News from P5/4 (10.05.19)

Although it’s been a short week we have still been working very hard.  Together with P4 we managed to write our Assembly script for our joint P4 & P5/4 Assembly on Friday 24th May.

We have also been learning about Islam this week together with P5 and P4.

We continued work on Fractions and looked at fractions as a set, equivalent fractions and quarters.

Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all on Monday.

P1 News

This week we have been busy learning about mini-beasts.

We went on a mini-beast hunt with Miss Hoey.  We founds lots of different mini-beasts…..worms , slugs, snails, woodlice, caterpillars, flies, bees, spiders and even a millipede!

 

We learned that mini-beasts don’t have a backbone or a skeleton in their bodies. We also learned that butterflies taste food with their feet – imagine that!!!!

Insects have six legs but did you know that spiders have 8 legs?

We had to look under logs, under stones and in the trees to find some of them.

Next week we will be learning about one mini beast that we found on our hunt!  I wonder what it will be?…..

On Monday 13th May Matthew Fitt a Scottish author will be visiting Murrayfield to present a workshop to all of the children in P4-7 about writing in Scots language. We would like to invite parents and carers along to the event at 9.15am in the hall where you can watch the workshop and then stay afterwards to join the children in classes to complete a follow up activity. The children have been writing persuasive letters to take home which will go home on Wednesday next week.

We would like to invite parents and carers to the event to see her presentation with the children. Please come to the school main entrance for 9.30am. Look out for invitations from your child this week.

 

Welcome Back from P5/4

We hope that everyone had a super Easter and are ready learn in Term 4.

We have been working hard on our Newspaper Reports about our Easter Holidays.  In Numeracy we started working on Fractions.  This week in RME we have had three lessons about Christianity from Miss Calder, Mrs Craig and Mrs Glancy.  We are looking forward to our Judasim lessons next week.

P7/6 news

P7/6 used co-ordinates to locate  and plot objects within a grid during Numeracy.

We have started with research on our Author who will be visiting us soon and are preparing to write a persuasive piece of text using the notes we have made.

This week P7/6 learners worked hard using comprehension skills to create and build an Easter Garden during RME.

We hope that everyone had a great Easter and are feeling well rested and ready for the last leg of learning until summer.
