Primary 1 Learning

Primary 1 have learning about toys. We have been talking about toys we enjoy playing with today and what some toys were like in the past. Everyone has been enjoying playing with some examples of older toys such as wooden cards and yo-yos at play and learn time.  Mrs Hardie also brought some toys that she used to play with as a little girl for us to see.

On Friday we received a letter from Santa asking us to use our imagination to design a new toy that children around the world would enjoy playing with. We began drawing our designs and adding labels to explain how they work. We are going to finish them this week and present them to our classmates before sending them off to Santa!

The class have also been busy working on Christmas arts and crafts. We made our own Christmas tree pictures using a fingerprint technique and a snowy day picture using white paint and glitter.  Despite not being able to have our Christmas Fair this year, we have also created a special Christmas craft to bring home on Thursday.

Be an Author – Book Week Scotland Competition

Last week we set all classes a free writing competition inviting them to create a piece of writing on any theme or in any style for Book Week Scotland.

Our house and vice captains had the difficult job of judging the competition this week.

P1-P4/3 created theirs on paper, and P4-7 uploaded theirs to Teams.

 

Congratulations to all our fabulous authors!

Primary 7 Children in Need

P7 were given the challenge to design a new tee-shirt for Children in Need 2020. They had to incorporate yellow, spots or Pudsey bear. Their designs are fantastic. I think we have some budding designers of the future in P7 this year. Well done everyone!

Primary 2/1

This week Primary 2/1 learned all about how to stay safe around fireworks and  created firework pictures.  We first looked at videos and pictures of fireworks and talked about the colours we could see. We then drew lines with wet chalk on black paper to recreate fireworks bursting in the sky.

P4/3 The BFG and Multiplication

This week in P4/3 we have been reading The BFG by Roald Dahl and portraying these characters through drama. The three things we all know to do to be successful are; use big body actions; use facial expressions; and face the audience.

In maths this week we have been practising our 2 and 5 times tables. Firstly, we used counters and circles to group them, then we used cups to group our counters, and finally, we moved on to using picture clues to help us solve our questions.

Well done P4/3!

  • I uploaded pictures of the children’s work this week but they have not appeared yet. I will check back and see if this has worked.

A Spook-tacular Friday in P6

For Halloween, P6’s all dressed up in fantastic costumes including witches, wizards and angels (which the P6 children always are, of course…)

To celebrate, the children had the opportunity to participate in arts and crafts activities after break. In groups, children made pumpkin stress balls (some of which seem to have popped over the weekend – sorry!), meanwhile the rest of the class watched a Halloween movie and tucked into some treats.

Although Halloween looked a bit different this year, we made sure our Freaky Friday was full of fun and laughter!

Stay safe 🙂
