P2W Book Week

This week we took part in Book Week Scotland 2019. We were set many challenges to try and complete during our literacy time.

P2W chose to recreate the front cover of one of our favourite books – Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We worked so hard creating this that it took us one whole week! We are very proud of all the hard work, effort and teamwork that has went into our amazing door creation.

We have all our fingers and toes crossed in the hope that we win the competition on Monday!

Article 28: We have the right to learn.

P4S homework

As part of this week’s homework grid we had to design and build a firework. Here are some of our creations.

P3 & 4 Lego Club

This week we worked together to build actual models from instructions. We learned about working together and cooperating through Lego.

P3R Homework

P3R enjoyed our Homework carousel today when we get walk round and share all the things we have done on our homework grid. We had super number work, fantastic pictures and some really spooky stories!

We put some of the stories in a big class book so others can enjoy reading them!

Great work P3R!

P4S Extreme Earth

Well done, Alexander, for building these Lego models. You created a volcano with lava pouring down it, a tsunami with buildings being washed away and an earthquake that actually moved. You shared these with the class, extending our learning.

P4S Maths Week Scotland

This week we have been introduced to lots of different strategies we can use to learn our times tables. These include Hit the Button, multiplication dominoes, dice, basketball and the game of pairs. Hopefully they will help us with our learning and speed of recall of our tables.

Primary 3D – Shadow Puppets

Primary 3D have been exploring a range of media to create props for a shadow puppet performance. The created storyboards to recreate the story of the Iron Man by Ted Hughes and used different objects and materials to bring the story to life. We all had a great time working together to create these pieces, well done everyone.

Creating New Games in P5J

Today Primary 5J had a fantastic day in the sun. Last week, we took our learning about instruction writing and created our own new games as part of our Health learning. Today, every child taught a short lesson about their game. We then evaluated their instructions and provided them with Stars and Wishes. We will be putting all of our fantastic ideas into a book to provide pupils and staff with different games that they can play!

P4S Smoothie Bike

We had a great time making our Smoothies. We talked about how healthy they were to eat. We also used the bike to discuss what we had learned about forces and how they were moving the wheels and then the blade of the blender. Very yummy smoothies!!!

P4S Numeracy

We have been learning to use different strategies to develop our recall and accuracy of our times tables. We take part in lots of different activities to help us speed up. We all work on different times tables and sometimes link them to division facts too.
