P5, P5/4 and P4 Fischy Music

We were lucky to have the opportunity to take part in a Fischy Music session last week. Everyone was so excited to see the people from Fischy Music who we have seen so many times on screen in Assemblies! We  sang songs that we know so well and we learned a few new songs too. One of the songs reminded us of the importance of friendship and the qualities that make a good friend.

We really enjoyed our learning and Miss Cameron, Miss Beattie and Miss Marra certainly spotted some future performers among us. We are looking forward to using some of the new songs we learned to support our learning in class.

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

P3 Book Week

We had lots of fun activities to help in our learning this week.  We received new books for our class library and have been reading them each day when the bell rang to tell us to ‘Drop everything & read’.  We were read some new stories and created a big display with our ideas from the book Octopus Shocktopus.  We used an idea from the book to design and label our perfect house.  We took part in ‘design a book mark’ competition. We learned about exclamation marks and found some in books in the class. We listened to David Williams & Julia Donaldson on Author’s Live.  We took our books to the playground to read during Outdoor Learning.  We found verbs in our reading books, completed some Readingwise and Giglets tasks and we each received our ‘Read, Write, Count’ bags containing two new books and lots of other surprises.

P3 Learning

On Wednesday a surprise arrived in our classroom. It was a box and it had a label that said, “To P3a, don’t open until Friday.”

We were very excited an wrote a list of what might be in the box.

On Friday we finally got to open the box.

It contained… pine cones!!!!

We all had a look and wrote down what we might like to learn about them.

Let the learning begin!!!

 

 

This week in P4!

This week P4 have been super busy working on lots of learning! We have been looking at our explanation texts in writing and creating our own art to go along with these.  We have looked at rounding, probability and chance and symmetry this week in numeracy and maths. We enjoyed working on probability and chance and completing an investigation. We have continued to look at land use and settlements and learned about how towns and cities are linked.  We have discussed how change may affect us moving forward and what the positive and negative impacts of changes may be.

A great week P4, have a lovely weekend.

P2/1 Learning this week

Primary 2/1 have been working hard this week.

We have taken a small break from our Romans topic and introduced a mini-topic about Pandas in response to questions the children had about the Red Pandas coming to the Five Sisters Zoo.  The children were very interested to learn that Red Pandas and Giant Pandas are not related and this made them more curious.  We made a list of what questions the children had about Pandas and then decided to watch factual videos to find our answers then make a Fact File about them.  The children also enjoyed following an artist to learn how to draw Giant Pandas.  So far we have been learning lots about Giant Pandas.

In numeracy Primary 2s are learning about money and Primary 1s are having more practise with addition.

In literacy Primary 1s are making great progress in their reading and our Primary 2s are learning about reading with fluency and expression as well as comprehension techniques.

At the start of the day before Register, the children have also enjoyed finishing off our Roman Colosseum display picture by adding Romans, gladiators and wild animals in the arena.

I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend,

Mrs Meikle

This week in P4!

This week in P4 we have been busy working on fractions in numeracy and looked at symmetry during our active maths lesson.  We discussed our explanation text this week and wrote about how gliders and hang-gliders fly. We worked together on our learner agency activities where children chose to show their learning in a variety of ways. We looked at the features of PowerPoint and created presentations using the different features about a topic of our choice.

What a great week P4, well done!

This week in P4!

This week in P4 we have been busy working on our genre of writing this term – Explanation texts. We can talk about the features of this text and what these should look like. We have continued to work on using money and discussed budgeting this week so we could see how much things cost.  We enjoyed learning about different pets in French and playing Lotto! We looked closely at online safety and discussed the important need for a strong password as well. Great learning this week from all! Well done P4!

This week in P4!

This week in P4 we have taken part in lots of different numeracy activities as part of National Numeracy Day on Wednesday. We watched videos of people explaining how they use numbers and maths in their job. We used our maths skills to complete a maths trail in the playground and we made some art using maths as well. It was a bit tricky to start with but we kept going and enjoyed it! We have continued to look at writing explanation texts and have looked in detail at fact and opinion this week. We have also continued looking at lessons where we use our learner agency and choose how we will share our learning.

This week in P4!

This week has been super busy with lots going on in P4.  We have been working on our new genre of writing and learning about Explanation Texts.  We have worked on division and angles this week and enjoyed learning something new in division.  We have continued to find out about how land is used around the country and what this might have looked like in older settlements.  We learned about the NSPCC and discussed how important it is to have a trusted adult to speak to if we are worried about something.  We took part in some class presentations on what job we would like to have when we grow up and they were amazing! We had class talks, PowerPoint presentations and even some videos, great job P4!

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Cameron

This week in P4!

This week has been super busy with learning! We have been involved in more learner agency lessons where we have ownership over how to present our learning this week. We wrote some amazing imaginative stories as well. We have been learning about right angles which we have really enjoyed and identifying these in shapes. We have used a lot of digital technology this week to support us in reading and health and wellbeing.

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Miss Cameron
