Below is the timetable for P4-7 for the week beginning 25.01.21.
Please note that P5 check-in time has moved to the slightly earlier time of 9:20am.
Also, the second check-in times are now for smaller groups of children. The teacher will invite the children that she wishes to work with during a particular session, via teams. They will be notified earlier in the day if they are needed to attend the second session.
Below are the live sessions for P4-7 learning this week.
There was much excitement today as the children’s Christmas cards arrived. If you didn’t get yours they will be sent home with your child tomorrow. The Parent Council are aware of errors in printing and would ask parents to contact them so they can work with the company to organise a refund. They apologise for any inconvenience and upset this has caused. The school would like to thank those who have supported this fundraising venture and hope everyone has a lovely festive break.
Christmas activities galore this week, but somehow also managing to fit in maths, literacy and PE as well. Fabulous effort from everyone.
Next week we will have our last Mandarin lesson from our lovely tutors in Shanghai. Did you know they come online to teach us at 9:15pm their time? Somehow they are always happy and cheerful even after a long day of studying.
Here are a few of our reflections from this week:
Teme – I liked learning the sign language for the 8th day of Christmas. It was hard to remember the moves but I liked trying to do it.
Freya – I liked the Panto today. It was quite funny because the pantomime dame, Dame Trott, was funny.
Luke N – I enjoyed French yesterday because it was cool learning about what they eat at Christmas. The panto was cool too and I liked the wordsearch sheet about it.
Labib – I enjoyed spelling yesterday. I enjoyed the writing a discussion about should Mandarin be compulsory in primary schools.
Jarrad – I liked the panto because the cow Buttercup blew the wolf away by the smell from its bottom!
Angus – I liked designing Christmas googles for Rudolph the reindeer. I had lots of good ideas.
Leo – I liked spelling this week. I like how some words have silent k or silent b.
Blake – I liked the panto – who doesn’t like a panto?!
P5 have once again had a week full of great learning. Here are some of the pupils’ comments.
Olly – I really enjoyed learning the 6x table. When I told Mum and Dad they started testing me at home. I was excited to be learning the 9x table today.
Emma F – I loved French this week. We were learning how to say some pets. I like une tortue – a tortoise.
Lakshya – It was good to do revision of pets in French. I would like to have un chat.
Finn – We are learning some animals in French. The crossword we did really got me thinking.
Darcy – In French I liked the worksheet. On the last question you had to try and write a whole sentence. It was a good opportunity.
Luke C – On PE on Monday I liked it because we got to choose our games and the whole class chose Chaos Tig and that is my favourite Tig game.
Luke N – I think it was interesting when we had to think about For and Against answers for Should learning Mandarin be compulsory for all Scottish primary school pupils? There were lots of things other people said that I hadn’t thought of.
Angus – In PE on Thursday it was good because we did lots of fun exercises and my legs still hurt.
Jarrad – I liked my CLIC maths sheet today. I am hoping I get 10/10.
Labib – I liked RME with Mr Keast because we were learning about Islam and I am a muslim so it was interesting for me.
Friday 27th November will be ‘Chocolate Friday’. Children can come dressed down but instead of £1, it would be much appreciated if they could bring a chocolate donation for the Tombola stall which we will hold in school on Friday 4th December.
If your child wishes to participate in the Chocolate Tombola on Friday 4th December, they should bring their money in a sealed envelope, clearly marked with their name and how many tickets they wish to purchase.
Further news of our Christmas class enterprise items will follow in the near future.
Thanks for your support with our Christmas fundraising.
As always P5 have had a busy week of learning. Here are some of our highlights.
Emma F – I am enjoying the Mandarin lessons. This week we learned numbers to 100 and about how people in China celebrate birthdays.
Kaitlyn – I enjoyed the lesson with Sandie from the zoo. It was about Giant Pandas and it was really interesting.
Lakshya – It was really good when Madame Moore was teaching us how to say different pets in French.
Leo – We went to the church to show our respect to the soldiers who died in wars. We left our poppy stones to show our respect.
Olly – It was really interesting to learn how Giant Pandas hold bamboo. They have an extra bit on their wrist that is like a thumb. I liked the books we used to do our spelling this week.
Kayden – I liked doing multiplying by 10 and I liked learning about the giant pandas.
Emma M – It was interesting to find out about the giant panda. We learned that it has a bigger rounder head than a black bear so that it is strong enough to chew the bamboo.
Jarrad – I liked learning about baby pandas. They are so small and they don’t look like pandas when they are born.
There has been so much learning in Primary 5 again this week. We learned about angles and compass points in outdoor learning when once again we were fortunate to have lovely weather for this session. In health and wellbeing we have considered safety around fireworks and thought about what compassion is and how we can show it.
Blake – I liked drawing the Christmas card because it helps my drawing because I could watch a tutorial online to help me improve my drawing skills.
Emma M – I like to learn about perimeter in maths because I can now measure my garden to see how long it is.
Harris – I liked painting the poppies on the stones because it was fun and I like the look of them.
Olly – I enjoyed ERIC time this week because I got to do crosswords and word crosses.
Leo – I liked how we saw a powerpoint for remembrance day and enjoyed painting the poppies. We learned about 2 people who earned the Victoria Cross because they didn’t give up.
Kayden – I liked the painting the poppies because it had to have different layers. I enjoyed the cards and learning how to search to draw things.
Jarrad – I liked learning about the people who won the Victoria Cross because they were brave and helped in the war.
Labib – I enjoyed learning about perimeter. I enjoyed Mandarin and learning about the great wall of China. Also learning more about friction with Mr Keast.
Emma F – I enjoyed learning about numbers in Mandarin.
Lakshya – I liked French with Madame Moore because we learned how to say Mum, Dad, Gran and Grandpa.
Darcy – I liked doing French because we got to do a worksheet with a family tree on it. It was a bit of a challenge.
Finn – I liked when we were doing science with Mr Keast and had different boards out and rolling cars to see how far they would go. I thought the felt wouldn’t go far but I was right. It was about friction.
Luke – I enjoyed the Mandarin and learning about the great wall of China. It takes more than 18 months to walk along the whole wall!
