This week we have been thinking about what we know about rivers and what we want to know. We learned about different rivers in Scotland and made our own maps of Scotland to show the main rivers. We also wrote descriptions for a partner to work out what river was being described.

Numeracy

This week the Blue and Green groups have been dividing with and without remainders. We have also started to learn about factors and will be revisiting this next week.

The Red group are sharing equally and continuing to practise times tables. 

Literacy

This week we have been developing our inference skills in reading. We are getting really good at using clues to learn more about the story or about the characters. We also recited our Scots poems. Our class winners were Nia, Jordan and Emma C. 

Today we have been learning about keeping safe on the Internet. We know  to use nicknames and not our real names.

Can you guess who is who in Primary 1?

In Primary 5 we have been scientists!

Aim: to do an experiment to investigate friction: air resistance.

Challenge: can you make an o ring plane which can fly the furthest?

Once the design had been modified we tested everyone’s planes. Callum and Sophie C designed the o ring plane which managed to fly the furthest!

Primary 4 have been learning some Scots’ words. This week, we learned how to name and describe some items of clothing. See if you can guess what some of our items are…

‘Bonnie blue an purpie bunnie baffies’ Mya

‘Muckle rid stampy bitts’ Andrew

‘Groovy green an yella breeks’ Daniel

‘Orange an purpie Scottish goon’ Ula

Pop in to see our Scots’ washing line 🙂

Until next time…
Primary 4

As part of our Scots focus, Primary 3 have been finding out about traditional Scottish crafts. We researched the history of tartan and then made our own tartan design. We have also been having fun learning how to knit!

We have all returned well rested from our break and we are ready to get on with lots of hard work in term 3!

We are starting off our term with our usual Scottish focus. We will be using the Internet to research and write a report about Charles Rennie MacIntosh.  We will also be looking at his art work and try to produce work in his style.  We will also be learning Scottish poems for our Scots assembly! Two people from the class will be chosen to recite the poems at the assembly!

Primary 3 are excited to be back for the new term. We have been talking about different New Year traditions this week and have decided on our New Year resolutions for 2015. Here are some of our resolutions:

Kamila:  “My resolution is to try and keep my bedroom tidy.”

Erin T: “I want to get better at riding my bike.”

Ceira:  “My resolution is to get my work finished on time.”

Happy New Year to you all.  We have all had a great holiday and are looking forward to new learning now that we are in a new year.  We are looking forward to learning new ways to paint(Renee,Lilly), counting on to add numbers together(Abbie), learning new things in maths as we love it(Mischa), learning new sounds(Junior) and our Scottish poems and songs(Zayah,Aleisha).  Sounds like we are going to have a very busy term.
