Primary 1 celebrated World Book Day. We designed our own bag with a character from our favourite story. We raised funds for the school by going on a ‘Welly Walk’. We used QR codes on the i-pads to listen to the story of ‘Pablo’s Bananas’ to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight.
This week in P5 we completed our polar animal reports using word publisher. We also found out how to use the Teams app!
In Maths we investigated how to identify, compare and order decimals. We also found out how to organise data using Pie charts.
In topic we found out more about polar explorers.
In HWB we talked about our new HWB characters, our daily
check-ins and we thought about strategies we could use to manage our emotions.
We also thought about our school values, Kindness, Respect, Honesty and Love and what they meant to us.
In Art we used chalk pastels to create the ‘Northern Lights’.
This week we had the opportunity to design a book bag and enter it into a competition. We look forward to finding out the results.
Here are some of our amazing book bags.
We also brought a book in and were able if we wanted to swap it for another book. We enjoyed this fun way of getting a new book.
Mr Reed was amazed at how much sponsorship money was raised for our Wellie Walk on Friday and as soon as all the money is counted we will find out how much we raised. We a;ll want to say thank you for sponsoring us.
Primary 6
This week in Primary 5 we enjoyed thinking about our favourite books, designing book bags with our favourite book covers or characters, reading stories to P3 and P5 and swapping books we read for new exciting books. We can’t wait to read them.
We also found out about Fairtrade and wrote a Fairtrade Fact File! In Art we created a Fairtrade picture using blending chalk techniques. In Maths we completed our block on integers, we are glad the temperature is starting to get above Zero now. We had sunshine every day this week!
We had a fab Welly Walk this morning around the loch. We walked fast to raise our heartbeat and we raised lots of money for school funds.
This week Primary 1 celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight. The Fairtrade Committee performed a short drama to the school at Assembly. Many thanks to Mrs Byrne for helping to organise. We learned a Fairtrade song and found out about where Fairtrade chocolate comes from. We celebrated ‘Shrove Tuesday’ by making pancakes with Mrs McLardy, they were delicious! We had a lovely service on Wednesday where we received our ashes to signify the beginning of Lent.
This week P5 have been working hard on improving our Digital kills. We found out how to use Word Publisher and then used the application with great success to produce amazing reports on Arctic animals! In Maths we found out how to add and subtract negative numbers. We also found out that the coldest temperature on earth is Antarctica where the temperature has been measure at -133.6 degrees Celsius! On Monday the weather was horrible so we developed our Hockey skills inside. Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday so we ate lots of pancakes. Delicious! We also led a lovely service for the school on Ash Wednesday. We completed our Arctic animal 3D posters and on Thursday we created Fair Trade Art silhouettes. A very busy week in P5!
We are sorry that we cannot upload pictures to our Blog this week.
This week has been full of new and exciting learning in Primary 6. The weather forced our FUTSAL session to be held in the hall but as it was pretty cold we did not mind.
Tuesday was Pancake day and Mr Reed spent time with every child and with a little help made a delicious pancake. We all expected some to end up on the ceiling or floor but Mr Reed somehow managed to save them all. A good job really as we all wanted to eat our own ones.
We all took part in our Ash Wednesday assembly and used this time to reflect on this very important time.
We also had our first Rugby taster session, which was really good fun and it stayed dry for us so we were outside. Getting muddy whilst enjoying Rugby was great fun.
Thursday we spent the afternoon classifying animals using carefully chosen questions. It was like a game of ‘Guess Who’ It was good fun with lots of learning through this type of activity.
Primary 6
Primary 1 have had another exciting week! Thank you very much to Rena’s mum who took the time to come in to Primary 1 to teach us some French colours. We met ‘Pascale’ who helped us to learn the colours red, blue and yellow. We loved it! It was really fun and we learned so much! We were introduced to our new sounds ‘igh’ and ‘y’ and are getting very good at recognising these sounds in words.
Primary 6 finished the week with a fun and hands on investigation to determine what sauce is best at not falling off a chip.
Mr Reed was unhappy yesterday when every time he went to eat a chip all the sauce that was on his chip slid off and landed on the plate. We carried out our own investigation to determine which sauce had the most viscosity and which had the least.
With the results in Mr Reed can always ensure that he has sauce with his chips.
Next week we not only have FUTSAL on Monday afternoon but for the next few weeks on a Wednesday afternoon we also have rugby taster sessions. We must remember to bring in outdoor clothing from next week.
Primary 6
As we arrive at the beginning of the holidays, primary 6 have been reflecting on what has been a really fun and informative start to 2020.
Much of our learning has been focussed around the devastating fires that have been burning in australia for many months now. Through this we have created pieces of artwork, information pages, written stories, learnt locations of cities and of debated environmental issues.
We have also been enjoying learning about electricity and how to make working circuits using various components. We designed and made our own working switches, which we will use when we begin making our own working lighthouses after the holiday.
We have reached the end of a fantastic book by Kathleen Fidler ‘ The Desperate Journey’ which told the story of a family evicted from their home during the highland clearances.
Despite the weather primary 6 have continued to have an outdoor learning opportunity each week. We have been doing maths and spelling games as well as creating games which we hope to teach to primary 2 after the holiday.
Have a great holiday
