P5 reflection

Before we reflect on this busy week, just a reminder that P5 will be starting their Outdoor Learning lessons on Wednesday afternoon 7th October. Please ensure your child is dressed so that they can stay warm and dry.

There was a lot of new learning and activities in Primary 5 this week. Madame Moore from Inveralmond CHS came to visit this morning to teach us French. She was impressed by how much we have remembered from previous lessons. Madame Moore will be coming back every Thursday afternoon starting next week.

Emma M finally received her prize for the poetry competition she won during lockdown. Congratulations Emma!

We have watched a video from Mr Gourdie the school instrumental teacher about learning to play a brass instrument. A few of us were very interested in taking up this opportunity.

As part of Maths week Scotland we have been watching some videos of STEM Ambassadors talking about their jobs and how they use STEM subjects even in jobs where you wouldn’t think about it. We also heard some of them say how important it is to check and double check our work in case we make a mistake.

Freya – I liked when Madame Moore came this morning. It was fun to learn and I enjoyed it.

Finn – I liked the maths when it was learning about taking away with more than one exchange. I didn’t whizz through it because it was more challenging but it was good.

Jarrad – I liked the French with Madame Moore and I liked the PE. We learned some skills for hockey and I enjoyed it. On Tuesday it was fun when we were looking at the different leaf shapes in the garden. It started to rain and it was fun.

William – I like PE because I enjoy the laps around the field and I like the duck walks.

Olly – I enjoyed doing the card for Mrs Robertson because it was really quiet and I liked doing something nice for Mrs Robertson.

Labib – I liked PE when we did hockey and I also liked it when we did PE Bingo. I liked the Smart Start when we have to find as many words as we can. I liked doing French with Madame Moore.

Angus – I liked it when Mrs Sansom included Super Mario as one of the Odd One Out things during Smart Start. It was Mario’s 35th birthday.

Darcy – I liked doing the subtracting with more than one exchange because it was a challenge.

Luke – It is quite fun to be creating a cover for our book for French lessons.

Leo – I liked French with Madame Moore because it was fun and she was nice. I am enjoying making the cover for my French book.

P3 Learning Reflection – 02.10.20

P3 Learning Reflection – 02.10.20

We’ve had another super week learning lots of new things in P3, here are our highlights:

Charley: “I’ve enjoyed doing counting on and back in maths. We did really challenging problems like 110 + 41 and 105 – 30. I loved solving them!”

Emma: “I liked finishing our space writing. I drew a picture of the moon and moon dust I saw and collected when I visited. I also liked learning a new dance.”

Ayden: “I liked our outdoor learning afternoon. I learned about alive and dead materials outside and we planted food to investigate after the holidays.”

Rory: “This week learned how to play rounders in PE. There are two teams, the batters and the fielders. I had to get people from the other team out because I was a fielder.”

Gabriel: “I enjoyed using the counting back strategy in maths. I solved 360 – 222. It was hard but I felt good when I did it.”

Poppy: “Last week we made our class charter. I made a planet to represent me. It had two rainbows on it and a ring round it like Saturn.”

Lois: “I liked doing my Home Learning at home. I get to share it in class next week and I’m really excited!”

Isaac: “I’ve been writing a book in Free Writing Friday. It’s about a monster who tries to catch someone but he hurts himself and another monster comes to eat him. That’s all I’ve got just now but I’m going to write more.”

Nicholas: “I enjoyed writing about space. I wrote about my space suit, the rocket and landing on the moon. I drew pictures of these too.”

Lewis: “I liked outdoor learning. We got to go outside school and into the woods. We were searching for dead things. I found a dead leaf.”

That’s all from us – have a lovely weekend!

Primary 6

P6 learning wk.beg. 21.9.20

This week we have learned how to round a number up to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 and up to a million, it was pretty easy but some people struggled.

We have been writing a recount about lock down 🙂  We also did a  comprehension task which helped us to practise predicting what came next by looking for clues and evidence in the text, and using what we know.

We have learned about feelings and how they affect our body, and how they show to others.

We  did our didbook survey and today we all raised money for Macmillan cancer charity you could help too.

On wednesday we spent some time outside identifying leaves and trees,such as an oak tree and a holly bush.

P1 Learning reflection W/E 25.9.20

This has been a short but busy week in P1. We revised all our learned sounds and built words using the magnetic boards, so far we have learned: m, a, s, d, t, i, n, p, g, and o! In handwriting the children had to focus on using a good pencil grip and correct letter formation, some of the children managed to write some CVC words independently using learned sounds, fantastic! The children have started to use tickled pink and green for growth to self-assess their learning. For tickled pink the children highlight in pink one piece of super writing, then they use the green for growth highlighter to show something they need to practise more. In maths, the children have used beads, bricks, paint, ICT and pegboards to create their own repeated patterns using two or three different colours. You can access the ICT game they have enjoyed playing below:

Children’s Learning Highlights

Grace – We were drawing the things we like to smell and the things we don’t like to smell. I like to smell apple cake and I don’t like to smell Dad’s slippers.

