Primary 7 weekly blog

We have had a great first, full week back to school.

During our Scottish topic we have been learning about the life of Robert Burns so that we can write an information report on him. We have also investigated a Scottish musician of our choice, from the past, and listened to a variety of Scottish music/artists and discussed what emotions each track triggered and what they made us visualise.

In Maths, we have been reading and plotting coordinate points on a Cartesian diagram. We have drawn shapes and recorded the coordinates for them too.

One of our pupils has been teaching us some Polish vocabulary. This week we learned how to say please and thank you.

Hope you have had a great week too.

Primary 4 Learning

P4 have been learning about Robert Burns in the context of a Burns Supper.  We had an introduction to Robert Burns and his life.  We listened to Scottish music, learned Scots Poetry and also learned about food that is produced in Scotland.  We also learned about what happens at a Burns Supper and then created our own Scottish Menus on a PowerPoint document in our Teams files.

 

 

P2/1 Weekly Blog

As part of our Scots focus P2/1 listened to the Gruffalo in Scots by Julia Donaldson. Our challenge was to find Scots language in the text and identify the meaning. Here are some of the Scots words we found.

moose – mouse

hoolit    – owl

neb       – nose

keek    – look

dauner – walk

We have also been learning the Scots poems Mince and Tatties and Robin Reidbreist in class. Both poems are by JK Annand. We have all chosen a poem we would like to practice as part of our home learning.

This week we have started our Scotland topic. We have been learning Scots words through poetry. We used our knowledge of layout, alliteration, rhyme and Scots language to compose our own Scots poems.

We have also been learning about Robert Burns. We designed our own tartans to start our Burns celebrations. Head over to our Teams Channel for some additional photos of our wonderful work!

Our homework is to learn our Scots Poems for Burns Day. We have been learning ‘Listen Tae the Teacher’ by Nancy Nicholson and ‘Fed Up’ – by Janet Paisley. These have been sent home this week to practice.

A great week in Primary 7. We completed our 3D pop-up cards  for our buddies in Primary 1. We are excited to give them to our buddies.

We began to draw angles, of a given size, this week. Mrs Andison challenged us to draw a Christmas tree using angles and recording what angles we used. Some of us even managed to draw a star from angles.

Thursday was our Christmas party an we had a great time. One of the best games was Shovel the Snowballs but it was exhausting!!!

Only 3 days left at school before we are off for the holidays.

Have a very Merry  Christmas  and enjoy the break.

Primary 2/1

Primary 2/1 had fun this week at their Christmas party. We played musical statues, Christmas corners, musical bumps and danced to our favourite songs.

We had a break for some party food then went back to the hall to take part in Just Dance on the big screen.

We all had a great time.

Primary 2

This week with Mrs McConville the class explored colour, pattern and shape through looking at rainforest animals linked to our Climate change topic. They looked closely at the different details on each animal and tried to replicate their pattern as closely as possible.

We have also been busy completing lots of christmas activities, including our, christmas tree decorations and some christmas addition tasks in maths.

 

On Thursday afternoon we watched our first pantomime (Cinderella), and made magic wands to use during the show.
