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!
This week we …
Lexi – Enjoyed the dividing, in maths.
Olivia – Enjoyed creating the Values poster.
Brooke – We did fractions.
Chloe Demi-Lee, and Faith – Enjoyed doing the dividing.
Daisy – I loved doing the Values posters.
Katie – I enjoyed doing the fractions with the pancakes!
Pati – I liked doing the Yoga in PE.
Evie – I liked the Yoga as well.
Alix – I enjoyed world book day and dressing up.
Marcus – I loved picking our favourite books.
Brooke – I enjoyed doing my passenger portrait in topic.
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 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.

Logan – I enjoyed watching the Christmas movie!
We have registered BLES Training with Galaxyhotchocolate.com where if we receive enough votes could win £300. As you know we never do things just for ourselves. If we were successful, we were asked what we would do with the money and how it would benefit the community.
We have collectively agreed, if successful we would make a bench that would be made by our young people at BLES then donated within the community focusing on the elderly which would bring together the different generations.
Through email, facebook and twitter we are asking you to share the link below with as many of your friends, family and work colleagues and ask them to vote for BLES Training
