Learning Reflection for W/E 12.01.18

Maths

   

This week we have been learning how to subtract an amount from a group and then counting what is left to find the answer.

Scotland Focus

   

We started our Scotland topic by having a discussion about what we already know about Scotland. Here are the children’s responses:

Caleb – I live in Scotland

Andrew – The American president is Scottish and he is not a real president

Maizy – Scotland is a very cold place

Nathan – Scotland is a country

Andrew – I am a lucky boy because I was born and live in Scotland

Highlights of the week

Andrew – being a news reader, I was asking a person who saw Nessie questions

Emma – I learned about Nessie

Aakruti – we made a play dough Nessie

Maizy – Learning about subtraction, it’s when you take away

Maddie – the take away sign means subtraction

Sophia – Nessie lives in Loch Ness

Holly – I like doing word building, rock and sock rhyme, they end with special friend ck

Ms King – My highlight was noticing how much the children have grown over the two week holiday, not just in height but in their attitude towards learning.

Happy New Year to all, I hope you had a lovely rest over the festive holidays and are ready for a very busy term!

P1M Burns Poetry Competition

Happy New Year. Hope you all had a lovely holiday. As part of our Robert Burns Celebrations we are running a poetry competition in school. A selection of children from each class will be chosen to perform their poem to the judges. Could you help your child to choose either The Crocodile by JK Annand or Nessie by JK Annand and practice their choice of poem. Their poems will be heard in class the week beginning 22nd January. The children have brought their poems home today. Here is a link to a copy of both poems:

Burns Poetry Competition

The children have chosen the poem that they would like to recite for this years competition. They have all been given a copy and told to keep it safe!

Can I ask that the children have their poem ready for recital to the class for Monday 22nd January, as the class will be voting for the best 3 competitors to reach the Final.

I have included links to the poems in case they lose their copy, or forget to take it home.

Any questions then please let me know.

Happy New Year

Welcome back to Primary 5, they seem to have had a brilliant holiday!

Today it was my turn to bring something for Show and Tell…

Mrs Warrender!!!

Mrs Warrender came to visit the school, before she returns to Australia in a couple of weeks. The children were so excited and had lots of fantastic questions to ask her. Questions included ….Have you been bitten by any insects? Have you seen any crocodiles? What is you favourite Australian animal that you have seen? and What is your house like?

We will try and keep in touch with Mrs Warrender and maybe we can email her and ask about the learning the children do in Australia!

P7 Scottish Focus – Robert Burns

Happy New Year!

P7 have a very busy term ahead which will include preparing for the annual P6/P7 show – details to follow very soon! Before then we have our traditional Scottish Focus for the first 3 weeks of term. In P7 our focus will be the work of Robert Burns.

The poem choices for P7 are all by Robert Burns. Pupils will be given a choice but they can choose any other poem by Robert Burns that interests them, as long as it is of a suitable level of challenge for Primary 7. Some pupils may opt to learn an extract from Tam O’Shanter as an alternative to a whole poem.

To A Mouse

Scots Wha Hae

Address to a Haggis

To a Mountain Daisy

Tam O Shanter

In addition, P7 pupils will have a project to complete about the life and work of Robert Burns. This is due in on 16th February. A copy of the information sheet is attached.
