P5 news

Leave a comment

P5 worked hard to complete their rainforest animal fact files through using power point.

We did some exciting number talks this week and worked on doubles and addition.

We welcomed a new friend to our class. We hope that Ahtasham has many happy memories with P5.

P5 found this weeks big write a bit tricky. Not always that easy to write about your best friend. However everyone tried their best and P5 has some very special friends.

We looked at using line and shape when drawing animals for our fact files.

The boys and girls did some fantastic work creating their own grid references and we are eager to hear what P5/6 think once they have completed our questions.

Blissful day at BLES

Leave a comment

Our final groups of P7 pupils from Murrayfield and Blackburn Primaries had a chance to join in the fun at BLES today. They were given the opportunity to learn skills for life under the expert guidance of the BLES team. Over the course of the day, within their groups, they: recreated a mural to replicate one put together by Blackburn’s 3 primary schools a few years ago as part of CAB transition work; learned joinery skills and were helped to use a range of manual and power tools to build their own bird house which they were allowed to take home; found about electrical sources, fuses, fuse boxes and electrical supplies and then learned how to wire a plug and strip wires. All of our children had the most amazing experience and learned skills which they will be able to take forward in a wide range of practical situations throughout their lives. Lynne Wishart from BLES told us that the staff were all really impressed by the children’s enthusiasm and behaviour over the 3 day period and that working with them had been like a breath of fresh air. We are really proud of all our pupils and would like to thank all of the wonderful staff at BLES and those who have sponsored this project for giving us this unique opportunity. It was a wonderful experience.

Learning in P6/5

Leave a comment

Primary Six pupils had a music assessment this week. They were asked to sing in tune and clap in rhythm. Many of our Primary Six pupils are hoping to be selected to play a musical instrument.

In Mental Maths we have focused on developing the strategy of rounding to the nearest multiple of ten to add on or subtract a number, e.g. 49 + 11 or 76 + 9 =.  Dean thought this strategy was fun and Lara said it is an efficient strategy for solving problems.

On Thursday night, we had a Rookie Rockstars concert. We hope you enjoyed the concert and managed to order our CD.

In reading, we were learning about how to summarise a text. We learnt through reading about the rainforests, that tribal people harvest the plants and they help to keep the ecosystem healthy.

One of the challenges we completed this week was to make up an A-Z list of rainforest creatures.

On Wednesday afternoon, the pupils got to choose a careers masterclass to learn more about what it would be like to be in a specific job in the future. The jobs ranged from Archaeologist, Animal Welfare Inspector, an Engineer, Graphic Designer, Farming and Police Officer.  The main theme we gained from the masterclass is that we can be whatever we want to be!   We need to try hard to achieve our goals!
