were asked to create a 3D model of a rainforest scene, showing the 4 layers and some of the creatures who live there. As you can see, we had some truly amazing creations – so much ingenuity and imagination!
They currently have pride of place outside our classroom and so many people have commented on how good they are- a big thank you to all who took up the challenge, well done on your amazing creativity!

End of Term Learning in P3B

We take part in Number Talks every day. We have been learning to count forwards and backwards in decades using a 100 square. We know that the most efficient strategy is to count in tens.

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

Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.


This was our Learning Intention for Number Talks. We always link our learning to the UNCRC.

“30 less than 102 is 72. I counted back in tens.”

 

“2o less than 76 is 56. You could count back in ones but it would take too long. The quickest strategy is to count back in tens.”


 

“40 less than 101 is 61. I counted back four which is the same as counting back four tens.”

“60 less than 88 is 28. I wouldn’t count back in ones because that would take ages. I counted back in tens. I counted back six tens.”

 

During our last week of Term 1, we engaged in Art which provided us with the opportunity to unleash our creativity. We each received a piece of paper with a black round sticker places somewhere on the page. We had a great discussion about what the sticker could represent and we used our ideas to create our own pictures. Have a look at some of our wonderful creations.
