This week in primary 4 we shared our learning as part of our Explorers topic. We each took turns to present what we had found out about our country. We then set each of our clocks to the correct time zone so we could compare what time it was in different parts of the world. 
We also looked at the festival of Diwali and had a go at creating our own Rangoli patterns.
P3 Weekly Update
This week we have been working on a new Literacy routine. This is where we have explored more active spelling tasks, reading with our friends, using our digital class library and many more literacy focused activities.
We created an Autumn wreath which we were able to put on show around our houses. We tried to make these from natural materials, however it didn’t quite work out that way!
Primary 7 Weekly update
We had a very nerve-wracking week this week as we had fifteen members of our class making presentations for the House Captain elections. Mrs Andison was very proud of all the candidates as they all spoke very well.
It was Maths week Scotland and we had some blether stations all about how Maths and Numeracy are used in our daily lives as well as how they may be used in different jobs. We really enjoyed this. We also did some learning on budgeting where we had to plan a day out for ourselves and a friend.Â
Primary 4
This week in Primary 4 we have been creating some scottish lanscape pictures. We learned how to create a monochrome effect by using black and white paint mixed with a base colour. We then chose a Scottish landscape/ animal or flower to draw on black paper to create a silhouette effect. Here are some pictures of our work:
We have also enjoyed taking part in the Maths week Scotland challenge on sumdog. Over 6,900 classes took part in the contest and we finished 1091st. Super job everyone!
P3 Weekly Update
This week in Primary 3 we have complete an expressive arts activity where we recreated Edinburgh Castle as part of our class topic. We completed a drawing activity where we drew the castle step by step. We then painted the scenery in the background using a picture from the smartboard for guidance.
We continued working on our knowledge of time – using o’clock, half past and quarter past. We worked in pairs to draw clocks to represent different times given from our partner.
Primary 6 Blog
For writing, we have been writing All About Me using descriptive writing.
In reading, we have been reading about the Talisman, book number 3 focusing on the “oe” phoneme.
We have been continuing to read The Boy at the Back of the Class – we read chapters 13 and 14 this week and did some comprehension and prediction tasks.
In numeracy, some of us have been learning about decimal place value. Other groups have been rounding up whole numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. We went outside for some number games and consolidated our learning by using playing cards.
For PE we have been playing basketball and doing circuits.
In topic we drew posters based on what we have already learned.
We made sculptures in art.
Primary 4
This week in primary 4 we have been working hard on using adjectives in our descriptive writing. We took inspiration from our class novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and tried to describe some of the main characters.
We have also been learning about the different sections of descriptive writing through our PM writing big book. The text in the book focuses on the moon so we decided to link our writing to our topic by writing about the earth.
Primary 7 weekly overview
Another busy week of learning in Primary 7 this week.
We are just beginning to learn about using mixed media in Art. We are creating images of soldiers during WW2, showing the different emotions felt by them during this time.
We had great excitement on Thursday afternoon as we have started work on our World War Two garden with Sarah-Jane. We will be clearing the beds, digging the soil over and eventually planting some crops ready for the spring. We are hoping for some dry weather over the next couple of weeks so we can get outside and work on this project.
Our House and Vice captain elections take place on Wednesday and we are all excited about these. We are also feeling a bit nervous too.
Have a great weekend.

This week have enjoyed learning more about our topic – ‘On Our Doorstep’. We continued our learning from last week where we learned about the different types of house within the local area. We used our plans to help us create a model house. We explored what the term ‘renewable energy’ was and what we could add to our houses to help them become more eco-friendly.
We added wind turbines, solar panels and a well.
