P4 Learning Reflections – 22.4.22

I enjoyed Drama this week.  I found it really fun and funny. I was the Lazy Farm Helper and I wiggled my bottom!  I found maths tricky because we had to solve word problems with fractions.  I enjoyed PE because we had to hit the ball with our hands.  It was really challenging. – Leighton

I liked Maths because it was hard and difficult.  We were learning fractions. – Christian

I really enjoyed Drama.  It was fun and silly.  I also liked catching and throwing the ball when learning Tennis in PE yesterday. – Poppy

This week we did Lazy Farm Helper in Drama.  We played a new warm up game called Snowball.  Someone stands in front of the class and has to mime a job or a place. Mime is when you don’t talk but use your body.  It was really fun.  I can’t wait for next week’s Drama lesson with Julie and Louise (and Mrs Brodie). – Lois

Happy Easter P3!

Fantastic week this week P3. We continued learning about fractions in our Numeracy. In literacy, we are in the final stages of our recount writing. We learned a lot about Maundy Thursday and Easter in RME and lots of facts about Tutankhamun for IDL.

To top it all off, P3 loved taking part in an Easter Digi Day with the support and help of the LVPS Digital Champions. Thank you leaders!

Here is some more information about Easter Digi Day:

P2-1 Weekly Reflection 01.04.22

Today marks the end of another busy term and we had great fun participating in our 2nd Digi Day. Thanks to our Digi Champs for planning such fun activities and to our P7 leaders for supporting us in our play. We have been playing Sumdog on the iPads and laptops, feeding Easter eggs to the teddy in the game Teddy Numbers on the Smartboard and tried to build a tower to hold an egg. We also had a visit from some P5s who had been busy building a vehicle and let us try it out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week we have been learning about Needs and Wants and considering Children’s Rights. We know that we need clean air, water, clothing, shelter and medicine to survive so these are the things we need. We discussed the things we would like to make life more comfortable and some of us wanted tvs, phones and computers. I wonder how many of us could live without these if we had to?

Our P7 leaders came to talk about Sustainability Goals and in particular Zero Hunger, they gave us a super presentation. We discussed that some people do not have much food and that we should be grateful for what we have to eat and not waste food. We talked about how some people do not have much food and need to use Foodbanks, we can help by giving donations to the Foodbank if we are able to.

In Literacy, we continued with revising set 2 and set 3 sounds and the P2s were practising words with consonant blends. In Numeracy, we have continued to practise our number bonds to 20 and we have begun to explore measure using a ruler.

In RME we were learning about why we celebrate Easter.  Theo reminded us that “Easter is a celebration of Jesus’ sacrifice” and Ethan told us that people celebrate by having egg hunts. Cooper reminded us that “the egg is for the stone that was rolled away”.

Our Almondell House winners enjoyed a lovely egg hunt in the school garden and also enjoyed some Easter crafts in the gym hall.

Miss Whigham and I would like to wish all our children and families a very happy and safe Easter and we look forward to seeing the children back on Tuesday 19th April.

P1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 1st April 2022

Good afternoon. P1 have been very busy this week. In Literacy we learned the ur and er sounds and red word what. We wrote words, created a spelling flower, played roll and read and snakes and ladders. In writing we worked in pairs to create an acrostic poem all about Easter.

In Numeracy we have been counting in 2s. We have enjoyed singing and dancing along to Jack Hartmann’s song. Click on the link below to listen

We have also been learning about subtraction and different strategies to help us. We have been using Numicon, rekenreks, counters and ten frames and our number lines.

This week we have been exploring all things Easter. We created Easter chick cards, line patterned bunnies, sequenced the Easter story and created patterned Easter eggs in the tuff spot. On Thursday afternoon we made chocolate nests. We had to melt the chocolate which started as a solid, then mix in rice crispies and lastly scoop them into our case. We then got to add some eggs. On Friday we thoroughly enjoyed our Easter themed digi day. We worked together to create towers which we could balance eggs on, made a car which could transport eggs, fed teddy the right number of Easter eggs and tried to make something Easter related on Scratch junior. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I enjoyed building with the gears to make a tower to balance some eggs.” Emily

