P2 This Week (17.6.19)

We enjoyed taking part in Fitness Fortnight this week. Zach really enjoyed the football, Sophia enjoyed Judo and Bootcamp and Holly liked running around the field- she is going to try and do better next week when we do our Fun Run. Everyone had fun taking part in Sports Day. Yesterday, Mrs Brown led the school in exercise to music, which was great fun. We liked wearing our own clothes to school for a change. Maddie really liked designing a disgusting sandwich to scare away the seagulls- just like Mrs Grinling in the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch! We also watched the Lunch Bunch which was fun learning too!

P1b Learning Reflection for W/E 14.06.19

Poppy – I liked doing the assembly, I was a caterpillar. The singing part was good, I like the caterpillar song.

Hiba – My assembly was my highlight because the song is cool.

Austin – I liked the one planet picnic. We had snacks with no litter or waste. I had my snack in a box.

Teria –  I liked maths this week. We are learning about directions. We can communicate with the beebot so that it goes to the left and right and forward and backwards.

Charley – I liked the assembly. I liked wearing the butterfly wings. It was about the life cycle of a butterfly. First a butterfly lays an egg on a leaf then a caterpillar hatches out. It eats its egg shell then leaves. Then it makes a chrysalis and turns into a butterfly.

Solomia – I like wearing the hats in assembly. I had an egg on a leaf for the assembly.

James – I liked our assembly because it was about the life cycle of a butterfly. My favourite part is the song. We had hats on, I was a caterpillar.

Nicholas – I love assembly. I was an egg on a leaf.

Subhan – I liked the one planet picnic.  We had healthy stuff, I had carrot and grapes.

Sushanth – I liked the assembly. I got three speaking parts. I said, we like to call ourselves caterpillars. My second one is, but then we start to have so many problems, our skill feels too small and our body feels too big. The last one is, this is the third stage the pupa stage!

Alister – I liked the assembly. Because we were all saying our words and everybody got a part. Our mummies and daddies and grannies and grandads came to see it.

Lewis – I liked the assembly. I was caterpillar 5!

Kaelan – I liked the P1 assembly. I liked the hungry caterpillar story. I told everyone about a chrysalis and then it popped out with a beautiful butterfly.

Christian – We did our assembly. I said thank you for being a quality audience!

P2 This Week-7/6/19

We enjoyed performing at the assembly. We liked doing the mini beasts song and the butterfly song. We worked hard to learn our speaking parts. At first we were  a little bit nervous, but then it was okay. Everyone like what they were doing. In writing we finished our storyboards about Mr Grinling. We learned about Grace Darling and how she saved nine people during a stormy night and looked after them in her lighthouse. We watched the lunch-bunch and learned about healthy eating. We have been learning about asking questions using question words and question marks. We continued to learn about division. We also made graphs and asked questions of each other about the information on the graph.

We write a cartoon storyboard about the Lighthouse Keeper’s week. We have been practising our Mini-beast assembly. We have shown what we know about halves and quarters and enjoyed working with a partner to find halves and quarters of numbers. Holly enjoyed improving her tennis skills in P.E. We practised how to serve the ball. We all loved the singing games that we did with Mrs Curle from the National Youth Choir. It was great to have so many visitors to our Reading PATPAL. We enjoyed sharing our learning.

This week in P6…

This week in P6 we went to a jobs fair to see what job we want to do when we are older. They had virtual reality that took you around Scotland. They also had a simulator which you are a construction worker working a digger. They also had CPR dummy’s and breathing apparatus’s. We could make lemonade and draw candy shops. We also had a visitor today. She told us all about her job as a dresser and her childhood. She told us what plays she wanted to do and showed us some videos about it. She also showed us her art and told us about the actors she met. We had a very fun week.

Primary 2 took a walk on the wild side this week when we visited ‘Amazonia’ as part of our science topic about mini beasts. We saw lots of exotic animals – monkeys, parrots, frogs, tarantulas, butterflies and more! We enjoyed watching the amazing leaf cutter ants hard at work and holding Milkshake the snake during our animal handling session!

In numeracy the children have been developing their knowledge of multiplication and using their knowledge of doubles to help them learn the 2X table.

They have also been learning about halving and quartering.

In Literacy, the children have been learning to spell words with consonant blends and developing their comprehension skills.

As part of our topic ‘The Lighthouse keeper’s Lunch’, we have been comparing the seashore with our local environment and finding out about the importance of lighthouses.

We learned to weave paper to make picnic baskets like Mr Grinling’s.

We took advantage of the good weather and enjoyed having our ERIC time in the school garden again!

We took part in an Author’s Live session with author and illustrator- Emily Mackenzie.

As part of our Science work, we ventured outside on a mini beast hunt and we are all looking forward to our class trip to Amazonia on Tuesday.

We worked with Mrs Curle from NYCO on singing games. It helped us improve our skills in listening and following instructions too!

We’ve all had a great week.

P2 This Week

This week we learned about halves and took part in a quiz to identify halves in real life. We made a picture story about Mr Grinling the Lighthouse Keeper. In P.E. we continued to develop our tennis skills and in Health and Well-being we learned about respecting ourselves and created colourful pictures called ‘I am, I can’. Anya’s nana came to visit us and share what it was like for her growing up in the highlands of Scotland. She had photos of her life. Thank you so much for visiting us – we all really enjoyed it!

Well done to Maizy and Caleb for having their Oor Wullie cartoon strips chosen from P2 to be put on the School statue. 🙂
