Our first week in P3a

We have had lots of fun exploring our new classroom and learning our new routines.  We have worked together to add within 20, find words in a Boggle board and started our Free Writing Friday – and that is just during our Smart Starts when we wake up our brains!
We have thought about how we can be kind to others and help ‘fill their bucket’.  We are looking forward to learning lots of new things together.

This term our gym days will be on a Monday & Wednesday. On these days pupils can wear gym clothes in our school colours – black, yellow or white.

Literacy in P5/4

 

In P5/4, we have been getting ready to recite our Scottish poems. We have been working hard to deconstruct the poems to help us learn some new words in Scot’s language and we had great time trying to read them out loud. We wrote down the meaning of Scottish words we found in the poems and used ipads and laptops to help us. We also did the same learning activity with “The Jeely Piece Song” and it was interesting to find out how many words we could remember.

 

We are excited to recite our Scottish poems in class this week. If we work hard to practise we may be chosen to represent our class at our Scottish Assembly on Teams.

Whole School ‘Nativity Assembly’

This morning we held our usual virtual Assembly on TEAMS, however today’s assembly was very different as it was our first Nativity Assembly which was led by the pupils of East Calder Primary School. The Christmas Story was told by pupils from every class and we think that our P1-7 pupils did a fantastic job! You all learned your parts so well and spoke clearly and confidently – great job everyone!!!

 

 

We love P2A!

We have been really busy since we started Primary 2. We have been working hard to make sure we feel safe and happy at school. We have also been working hard on our learning. Here are some of the learning and activities we have enjoyed so far in Primary 2A.

 

I like playing in the “safe Corner” with my friends.     Hugo

Kites use push and pull to move in the air. I have learned this in Science.   Alex

You were really enjoying your Maths this week. You have really developed your confidence in Maths this year and you are smashing those missing number sums. Well done for all your hard work!

 

You look so proud of your Roman shield. I can see you worked so hard on this and it was lovely to see photos of you making it. You seemed to really enjoy the process and look at the result. Well done!

Fantastic Home Learning in P2M

You have been so creative making your own puppet theatre, Isla-Mae. It looks amazing and I am sure your baby brother loves your puppet shows. Well done!

This is a great idea for a “vegetable hero” Callan. Supper effort with your capital letters and full stops too. Well done!

You have worked so hard to make your own 10 square Finlay. Now you can practise counting on and back to add and subtract numbers up to 100. Well done for this amazing effort!

You have been growing your own rainbow vegetables that you got as a gift for your birthday. You love Science and it is great to see you are enjoying learning more about the world at home. I can’t wait to see how these look soon. Well done for all your hard work!