“I liked subtracting with the number lines.” Angus

“I liked building a transporter for the Easter eggs.” Aaron

“We enjoyed all our jobs this week.” David and Leo

“I enjoyed digi day.” Lyla

“I enjoyed playing with the robot that followed your pen lines.” Ayaat

“I liked spelling Easter with Beebot.” Ishanvi

Have a lovely Easter Holidays

P2-1 Weekly Reflection 25.03.22

Today we were very excited to lead our first ever class assembly. We chose the theme of Mother’s Day because this Sunday is when we celebrate Mother’s Day in the UK and we can say thanks to our mums for everything they do for us. We drew some lovely pictures of our mums and told our audience why our mums are special to us. These are just some of the reasons we gave.

“My mum is special because we do lots of fun things together.” Cara

“My mum is special because she is kind to me.” Mohnish

“My mum is special because she cuts my hair and she is the best cook ever. She gives me brand new toys.” Dexter

“My mum is really funny. She plays pranks on me and tells me jokes and it makes me laugh.” Ethan

“My mum is special because she takes care of me and my family.” Dylan

“My mum is special because she makes yummy breakfast for me.” Jack

These are some of the beautiful pictures we drew of our mums.

As part of our assembly we learned some new songs but our favourite one was The Mother’s Day Song, have a listen and you’ll see all the great ways (or not!) we can help our mums. We have also been busy creating a special surprise for our mums which we are sure they are going to love!

In Numeracy this week we have practised odd and even numbers, revisited number bonds to 20 and begun to explore measurement by considering length and height. We had great fun trying to find items which were shorter and longer than a spoon and then we practised measuring different items in the classroom using non-standard units from around the class.

In literacy we have been revising our Set 2 and Set 3 sounds with a particular focus on consonant blends ng and nk for P2 and the split digraph i-e for P1. We have also been practising our red words to build up our fluency in reading. If you have time please practise these at home by clicking on this link, red-words.

This week we have been enjoying the lovely weather and we hope the sunshine continues over the weekend for our Mums’ special day! Have a great weekend.

Primary 1

P1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 25th March 2022

Good afternoon.

In Literacy we have learned the sounds ‘aw’ and ‘are’. We played ‘aw’ snakes and ladders, ‘are’ roll and read, taught ted how to write ‘aw’, looked for ‘are’ words in a story and word search. In writing we wrote an acrostic poem about our mums.

In Maths we explored subtraction. First of all, we looked at subtraction within 10 then we started to look at subtraction within 20. We used Numicon, number lines, counters and playdough to help us. We found the missing number in subtraction sentences using playdough, got our bus to school by answering subtracting within 10 questions, practised our counting backwards and played Robot Less than on the computers.

We explored the story of the Hungry Caterpillar on Monday. We looked at the different stages in a butterfly’s life cycle, sequenced the story using pictures and learned how to draw a butterfly. This week we have explored Spring. We brainstormed what we knew about spring, played spring bingo, I Spy and created blossom tree paintings. On Friday we had assembly. It was Primary 2/1’s assembly and it was all about Mother’s day. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Jessica- “I liked playing the washing machine game in gym.”

Finlay – “I liked playing at superheroes with the boys in the bricks.”

David – “I liked doing the parachute in the gym hall.”

Matthew- “I liked playing the cat and mouse game.”

Mia – “I was drawing a picture of Miss Maclachlan, me and my brother.”

Leo – “I was building a superhero den in the bricks.”

Emily – “I liked learning about Bees and running in PE.”

Lyla – “I liked making surprise pictures for my mummy.”

Have a lovely weekend.

This Week in P3 – W.C. 14.3.22

In P3 this week, we have been learning…

In Numeracy and Maths, we started learning about fractions. Looking at the numerator, denominator and fraction bar. Then learned about unit and non-unit fractions. We used the concrete materials to build a Fraction Museum and took our partners on a tour of our Museum’s! We then were able to show our understanding of fractions by answering questions in a Kahoot quiz.

We took part in some wonderful lessons from the National Museum’s Scotland all about Dinosaurs which linked in well with British Science Week this week!

The STEM leaders worked with the class today to plant seeds into gloves using cotton wool balls. We will watch these grow and develop.

Happy Red Nose Day everyone!
