P7 Update

Our thoughts on this week…

Kieran – I struggled on percentages , decimals and fractions but now I know how to do them a lot quicker after practising this week.

Brooke – I think that the auditions for this years p7-p6 show went OK for me trying to do a accent was hard for me

Sophie – In maths we are doing percentages, decimals and fractions and from last week I know that I am getting better at it and I feel a lot more confident.

Bobby – Auditioning for the show was really hard especially since I had to go last because I saw how well the others did and was even more nervous than I was before, but I think overall I did OK because I didn’t forget any lines.

Erin – We did auditions this week and I think that I did really good and I hope that I get the part!

Katie – On Wednesday some of us did P6 to P7 show and I was the only one going for Gravel and I think I done really well.    🙂

Miss Marnie and I have been blown away by the talent demonstrated during the auditions for Rock Bottom this week. Well done to everyone who participated, we have a very difficult time ahead, trying to decide on the casting.

Robert Burns projects are due in on Friday 15th. I am very impressed that some pupils have already handed theirs in and they look great.

Have a good weekend everyone, and I look forward to hearing all about it on Monday.

P2 This Week

P2 have been learning to tell the time with o’clock and 1/2 past. They have worked on balancing simple equations using cubes and pan balances to help them. Mrs Aitken came to visit on Wednesday to help up learn sounds using Vowel House, which was lots of fun. We wrote Friendship Recipes and welcomed Quiet Critters into our classroom. We want them to stay so we are going to work very hard to create a quiet classroom. As it was Chinese New Year this week, we created beautiful Ming vases using paint and pastel. We also had fun watching Aiden’s dad repair the pagoda- thank you!

Well done to Pola for being last week’s star of the week and John who had the privileges this week!

P1a Learning Reflection W/E 8th February

This week P1 have been learning long vowel sounds. We have learned the sounds ay and ee. We used these sounds to make words on our magnetic boards, taught ted, made real or nonsense words and wrote ay and ee words on a worksheet. We held a sentence in our heads then wrote it down. In writing we worked in pairs to write acrostic poems about winter. In Maths this week we have been learning to read o clock and half past times on both analogue and digital clocks. In art we were starting to recreate Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s iconic rose picture. In science we were looking at what we use water for and the water cycle. In P.E we were learning about team work. We were split into four teams and we had to collect beanbags and toys. The winning team was the team that collected the most toys and bean bags. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Ch: “I found it hard trying to draw the rose.”

Ziva: “I enjoyed learning the ee sound and doing the worksheet.”

Rory: “I found it hard to copy the rose design.”

Leighton: “I found it a bit tricky drawing the rose.”

Ayden: “I found it easy writing the times on the clocks during maths.”

Lois: “I found learning about time hard.”

Euan: “I found it easy writing the ‘ee’ sound.”
