Primary 3/4 and Primary 4/5 would like to share their learning with you by holding a Titanic Assembly on Friday 5th May at 11am, then invite you to their classrooms to view their creations!
We look forward to seeing you all then.
Regards
Ms Gavin, Ms Robertson and Mrs Conaghan
This week the children have enjoyed collaborating with P4/5 within topic, as we started work on our assembly. We have also started putting together some interesting facts to add to our class ‘museum’ for our visitors to find. This week we reported on the Titanic disaster by making newspaper reports. We also started to paint our disaster picture for display, they are coming along nicely. Primary 4 started learning the 6 times table. Primary 3 moved on to borrowing in subtraction, a bit tricky!
Well done to all the children in P3/4 who brought in cakes for our cake sale, we raised over £80.
Well done P3/4, what a great week!

We also enjoyed our music session as we wrote our own verses for a Titanic song using the tune to Row Row Row your boat. We also developed our grammar by working on plurals (P)3 and nouns including proper nouns (P4). In our Titanic topic, we got together with 4/5 and got into our passenger groups and looked at the journey the Titanic made, we then used maps to plot the journey.
This week we started working on our Multiplication. P3 started on the 2 times table and multiplying 2 digit numbers by 2. P4 revised the 2, 5 and ten tables and worked on the 3 times table and multiplying 2 digit numbers by 2, 3 and 5. This found this a bit tricky!
In literacy we started our reading groups again and working on becoming fluent. We worked on our grammar skills, remembering our nouns, verbs and adjectives and did a spelling test of our common words. Within our writing we also wrote about our Famous Scot, by using the information we had gathered for our Power Points. Then in topic we continued to develop our presentations. We found out that collecting notes and using them was a bit tricky too!
There was fun with Google Glasses on Monday and in PE we continued our Yoga, although we have decided to use Cosmic Kids Yoga site as this looks really good (see link below).
Olivia – I enjoyed doing our Power Points.
Evie – I enjoyed the Yoga.
Ellsie – I enjoyed the times tables.
Kyran – I enjoyed topic.
For homework we are learning the Scottish Poem, Street Talk by J.K. Annand, we will be reciting these in class on the 21st January.
Street Talk
There was a rammie in the street,
A stishie and stramash.
The crabbit wifie up the stair
Pit up her winda sash.
“Nou what’s adae?” the wifie cried,
“Juist tell me what’s adae.”
A day is twinty-fower hours, missis,
Nou gie us peace to play.
“Juist tell me what’s ado,” she cried,
“And nane o yer gab,” cried she.
D’ye no ken a doo’s a pigeon, missis?
Nou haud your wheesht a wee.
“I want to ken what’s up,” she cried,
“And nae mair o yer cheek, ye loun.”
It’s only yer winda that’s up, missis.
For guidsake pit it doun.

This week has, once again, been extremely short! However we still had time to continue with our topic and find more information about some famous Scots. We are going to use these to build up our Power Point presentations.
We started thinking more about what we needed to learn and wrote our personal targets for our writing and our maths. Then we used our writing targets to write our New Year’s Resolutions! Most of us wrote about how we needed to be more active and get outside for some fresh air. In PE we continued to think about being active and how this helps our general fitness. We exercised our hearts and did some basic yoga moves to exercise our muscles!
This week in Maths we have continued to develop P3’s understanding of adding tower sums with carrying over to the next column (H,T,U). P4 have continued to develop their understanding of multiplication and have now started the 3 times table – would benefit them to continue to revise 2, 3, 5, and 10. In Literacy we continued our reading and reading activities in class, we also revised our sounds and Kung Fu punctuation. During French we practised the phrases we already knew and started to learn about birthdays, months and seasons.
In our new topic – Famous Scots, we have investigated some famous people from history and gathered information using the ipads. We are learning how to use Power point and starting to put together presentations on some of the famous people. We will eventually present these in class.
We are very proud of ourselves for our performances at the Carol Concerts, as we all worked hard learning the song; 12 Days of Christmas, and had fun singing this in class – even when we weren’t practising officially! We also enjoyed our Christmas lunch and our parties!
Faith – I enjoyed the party.
Sophie – I enjoyed doing our new topic.
Brooke and Chloe – I enjoyed singing the 12 Days of Christmas.
Ellsie – I enjoyed making the Christmas cards.
Daisy – I enjoyed the tower sums.
Olivia – I really liked using the Learning and Reflection Diary.
Kyran – I enjoyed singing We Wish you a Merry Christmas.
Logan – I enjoyed watching the Christmas movie!
Its amazing! Well done everyone.
