Primary 6 Update

Literacy (Class Novel)

This week in Primary 6 we have been getting used to our weekly routines. We have been introduced to our new class novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio where we were asked to predict what might happen.  This term we will be focusing on prediction where we will develop our skills in this area.

Topic – The Jacobites

We were introduced to our new topic for this term: The Jacobites. We shared what we knew already and what we want to learn so the topic can be shaped around our questions.

Primary 6 Class Charter

During our first week in Primary 6 we worked on ‘Building Our Community’. This is where we were reminded of school routines, expectations and standards, alongside getting to know our new teacher.

As part of this we created our Class Charter which displays our understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which applies to all children. We recapped about ‘Rights Holders’ and ‘Duty Bearers’ which we then added to our charter.

We worked as a class to pick UNCRC rights that we felt were most important to us and  matched our shared vision for this year.

Our shared vision for this year is displayed in our classroom.

P3 Weekly Update

This week we focused on learning our common words through active learning. We were able to do these stations independently following the instructions at the beginning of the lesson. We enjoyed being able to explore Literacy through lots of different activities and alongside our learning buddies.

In Maths this week, we have continued learning about collecting and collating data using tally marks and bar graphs. We had fun in our ‘pancake flipping’ competition where we tally marked how many times each person could flip their pancake. This was then used to create a bar/block graph.

Your child has brought home their Wonderful Week of Work jotter for you to see from this week. There is a sheet stuck in where you can leave feedback on what you have read and your child also.

This week we have been focusing on our knowledge of how to write a procedure.

Today we were asked to reflect on our prior learning and use it to complete a group task. Miss Walkingshaw provided us with an example of a procedure – ‘How to safely exit the building in a fire’ which builds further onto their learning with Mrs Mooney.

We were asked to find the structure of the procedure first, identify title, goal and materials used before ordering the steps in the correct order. We showed fantastic knowledge of how this genre should be written.

This week in Primary 3 we have been learning all about Scotland and its heritage. We were learning the skill of ‘weaving’ where we designed, created and perfected our very own tartan for our families.

We also took part in the Scots assembly where we sang two Scottish songs – Mairi’s Wedding and Rammie in the Chip Shop. Our two Scots poem winners also performed ‘Twa Legged Mice’ in front of the whole school and P4 parents/carers.

Well done everyone!

Last week we focused on our nativity performances which we hope you all enjoyed coming to watch. We enjoyed being part of this experience and sharing it with you all!

Throughout the week we managed to squeeze time in to complete our exposition piece of writing. We wrote a persuasive letter to Santa where we shared our thoughts on how we thought 2022 had went. We then got the opportunity to post our letters to the North Pole and are awaiting our response from Santa.

In between our nativity practices, we have been learning more about our topic ‘The Rotten Romans’. We have been learning about what a day in the life of a Roman school child would be like as well as Roman numerals.

Below is a link to the song we have been using to help us:

This week in Primary 3 we have been busy working hard in all areas of our learning. We are excited for you to see our ‘Wonderful Week of Work’ jotters and bring them home and show off our work form this week.

We have created our craft for the Christmas Fayre on Friday 2nd December 2022.

We developed our knowledge of what makes a good friend and discussed the qualities that we look for in a good friend. We are looking for these everyday in the classroom, in the playground and at home and to show these qualities to others.

James from Broxburn United FC joined us this week for our 4th week of Fun Fitness Friday. We were learning what it means to be ‘physically active’.
