P2 This Week (17.6.19)

We enjoyed taking part in Fitness Fortnight this week. Zach really enjoyed the football, Sophia enjoyed Judo and Bootcamp and Holly liked running around the field- she is going to try and do better next week when we do our Fun Run. Everyone had fun taking part in Sports Day. Yesterday, Mrs Brown led the school in exercise to music, which was great fun. We liked wearing our own clothes to school for a change. Maddie really liked designing a disgusting sandwich to scare away the seagulls- just like Mrs Grinling in the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch! We also watched the Lunch Bunch which was fun learning too!

P1 have been thoroughly enjoying our first week of fitness fortnight. On Monday we took part in sports day and loved all the different activities. On Tuesday we went to boot camp in the morning and football in the afternoon. On Wednesday we enjoyed meeting our new teacher and playing playground games with P1b. On Thursday we had great fun at aerobics with Mrs Brown where we were doing lunges, squats, the Highland fling plus lots more. We also enjoyed a taster session of Judo. In literacy this week we have been revising the sounds and tricky words learned this year. In writing we wrote about what we are looking forward to in Primary 2. In numeracy and maths this week we have been revising giving change from 10p and playing mental maths games. We have also been learning about the names of our body parts and talking about families and how they are all unique. On Thursday we had our star of the week circle time and Coben is our star of the week. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

P1b Learning Reflection for W/E 14.06.19

Poppy – I liked doing the assembly, I was a caterpillar. The singing part was good, I like the caterpillar song.

Hiba – My assembly was my highlight because the song is cool.

Austin – I liked the one planet picnic. We had snacks with no litter or waste. I had my snack in a box.

Teria –  I liked maths this week. We are learning about directions. We can communicate with the beebot so that it goes to the left and right and forward and backwards.

Charley – I liked the assembly. I liked wearing the butterfly wings. It was about the life cycle of a butterfly. First a butterfly lays an egg on a leaf then a caterpillar hatches out. It eats its egg shell then leaves. Then it makes a chrysalis and turns into a butterfly.

Solomia – I like wearing the hats in assembly. I had an egg on a leaf for the assembly.

James – I liked our assembly because it was about the life cycle of a butterfly. My favourite part is the song. We had hats on, I was a caterpillar.

Subhan – I liked the one planet picnic.  We had healthy stuff, I had carrot and grapes.

Sushanth – I liked the assembly. I got three speaking parts. I said, we like to call ourselves caterpillars. My second one is, but then we start to have so many problems, our skill feels too small and our body feels too big. The last one is, this is the third stage the pupa stage!

Alister – I liked the assembly. Because we were all saying our words and everybody got a part. Our mummies and daddies and grannies and grandads came to see it.

Lewis – I liked the assembly. I was caterpillar 5!

Kaelan – I liked the P1 assembly. I liked the hungry caterpillar story. I told everyone about a chrysalis and then it popped out with a beautiful butterfly.

Christian – We did our assembly. I said thank you for being a quality audience!

P1a Learning Reflection W/E 14th June

In Literacy this week P1 have learned the new sound ‘oa’ as in boat and the tricky word watch. We taught ted how to write oa words, played roll and read, wrote the oa sound and oa words and completed a worksheet all about oa. In writing we wrote about our magic moments from our year in Primary 1. There was quite a range from learning how to read to taking part in our nativity. In Maths this week we were continuing to learn about symmetry and created more symmetrical patterns. In Numeracy we practised our doubles and number bonds to 20 through playing games. We held our star of the week circle time and Ziva is our new star. On Wednesday we had our sharing assembly for challenging our mind set. The majority of the week was taken up with preparation for our assembly about the life cycle of a butterfly. We had great fun learning our lines and song. Miss Maclachlan is very proud of how quick we learned our lines and how confident we have all become. We hope you enjoyed our assembly and thank you for coming along. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Ch: “I enjoyed all of our assembly.”

Sam: “I enjoyed assembly. I loved singing the song even although kneeling hurt my knees.”

Ziva: “I enjoyed assembly and watching the Hungry Caterpillar.”

Ayden: “I found learning the new sound oa easy.”

P3 Weekly Update

Last week we were developing our understanding of telling the time using analogue and digital clocks.  We learned to tell the time in 5 minute intervals and we all know that there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day.  We also learned that AM refers to the morning and PM refers to times after 12noon and before midnight.

In literacy, we were learning the spelling rules for adding ‘ing’ to words to make present tense verbs.  In writing we started thinking about the features of an adventure story and we began to plan out characters for our own adventure stories.

We has a visit from the SSPCA and we learned about looking after rabbits by taking part in the Rabbit Rescuers workshop.

The children have now completed their Bikability Training and are looking forward to practising riding their bikes over the summer.  Mrs Hill is hoping to take the children on a cycle ride around the village at the beginning of Primary 4.

We enjoyed performing at the assembly. We liked doing the mini beasts song and the butterfly song. We worked hard to learn our speaking parts. At first we were  a little bit nervous, but then it was okay. Everyone like what they were doing. In writing we finished our storyboards about Mr Grinling. We learned about Grace Darling and how she saved nine people during a stormy night and looked after them in her lighthouse. We watched the lunch-bunch and learned about healthy eating. We have been learning about asking questions using question words and question marks. We continued to learn about division. We also made graphs and asked questions of each other about the information on the graph.
