Primary 1/2

This week Primary 1/2 have been learning all about the emergency services. We had a visit from a firefighter who showed us all the equipment he uses and told us how we can keep safe if there ever was a fire. We also found out about the all the different types of rescues that the fire brigade can do.

We have been acting out emergency calls in Drama so that we know how to respond to an emergency and what to say when we phone 999. We took on the roles of operators and people who need help. After acting out different ideas, we then wrote our own emergency stories.

Here are some of the things that we learned this week:

Mayah: ‘Firefighters have a mask.’

Emily: ‘Firefighters save people from water.’

Olivia: ‘I learned how to add by counting on on my fingers.’

We are always looking for ways to improve communication.  We use this blog daily and this is still our primary means of communicating learning and information.  The blog feeds all posts straight to our Twitter page. We also regularly send messages by email, and by text, we send home newsletters monthly and sometimes notes in bags.

We have now set up a Facebook page for the school.  this will be mostly linked posts from the blog which will offer another way of keeping up to date.

This use of Facebook is a trial and we are keen for it to work.  Feel free to like and share posts from the page but note that comments are not read and will not be responded to.

Bullying Attitudes Survey

niosAs part of our current work on anti-bullying we would like to gather as many parent/carer views on this difficult subject as possible.  These views will help us plan our policy going forward.

We have already consulted pupils and are currently planning work around bullying for our Anti-Bullying Shared Focus Week on the 28th November.

Please take a moment to complete the survey below.

Primary 1

 

 Jack: We found out about things that need electricity and how to keep safe. Never put your fingers near the socket.

Caitlin: I’ve been counting forwards and backwards and adding groups to see how much I have altogether.

James: Zoolab came and I saw a turtle and snake. I touched the snake.

Sorley: We have made a hospital in the class. I am a Doctor and Kyle was the patient.

 

Primary 5

This week, Primary 5 took control of their learning!

Our new topic is based around Democracy, so as well as deciding what we wanted to learn, we planned how we wanted to learn too! Miss McLaughlin gave us the skills we would be focusing on, so we tried to come up with ways in which we could achieve them!

Here is what we came up with:

Now, Miss McLaughlin will put the ideas together and build our Democracy topic! Check in to see how we get on.

Until next time…
Primary 5 & Miss M 🙂
