P4 Window into Learning for Term 2
The Reading Champions #LookForABookScotland
This week on Wednesday the Reading Champions (Katy, Silvester, Luke, Matthew and Natalie) went out around Livingston to hide 16 books for the #LookForABookScotland challenge. It is all about taking your books out and hiding them around Scotland. Other people have to find them, read them and then choose if they want to hide or keep them. The Reading Champions took them to places such as, The Tennis and Football court, Mill Farm, Thirldfeild Wynde, Kirkfeild, West Lothian Coureer and The Livingston Old Parish Church. They all went out with Mrs Clyne and Mrs Findlay.
“We hid lots of books and many people coming back from school and at Mill Farm found them. We found two tweets from very happy people that have found them and said they are going to hide them again soon. I am so happy that people are enjoying the reading and taking part in the challenge.”-Katy
“I loved hiding the books in Mill Farm because we got to see all of the animals and some of us hadn’t been there in ages so it brought back good memories. We also found good hiding spots.”-Silvester
“It was very fun when we went out to loads of places for a whole morning up until break to hide books for lots of people and we saw their tweets in assembly today and it made us happy to see they were so enthusiastic about reading. We were sad to hear somebody through one in the river but one of the people in our class took their shoes and socks off to go in and get it well done Charlie!”-Natalie
“I was happy to hear that some people found our books. I love reading and am glad other people do to!”-Luke

Great week in P4
Finn – I liked doing the posters about Taking a Moment. It is good to know what to do when you are stressed out. It is good to draw.
Rohan – I liked when we were doing the assembly about Clachan Wullie because I was proud of our school for making the Clachan Wullie.
Olly – I liked doing writing in our writing lesson. I wrote about a fierce lion.
Elisha – I liked today’s assembly. I liked the new idea of Wonderful Walking because it will save a lot of bumps in the corridor.
Luke N – I like the new idea about the library and how you can get a card and scan it any time you want a new book to read.
Joe – I liked maths yesterday. I liked the fact families.
Sebastian – I like to do maths and learning adding.

Alexander – I liked the assembly today because it was fun. I liked the comment that said the more you read the more you’ll know, the more you learn the more places you’ll go.
P1 Weekly Reflection 4.10.19
This has been another busy week as we learned the sounds k, u and b. We began to use the school’s newly purchased PM Writing resource to support our writing. We were looking at a picture of Peep, the Pet Bird and talking about what we could see then naming these things. We looked at the sounds in the words and then talked about why saying the words on their own did not make sense. We then talked about making sentences and the children worked together to create the following:-
The girl has a pet bird. The bird drinks water. The bird eats seeds. The bird is yellow. The cage is white. The bird is cute. The bird looks beautiful.
The children were so proud of their efforts and we talked about the capital letter at the start of a sentence and the full stop at the end. Perhaps you could look for some capital letters and full stops in books at home?
In numeracy and maths this week we have been looking at patterns with colours and numbers. The children were very good at creating their own patterns with colour and thinking about the patterns on the bodies of zoo animals too. We have also been working on counting forwards and backwards within 20 and thinking about the number before and after. Please continue to practise this at home.
In PE this week the children have continued to develop their listening skills and ability to follow instructions by playing Traffic Lights.
Here are some of the children’s comments about their learning this week:-
Georgie “I learned the sound b. Bat starts with b.”
Lucia “I like the sound b too.”
Elloise “With Dave we did songs that are similar to the movies.”
Cole “I liked making 10 to 20 in my numbers.”
Albert “I remember number 8 and I got stickers for my writing.”
Isla “Learning b, bat, bed, book and bell”
Zac “I liked writing the story about Peep the pet bird. It was terrific.”
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
P6 this week
This week in P6 we have created WW2 art with Mrs. Fraser, we all got a little messy but it was fun. In P.E we did team dodge ball with Mrs. Smith and handball games as well, we did passing and moving games with handballs with Mrs. Fraser on Thursday. This week is Scottish maths Week and we did a game called join and cut with Mrs. Smith and with Mrs. Fraser, we did perimeter. We have been doing a piece of writing about rescue services- we had to do our first draft and a second draft. We had to have three main paragraphs about characteristics as well as an introduction and conclusion. On Friday we did some art and free writing and did an online bullying poster in our jotters.
