P3 Weekly Reflection 16.11.18

This week we have been having discussions about presenting a positive attitude to our learning.  We have been talking about why it is important that we come to school ready to learn and why we need to learn to manage distractions so we can focus on our tasks.  Next week in class we will have the target ‘To follow instructions first time’ so that we are ready for learning and not wasting precious time.

Lakshya enjoyed writing counting poems this week.  We had to think of rhyming words and try to use these in our poems, it was not as easy as you might think.

Anna liked watching the film clip about Joseph Lister when he invented antiseptic.  It is thanks to him that we can go in for operations and come out without infections.

Kayden enjoyed science with Mrs Fraser.  The children are learning about energy and the effect of cutting down lots of trees.  Some great discussion was had.

We enjoyed ending our week on a high by watching the Primary 5 assembly on Harry Potter, what an amazing effort from the children in P5.

Have a lovely weekend.

P3 Weekly Reflection 9.11.18

One of the main highlights this week has been developing our understanding of tessellations.  We drew round 2D shapes to create our own tessellation patterns.  Some people chose to colour theirs using felt pens while others used paint in the primary colours.  We have been looking for examples of tessellations around the school and wonder how many patterns you will find at home.

We have also been thinking about number patterns and have been learning how to identify the rule for given patterns.  We know that if the numbers increase then we are adding or multiplying and if the numbers are decreasing we need to subtract or divide.  Perhaps you could write some patterns at home for your child to continue?

On Monday Emma M, gave an excellent explanation to the class of who Guy Fawkes is and why we celebrate Bonfire Night.  The children were very interested in this and we had an informative discussion.  We also talked about Firework Safety and wrote our own Firework acrostic poems.  The children worked really hard on these and it is hoped that we can redraft these next week so we can display them in our new reading area for everyone to read.

This week the children have been excited to purchase a poppy and have been learning about why we wear poppies at this time of year and why we celebrate Remembrance Day.  This learning was reinforced during an interesting assembly with Mr Balaj today.  We will conclude our learning on Tuesday with a visit to the local church to see the lovely memorial that has been created by members of the parish.

Harry: I enjoyed going to football we had lots of fun.

Liam: Over the course of two weeks I’ve enjoyed learning about significant figures, at first it was a bit confusing actually finding out how to do it because there was lots of different ways to do it online but once I got the hang of it it’s actually really simple and easy.

Fabulous Home Learning

What a great effort for the October Home Learning for P7. Across the whole class every item on the sheet was covered. One of the most popular activities was to learn a new skill – I’m so impressed that P7 were boiling eggs, pasta, trying fancy new hairstyles and even ironing! Well done! We have shared our learning and peer assessed it, with some pupils being so impressed with what their peers had done that they asked to use the WOW! stamper.

November Home Learning is already issued and a copy can be found here: November activities

We completed the SNSA this week.

We had great fun with art this week where we learned to make a picture using the wax resist technique – who knew it’s all really about science! Lots of great thinking about what was happening and why, also about why the candles worked better than the crayons. Great work P7.

Next week we are having Outdoor Learning Week and we will be outside for at least 2 sessions NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS LIKE, so please ensure pupils are dressed appropriately.

This Tuesday, we got to go to the fish shop with Miss Marnie for a Goldfish. The man at the fish shop said there were no Goldfish, and even if they did have them, we would need at least 90 litres. Instead we got two Minnows, one striped called Sprite, and a gold one called Fanta.-By Finlay and Ainslie.

P3 Weekly Reflection 2.11.18

What a busy week it has been, with lots of excitement for Halloween.

Our literacy has had a focus on Halloween as we read some stories about The Clever Cat and The Bubbling Cauldron and wrote our own fictional stories by rolling a dice to choose the setting, character and prop. The children wrote fantastic stories using very creative ideas.

Darcy enjoyed our art activity this week where we were tearing pieces of paper and sticking them onto a Halloween themed shape.

Kayden reminded us about M. C. Escher who we learned about in Maths when we were thinking about tiling patterns.  We created our own tessellations using Tessellation Creator on Topmarks website, perhaps you can have your own go?

This week we started our new class topic, Inventors.  We learned about the Wright Brothers, Ruth Handler, Alexander Graham Bell, Steve Jobs and Mary Anderson.  Do you know what these people invented?  Jarrad particularly enjoyed watching the film about Alexander Graham Bell ‘accidentally’ inventing the telephone.  Over the coming weeks we will be working together in groups to research some other inventors who have been influential in Scottish history.

Kaitlyn said she enjoyed singing and dancing to The Skeleton Dance in music.  We had to listen to the lyrics and fill in the missing words on our activity sheet.  It was a very catchy song.  Rohan preferred listening to The Monster Mash.  Lakshya also enjoyed The Monster Mash and liked listening to spot the rhyming words.

Joe said he enjoyed having fun with his friends at the disco.

Wishing you all a relaxing weekend!
