Primary 1

It’s been another busy week in primary 1.  This week and next we will learn two new sounds ‘oa’ and ‘ng’. The children have been writing the sounds and blending to read words containing the sound. We have been reading in small groups and writing sentences and small stories.  Our targets are to start with a capital letter, use finger spaces and end with a full stop.  We have been adding within 10 and learning about halves and quarters.  We have also been learning about toys in the past.

It was lovely to catch up with you this week.  Have a great weekend.

 

This week in P3.

Happy Friday P3! … and Happy  Red Nose Day!

We loved seeing different super heroes in our classes today and we enjoyed listening to lots of jokes. Well done to Erin and Paul for confidently reading their jokes at our assembly. Thank you very much to everyone who made a donation to Comic Relief.

We have all been working so hard in P3 this week on writing information reports. We are have been discussing our core targets and thinking about how we can improve our writing. When we assess our writing we think about… what went well and even better if…

We have also been working on division and using our multiplication facts to help us work out the answer.

Well done everyone! Have a lovely weekend!

Happy Red Nose Day! We loved seeing your costumes and hearing all the jokes in class and assembly.

In class, we have recently been learning some new sounds: oo, ee ai. ie, ou and oi. We have also been learning about Spring with Mrs Turner. We are beginning to learn about halves in Maths and have been practising our addition and subtraction.

We have been continuing to develop our reading skills and reading in small groups. Please look at Seesaw for more information.

As the weather gets warmer, please can you ensure that the children bring  enough water to school.

Due to current covid restrictions, it is essential that personal items are kept at home. Children are not able to share with classmates.

Have a lovely weekend.

This week in P4!

Wow, it has been great to have everyone back in class this week and it has been a busy one!

We have been working on writing descriptions, understanding and clarifying words in a text and working on homophones in literacy. In maths, we have worked on column addition, multiplication and time this week as well. We have continued to look at health and wellbeing and our topic looking at ‘Our Community’ where we looked at ‘wants and needs’. We had a great discussion about ‘wants and needs’.

It has been great to get back to our class and we have really enjoyed Red Nose Day today and being dressed up!

P4/3 Red Nose Day

Today we dressed a superheroes and donated some money towards Comic Relief  to support people living incredibly tough lives.  This year their aim is to use the power of funny to turn laughs into lasting change.  We told each other jokes to make us laugh!

Ellie- Mae “Knock knock, who’s there, chill, chill who? I chill like you!”
Ben “Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side! How did the cat cross the road? It was attached to the chicken!”

P4/3 8.3.21

This week we used our research on Boudicca to write a description.  We had to think about her characteristics, who she was and what she did.  We also had to give a reason for our opinion of her.

We had fun reading about Star Wars and then using different question words to create our own questions about the passage.

We have also been learning about homophones and using the correct spelling of two, to & too in sentences.

In Maths this week we have been learning about co-ordinates. We learned how to find animals / colours on a grid and write the co-ordinates using brackets and a comma. We then had to draw our own island and give directions using co-ordinates to find the treasure.

In Health this week we learned about food from different countries.

This week we have been comparing different community and then created our own community and added services to it.

This week in P4!

What a wonderful week of learning in P4 again this week! Well done everyone, it has been great to see examples of your learning. We have focused on spelling, writing descriptions and asking questions this week in literacy. We have continued to work on coordinates and grid references this week in Numeracy and looked at relationships in Health and Wellbeing. We have continued to learn about our community but we have also looked at different communities in Scotland and compared and contrasted these. We then designed our own communities.

Here are just some of our examples:

New community

I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone back in school next week. You have all worked so incredibly hard.

Have a lovely weekend!

Primary 2/1 – This week’s learning from 1st March

Dear Primary 2/1,

Thank you for a great week of listening and hard work.  You are all very much enjoying being back and enjoying your familiar space in the classroom and seeing all of your friends.

In Literacy this week, the Primary 1s have been working hard on learning their digraphs  sounds – oo, ee, ie .

Primary 2s have been learning more about what makes a sentence a question and in writing they used their success critieria list to help them write the perfect questions for Willie Wonka.

In Numeracy, Primary 1s completed more work on subtraction and were also introduced to Fractions; learning about a ‘whole’ and a ‘half’ and what makes a ‘half’ (it has to be exactly the same size as the other half’).

Primary 2s did more learning on missing subtrahends, addends and number sequencing.

On Thursday we had World Book Day activities and the children very much enjoyed listening to stories being read to them by P7 pupils via Teams.  P2/1 also watched a video about a Book Cover Designer and they learned lots about what he does.  P2/1 enjoyed completing his task of designing their own Book Cover and the book was to be about them.  They also enjoyed making their own mini-book from paper and completing a front cover, mini-story and illustrations.

Primary 2/1 are very much enjoying their Topic – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  They are also enjoying learning about Plants in Science and learning some Bible Stories in RME with links into Technology.

Thank you for sending in photos of your favourite book.

Have a great weekend, Primary 2/1.

Mrs Meikle

 

 

This week in P3B!

It’s so good to be back P3B! You are all enjoying being in  school  again and playing with your friends.

This week we have been working hard on our 3 and 4 times tables. We love to use  animated clips or videos to help us skip count in 3s and 4s. We are learning how to work out multiplication word problems and we wrote the 4 times table in the playground using chalk.

We  have used word boost this week to help us  learn new words and understand what they mean.

We started our Ancient Egypt topic and we wrote down what we know already. Most of us know they have pyramids there but we are not sure why. As a class we came up with three big questions that we want to find the answers to.

In Science we have been experimenting with magnets which was good fun!

On Thursday we had a great World Book Day. We looked at the books in our school library and we are trying to find out what the best book in the world is. We also found out about working in publishing. The jobs of editor and illustrator sound really interesting.

We love lots of different books. What is your favourite book?

P4/3 Remote Learning 1.3.21

This week we have been continuing to learn to write a discussion text.  This week we wrote a text about ‘Should animals be allowed in schools?’ 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 two, to & too in sentences.

In Maths this week we have been learning about giving directions. We drew our own compass and used its points to describe journeys.

In Health this week we learned about relationships and how important they are.

This week we have been looking at our community and what amenities it provides.  We drew maps of the natural areas too.

This week also contained World Book Day when we took part in a game of Bingo activities to do with reading.  One of them was to take a picture of ourselves reading in our favourite place.
