Good Morning P1/2

Good morning everyone and welcome back to a new term. I hope you were all able to relax and have some fun over the Easter break.

Although we are not able to be altogether in our classroom, we are still going to continue with our learning; it’s just going to happen a little bit differently!

Here are some activities for you to try today.  Use your Home Learning jotter to write in.

Please don’t worry if you can’t do all the tasks in one day, just have a wee look and do your best – the way you always do!

Hello Primary 1-3 😊

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Well done for getting through your first week of Home Learning! We hope you have been able to spend time with your family and have a go at some of the tasks in your home learning pack. Please remember to take time off from school work and have fun over the weekend!

Next week, you can continue to complete tasks from your home learning pack. After the Easter Holidays your teacher will start to post work on the blog for you. We will provide more information about this when we upload the first post.

In the meantime here are some useful websites to explore next week if you complete most of the home learning tasks and are looking for extra activities!

Good Morning P1-3😊

Good Morning boys and girls,

We hope you are having a lovely first day at home, and are enjoying spending some quality time with your families.

We know that things are a little different at the moment, however it’s important to take care of yourselves and stay healthy.

As most of you will now have your Home Learning Pack, we suggest that today would be a great day to begin exploring what’s inside.

Remember it’s important to have fun, and make lovely memories.

The Upper Area Will Rock You!

Don’t Stop Us Now- we’re having such a good time!

This term, Primary 7, 7/6 and 6 have been working extremely hard to prepare for their upcoming show, Schools Will Rock You, and it’s guaranteed to blow your mind!!

Our amazing pupils have been busy learning songs, memorising scripts, creating posters and tickets, selecting scenery, writing letters, designing programmes, counting money raised, researching costumes, making and sourcing props, and much, much more!

Not only have we been enhancing our drama and musical abilities, we have also been learning skills for life, learning and work like budgeting, emailing, teamwork, choreography, digital designs, fundraising and advertising.

The teachers have been blown away by the enthusiasm, dedication and talent our children have already shown in the rehearsal/preparation process, and we cannot wait to see the faces of our audience when they see our champions both onstage and behind the scenes. It will send shivers down your spine….

#saveourseas

P5 have been engaged in their learning this term through their save our seas IDL this term. Their favourite tasks so far have been creating seascape textured art, exploring a range of different media to create an image. They also learned about the angers of plastic pollution and demonstrated this by adding plastic to sea-creatures. Although P5 enjoyed creating the art work, we discussed how moving the finished product made them feel.

They have also created a “Tweet wall” after finding out that you have to return single use cups to coffee shops to be successfully recycled. They are extremely passionate about this and we plan to send a class tweet to a coffee shop.. watch this space!

P1 Descriptive Writing

Primary one have been working hard over this term to learn about the 7 different describing bubbles (colour, shape, number, position, texture, doing and size), using our new whole school writing resources.

We have been using and choosing different bubbles to help us describe ourselves, our class mates and different objects.

Last week we went outside to explore and describe autumn trees, focusing on texture.

This week, we focused on shape and applied what we have learned so far to describe our class T-Rex, who appeared in our class with a mysterious egg!

Ready, Steady, Cook with P4

Primary 4 have had a busy term so far and have loved learning all about the journey of food through their Field to Fork IDL Context. The highlight of our IDL has to be our class visit from Jennifer from Scotch Kitchen. We were able to share our learning with Jennifer and also cook Moroccan Spiced Lamb with new and familiar ingredients. The food was delicious and some of us even had second and third helpings!

Outdoor Art with P7/6

This term, P7/6 have enjoyed creating artwork inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. We spent time researching and discussing the shapes, colours and materials that he uses in his work. We then spent time in the school grounds looking at the resources available to us. We planned how we might use natural materials to incorporate art techniques such as blending colour. Thinking about the seasons, we were able to layer autumnal colours to great effect. The children were very proud of their efforts. Here are the results:
