P2A Remote Learning

You have been working so hard on your learning at home Primary 2A! I have been so impressed with your hard work on Seesaw and in class this week. In Literacy, we have been learning to read and write soft g words. You all worked so hard to write a fantastic description of a family member this week. I saw lots of brilliant connectives which was our Success Criteria challenge. Next week we are going to begin writing an imaginative story.

In Numeracy we have been learning to make equal groups. You all know this means you were dividing and this week, we have been learning to divide by 2. You used concrete materials at home to practise sharing equally and I was impressed with how hard you all worked on this task. We have also continued with our number talks too.

I am glad so many of you asked for more French target tasks and you all put in so much effort to your French learning this week. I have loved seeing everyone being so creative in your learning. Here are some examples of your amazing work on Seesaw.

Alex worked really hard to build a house for the Three Little Pigs. This was Mrs Beattie’s STEM challenge this week. Super effort Alex!

 

Isla used her nail varnish collection to spell soft g words. I love her creativity and she has a very impresive collection. Super spelling Isla:)

 

Harry read this book himself at home this week. I am very proud that you were practising your reading Harry and choosing to read a book for enjoyment:)

Jaysiel worked hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest in Numeracy. This was a great challenge and you could order all the numbers in the correct order. Well done:)

 

Have a great weekend everyone:)

Lockdown Painted Stones

A massive ‘THANK YOU’ to our secret helpers who came in to the school playground last Friday to cement down the beautiful painted stones which our pupils and their families did during Lockdown.  We were delighted to see the finished result and are sure that you will agree that they have done a fantastic job. On behalf of everyone at East Calder Primary School THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Your help is much appreciated 🙂

Here are some of the photos of our COVID Snake which can be found in the P1-2 playground.

 

 

Aargh Primary 2A!

In Primary 2A, we have been learning about pirates as our Topic. We were very excited to receive a letter from a real pirate who is going to help us with our learning.

We decided what we would like to learn about pirates and some of our questions have been answered in the interesting non-fiction book we have been reading. We even learned about some real famous pirates from the past. Blackbeard sounded the scariest. We wrote fantastic descriptions about him in Writing last week. Well done to Oscar C, Matthew and Isabella who were our amazing Writing stars last week. I wonder who will be the Writing stars this week?

Our pirate also asked us to learn about why pirates have flags on their ships. Well done to Hugo who knew that the reason for this is so that other ships would know pirates were approaching and the flag would scare them. Our pirate asked us to design a new flag for her ship using black paper and oil pastels or chalk. We used no more than two colours each and we did not share to make sure everyone was safe. We used pictures of pirate flags on the Smart Board to help us with our designs. We worked very hard and did an amazing job! We are still waiting to find out the winner. That will be a very hard decision.

P6 – Learners Leading Learning

I was delighted to receive this message by email today from our P6 class. Our school are working on developing reading skills and we have purchased some puppets to help the younger pupils understand the skills we are learning about. Our pupils in P6 have come up with the great idea of creating videos to help introduce the younger pupils to the skills they are learning about and using in their reading. I’m looking forward to seeing how the videos turn out! Well done P6 for a great idea – another example of our young learners leading learning in ECPS 🙂

Home Learning in P2M

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you and your families are well this week. A massive thank you to everyone for all your efforts during this time and thank you to each and every one of you who have taken the time to send photos of your home learning. I really enjoy seeing the activities you have been doing at home and it is great to see so many of you being creative and enjoying your learning.

Remember to keep sending photos if you can. I appreciate that this can be difficult as the weeks continue; however, any photos of activities you are doing at home are greatly appreciated. This could be photos of you doing activities such as baking, cooking, gardening, drawing, reading a book, riding your bike. Here are some more examples of activities that you have been doing at home.

Have a lovely weekend everyone! Well done for all your effort and support during this time.

From Miss Marra

After watching “Let’s Go Live” with Maddie and Greg, you created your own dinosaur zip line in the garden. Fantastic work and it looks like you had lots of fun doing this. Well done!

You worked hard to create this wonderful picture of a boat. I love the detail and effort you have put into this. Well done Luca!

What an amazing achievement for you Phoebe! You have been practising riding your bike without stabilisers and you can now do it. All your hard work and resilience has paid off. Well done Phoebe!

Home Learning in P2M

Hello everyone,

I hope you and your families are well and have enjoyed taking part in some of the Health Week activities this week.  Well done if you have taken part in the virtual Sports Day and earned points for your house. Thank you for all the home learning you have sent this week. It is lovely to see so many people working so hard during lockdown. You should all be so proud of yourselves! I am very proud of you. Here are some more examples of your fantastic home learning.

 

You used numbers on your magnetic easel to calculate how many days you have left until Primary 3. This is fantastic addition and subtraction Phoebe. Well done for choosing a creative way to practise Numeracy.

A few weeks ago, you used your toys to create your own enchanted woodland. This is so creative and looked like you had lots of fun. Well done!

 

After watching a “Let’s Go Live” episode with Maddie Moate and Greg Foote, you used your learning to create your own volcano model. This looks amazing and I can see you worked very hard on it. You look so proud of yourself and you should be. Well done!

A few weeks ago, you created this lovely poster to show your support for our fantastic NHS. I hope you displayed this proudly because you did a great job. Well done!

Keep sending me examples of your learning Primary 2. I really enjoy seeing all your learning and the interesting things you have been doing at home. Thank you to everyone who has been sending home learning so far. Have a lovely weekend.