Oliver – We did repeating colours, we made a repeating pattern. I made a necklace with red and orange!

Georgia – We were making words with the letters, I made ‘sam’.

Kyra – I liked handwriting, we did down the insect’s body and a dot for his head. The pink pen is for your best one and the green one if for your worst one.

Ella – I enjoyed playing in the garden.

Josh – Learning French, we learned to say hello, bonjour!

Grace – I have enjoyed colouring the little boy and girl who were saying bonjour to each other.

P3 Learning Reflection – 25.09.20

P3 Weekly Learning Reflection – 25.09.20

It’s been a short but busy week in P3. Here are some of our learning highlights that we’d like to share with you…

Poppy: “I’ve been enjoying all the space activities. I liked learning about all the different planets and designing our space class charter.”

Kaelan: “We went to space! We built rockets with our bodies and we even opened the hatch and explored all the space around us!”

Euan: “I learnt how to do the counting back strategy in maths. I find it really easy now I’ve practiced. The last question was really hard but I managed to do it. The answer was 66.”

Austin: “I enjoyed doing the 4 way Hoop Hop challenge in P.E. this week. There was 4 teams and you had to make it over to another team. All of your team have to end up at another starting point.”

Ziva: “I found the Hoop Hop in P.E. fun. You had to make sure you didn’t go down the same lane as someone else so you have to be careful and make sure you look about.”

Gabriel: “We made Colour Monster emotion hands in art last week. Each finger was a different emotion.”

Leo: “I enjoyed writing about when we went to space. I liked going on the journey, we built a rocket in groups and blasted off together!”

Hiba: “I liked learning how to do the counting back strategy in maths. You have to draw a number line, the biggest number goes to the left and then you chunk the other number and take it away from the biggest number.”

Murdo: “I liked doing the Hoop Hop challenge in P.E. because it was really fun. It was a lot harder doing it 4 different ways.”

James: “I really liked going to space with the class. We built everything we needed with our bodies. We collected space dust and rocks to take back to earth with us.”

Last week in P4

Good afternoon,

Apologies for this post’s late arrival, I had some technical issues on Friday.

This week in P4:

In Literacy, we planned our first draft of our recount writing about a lesson the class had really enjoyed from the previous week; where we went out to the garden to explore for items and listed the nouns and adjectives to describe them. We also continued our work in spelling, this week in different groups to work on sounds/spelling rules.

In Maths, we are nearly finished working on our place value. We were also counting forwards and backwards in 2’s,5’s,10’s and 100’s and looking at the pattern on the 100 square/1000 square.

We worked on our HWB focus on the film ‘Inside Out’, comparing ‘Fear’ and ‘Disgust’ then the traits of ‘Sadness’.

In PE, we finished working on our fitness techniques and were lucky enough to have an introduction to hockey from our schools Primary 7 sports captains (socially distanced). The class each had a stick and ball which they used, with were then cleaned before and after use to ensure health and safety procedures were followed. Primary Four washed their hands before and after PE.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend,

Mrs Love

P6 Sharing the Learning Wk.Beg.14.9.20

One of the highlights this week was practising our discussion skills.  Remembering to listen was difficult when we had so much to say and wanted to share our opinions.  The topics were fun such as ‘Blue is a special colour.’ ,   ‘We do not need oceans.’ ,  ‘Ten is not a real number.’ and It is important to have something to believe in.’We had to remember to listen to others so we could respond, and we had to try and think up different responses and ideas.

We enjoyed maths and our teachers really made us think about how we get to an answer.

We learned about coding this week and created some animations, it was fun and can’t wait to do it again.

We went outside to revise our knowledge of nouns and proper nouns with a alphabet scavenger hunt.  The letter x, y and z were really hard.

Primary 1

P1 Learning Reflection W/E 18.9.20

This week in P1 we have been learning the sounds o and g. In numeracy, we have been counting and sorting numbers and finding the number before.  P1 enjoyed playing bean bag games for outdoor PE this week. Please see below for some of the children’s comments about their learning highlights from this week.

Kaylan – I enjoyed playing outside

Jessica – I liked playing the game with the beanbags

Izaan – Learning the sound ‘o’ and ‘g’

Josh – Learning about ‘o’ we painted ‘o‘ and did tell ted. You have to tell the teddy and show them how to do ‘o‘, you go all the way around the orange.

Kyra – I liked music,  we thought about how the music makes us feel. I felt like I was dancing in a party.
