What has been happening in P3

February 18, 2022 A Love

Good afternoon,

I hope that you enjoyed the long weekend at the beginning of this week.

Primary three have been working hard on their writing projects over the past few weeks. They have been making and creating their own mythical creatures using new sketching and drawing skills, and working with clay and paint. They have written their first draft of their information report all about their mythical creatures that they have created. P3 have learned all about the myths and legends of Scottish creatures and have used this information, along with their visit to the Kelpies to produce their own myth.

In numeracy, we have been working on our times tables. This week we have started looking at our three times table. We have now learned our 2, 4, 8, 5 and 10 times tables.

As it was Random Act of Kindness Day on Thursday, the class discussed acts of kindness and what they could do around the school and at home.

The class are continuing to develop their joining of letters in handwriting.

In PE, we have been learning about badminton and practising bouncing the shuttlecock with the racket, passing to partners and practising various ways to serve.

Have a lovely weekend.

P1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 18th February 2022

February 18, 2022 Miss MacLachlan

What a busy but short week for P1. In Literacy we have learned the ‘oy’ long vowel sound and the red word be. We have written words with ‘oy’, built words on our magnetic boards, played roll and read and connect 5.

In Maths this week we have been exploring sharing and grouping. We looked at and can now explain what is meant by a fair share. We played make it fair, created a fair share picnic for our teddies, completed chilli challenges where we had to sit frogs equally on logs and helped Dan, Dom and Dora the dragons share out their gems fairly.

We have been continuing to think and learn about superheroes. We drew our superheroes, wrote superhero names and phrases on fabric to decorate our superhero den, discussed characteristics of a superhero and made superhero potions. A few of the girls watched a draw a long and drew their own Elsa pictures. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I liked making our superhero potions in the tuff spot.” Angus

“I enjoyed making superhero potions.” Lyla

“I enjoyed making superhero potions using characteristics such as strong.” Ayaat

“A superhero is strong. I made a potion to make superhero powers.” Orlaith

“I enjoyed thinking about what makes a superhero.” Leo

“Spiderman can shoot webs. He is a superhero.” David

“I learned about sharing equally and making a fair share.” Emma

“I liked mixing the coloured water and making potions.” Gracie

Have a lovely weekend

P2 Learning Reflection for W/E 18.02.22

February 18, 2022 Ms King

Josh – I liked making the boat. We made it for Skipper to sail through his life. We used problem solving skills by letting everybody’s ideas be included.

Ella – I liked doing the gymnastics. We were using working together skills. It means that you work with someone to figure it out!

Oliver – I liked making the boat. We were building it so Skipper could sail through the river.

Arianna – I liked counting on with numbers. I was counting on in 2.

Nathan – We were spelling words with the nk and ng sounds.

Elyas – I liked talking about the storm. There is a red warning in England it is going to be really windy. In Scotland it will be snowing, we have a yellow warning. The storm is called Storm Eunice!

Rhy-lee – I liked doing gymnastics. We made up a routine. We looked at the cards and used some of the balances. We did rock paper scissors to decide who would pick a move.

Louis – We needed to try and build a bridge so Twitch couldn’t fall. We made a stand at the bottom and made a bridge so Twitch could walk. The stand was so it couldn’t fall down. I asked Nathan to make a stand and I started building the bridge and Alexander did the last piece to make it all. We were solving problems.

Georgia – I liked free play. We are playing schools and I was the teacher. I was reporting back to the parents if the children were being good or not. I had a note book and I had to say who was being good!

Thea – I enjoyed gymnastics. We were doing jumps, two balances and then rocket. We used balance skills to stay straight!

Olivia – I enjoyed gymnastics. Me and Alexander were making a routine. We took turns each to pick a balance. We worked together to make our routine.

Willow – I liked when we done the Twitch thing! We had to build a bridge for Twitch. We used paper to build our bridge. We had to talk and listen to each other to make the bridge.

Alexander – We were building the sides to make a house. We are trying to build a wall to do it but that can’t work. It doesn’t work because it builds at the side but it does not work in the middle. I am trying to do that on Monday!

Kyra – I was in the big bricks group. We made a PlayStation on the bridge so Twitch could play. We also had a little basket so he could bring the nuts back. Our bridge was good then it fell because it wasn’t strong enough. If we put a stand underneath it would be stronger!

Caleb – We did the nk spelling sound. I know think, sink and drink!

Grace – I was on holiday this week. I enjoyed making a pantomime with my cousins it was called Bairns in the Magic Forest!

P2-1 Weekly Reflection 18.02.22

February 18, 2022 Mrs Clyne

Well it might have been a quick week but it’s been a busy one!

In Literacy P1 have been learning the sound oy and had fun playing Connect Five using real and nonsense words. P2 have been learning about nouns and discussed the difference between common nouns and proper nouns. In writing we have been continuing with our special stories ahead of our author’s reveal on World Book Day. We are very excited to share our writing with you.

In numeracy we have been thinking about Place Value to 50 and had great fun using different materials to make groups of ten to make 50. We have been counting forwards and backwards within 50, here’s another Jack Hartmann song to support our learning if you want to listen again at home. We have also been learning to tell the time using half past and have been matching digital and analogue times.
