Primary 3

Primary 3 this week.

In Primary 3 this week, we learned how to tell the time in fifteen minute intervals in our maths (o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to). In literacy we focused on past, present and future tense sentences and wrote spelling words in our handwriting jotters, keeping to the correct lines and keeping our writing neat. In P.E. we worked on dribbling around cones and we played benchball on two courts now we understand the rules. We also created anti-bullying posters in the class and discussed what bullying is.

The children said –

John – I enjoyed maths this week. Learning quarter past, half past, quarter to and o’clock.

Andrew – I have enjoyed listening to our new class novel ‘The magic faraway tree’.

Aiden – I enjoyed playing benchball in PE this week and working in teams. You get a ball and you throw it to your teammate on the bench. The first team will everyone on the bench wins.

Lewis – I enjoyed writing past/present and future tense sentences.

Maizy – I enjoyed writing my spelling jotters in my handwriting jotter.

Sophia – I enjoyed playing benchball.

Maddie – I loved doing my anti-bullying poster.

P2/1 Learning Reflection W/E 8th November 2019

We have been very busy again this week.  In Literacy P1 have learned the ‘y’, ‘w’ and ‘th’ sounds and the tricky word so. We stuck wool on a yak, practised our letter formation, taught ted and coloured in a whale. P2 revised the ‘er’, ‘ou’ and ‘ow’ sounds. They searched for these words in a word search, played roll and read and coloured in real and non-sense words.  In numeracy P1 have explored adding. We have played games, used the linking tens to make 10 and used concrete materials such as counting bears to help us make friends of 5 and then 10. P2 have been exploring different strategies to use for subtracting such as count back and find the difference. We played race to zero, used a number line to work out answers and used Numicon to help us find the difference.  In Science we have been exploring day and night. In music with Dave we have been continuing to put music to a story about Josh and his granny. We have had the chance to play instruments such as a drum, a guitar etc. We invite you to come and share our Wee Story Big Sound learning on Wednesday 4th December at 11am. In P.E we practiced dribbling with the ball at our feet and played games. We have started to look at weather as our topic. We brainstormed what we knew and what we would like to know. We also identified different types of weather. We had our Star of the Week circle time. This week we got together with P1 and P2 and started to learn the songs for our nativity. On Friday we went to assembly. It was all about remembrance. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Hiba: “I enjoyed everything this week.”

Solomia: “I enjoyed all our learning this week.”

Olly: “I enjoyed colouring in the whale for the ‘w’ sound.”

Lucas: “I enjoyed learning about day and night with Miss Whigham.”

Murdo: “I liked the video during the assembly on remembrance.”

Connie: “I enjoyed assembly and singing the song we all need a rock.”

Ch: “I enjoyed everything.”

Christian: “I enjoyed the assembly about remembrance and music with Dave on Wednesday.”

Gabriel: “I enjoyed the story of Josh and Granny with Dave.”

Primary 6

P6 This week- 8.11.19

We loved learning about triangles and identifying the different types. Alina really enjoyed making them with nail boards and elastic bands. We learned more about decimals and tried some word problems involving them. In writing we learned about persuasive texts and how they are structured. Our badminton skills are improving and we have been learning about dancing in the 1940’s! As part of our WW2 project, we learned about rations and made a pie called Lord Woolton Pie-made from vegetables. Surprisingly, lots of us thought it was delicious and have taken the recipe home!
