All about assembly

Wow! What a great assembly from P7 today. It was very informative about Japan and what it’s like to live there. From details like population, volcanoes, islands and where in the world it is, to what houses are like inside and manga artwork. There was also a lot of self-evaluation regarding what went well and what could have gone better. Pupils shared their writing and artwork too.

I just want to confirm that P7 arranged the whole assembly themselves. My only job was to merge all the different presentations into one. I am so proud of everyone for their input. Well done!

You can look at a pdf of the PowerPoint here: Assembly

P2 This Week

In Number Talks the children have been using their knowledge of doubles to solve addition problems. They went outdoors to start our learning about measure. In phonics they have continued their learning about magic ‘e’ words with a focus on the u-e sound. The children enjoyed sharing their news about their October holidays in Circle Time. In PE we played ball games. We have started practicing our parts for the class assembly on Friday 2nd November at 9:15. Come and join us if you can.

P3 Weekly Reflection 26.10.18

This week saw the children enjoying their new reading area, we hope we can use this area to increase personal enjoyment in reading.  We also started our Book of the Week presentations and Darcy shared Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down by Jeff Kinney.  She thought this was a good choice as it is a book that is funny and will appeal to everyone.

Kayden enjoyed number work this week. Luke N enjoyed learning about the Wellbeing Indicators and having to thinking of his own images to represent these.  The children will be learning more about the Wellbeing Wheel over the coming weeks.  Finn says an easy way to remember it is by remembering the word SHANARRI which stands for Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included.

Joe said his highlight was when we wrote summaries of our learning about the Food and Farming topic.  All of the children were impressed by how much we had could remember.

Lakshya particularly enjoyed our spelling task this week when we worked with a partner to practise our words using beanbags.  The children had to pass the beanbag as they said a letter to spell out the word.  This week we have been revising rules about plurals.

Next week we will begin our new topic on Inventors and we will be thinking about some spooky writing for Halloween.

Have a lovely weekend.

This week in Primary 6…

This is the first time P6 have done the blog themselves so Miss Marnie and Miss Greig could have a break. (Just kidding!) We all enjoyed it. We also enjoyed learning how to use speech marks.

 

The basketball team have a tournament later today and I’m looking forward to it. – Logan F

In Spanish this week we were learning about food. We had to design our own Spanish menus.

“It was good to learn lots of different foods in Spanish!” – Lewis
“I really enjoyed it, because in my restaurant I want it to be a nice posh one.” – Katy
“I really liked designing the menu because it was challenging!” – Logan F

“At the roundabout we had to signal. It was really hard.”-Charlie

“At the roundabout it was really hard because there was a van behind me and a motorbike to my right and a car to my left”-Silvester

P1a Learning Reflection W/E 26/10/18

Welcome back! We hope you had a relaxing holiday. We are very lucky  as this week we have been joined by Miss Fraser. Miss Fraser will be with us for five weeks. This week we have been revising the sounds already learned and in particular the sounds u and b. In writing,  we wrote about our family. Our target was copying an adult’s writing from a white board. In Maths, we have been investigating shapes. We identified 2D shapes and 3D shapes. “2D shape is a flat shape.”says Isaac. “3D shapes are not flat.” says Ayden. Some of us went on a shape walk around the school. When we found a shape we took a photo of it.  We also sorted shapes as to whether they had round sides or straight sides. In music we were playing instruments along to the story of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. We used instruments to make the sounds of the grass, water, mud, wind and forest. In art, we created our own planet by printing with paint and bubble wrap. We also coloured in a space rocket. Pictures of our planets to follow when they are finished.

Here are some of the children’s reflections:

Ayden: “I enjoyed revising our sounds.”

Euan: ” I also enjoyed revising our sounds.”

Ziva: ” I liked practising the sounds already learned.”

Leighton: ” I enjoyed making my planet in art.”

Leo: ” I found it tricky when copying my sentence  about my family.”

Ch: ” I found number talks tricky.”

Isaac: ” I found tricky the numbers in our dot patterns this week.”
