Upper school have been learning about inverse operations and have been taking part in some ‘Human Sums’. We really enjoyed it and it helped us to apply our knowledge of inverse operations! It also helped us to develop our mathmatical strategies.
The P2/1 class have been focussing on learning how to care for guinea pigs this week. Our starting point was the story ‘The Three Little Guinea Pigs’. We used the internet to find out more information on their likes and dislikes. Next we applied what we had learnt by making our own guinea pigs using modelling clay talking about the size, weight and characteristics of different types of guinea pigs. Finally we reflected on our favourite part of the the story and used our sound system to write about our reflections.
The P1s in the Language Centre have been sorting pictures which start with the m sound (red – loud sound made with the lips), c sound (yellow – sound made at back of throat) and s sound (blue – quiet sound made with the tongue) whilst the P2s have been learning about the differences between the b and h sounds.
All the children are listening very carefully for first sound by colouring in the cat’s head and the last sound by colouring in the cat’s tail.
Our topic work has focussed on daily routine, healthy food choices and activities which use a little energy and those which use a lot of energy.
During our Healthy Families, Healthy Children topic P6 have been getting to grips with nutritional information on their snacks. We investigated how some manufacturers used bright colours to sell their snacks. We enjoyed using calculators to work out how many calories there were in a range of snacks. It has really helped us to make an informed choice when we are buying or daily snacks in the mornings!
Just a wee note to let you know that our first class Assembly will be on THURSDAY 14th NOVEMBER.
We hope to see you there where we will be showcasing our Learning to date on our Topic Katie Morag.
Miss Adam and her new Primary 3 class have got off to a great start this year.
Here we are with our “sensible heads” on……we also took a slightly crazy photo too 🙂
Here is my lovely class posing for their class photo.
p3 have had a greate few weeks and are ready to start their new topic of Katie Morag and Island Life. I think they will be finding out lots of fun and exciting things in this topic and doing lots of fun art work with P3A.
We will also be working through our Healthy Families topic and doing a tasting session of yummy food. I hope the boys and girls are excited!
Our new Primary 1 children have made a great start to learning at the Language Centre. They have been focussing on making the m and c sounds and with their new P2 friends in class using baby photos to talk to their families about how they have grown and changed, learning the names of body parts and using their senses to smell, touch and taste new foods at snack time.
