Primary 1/2

As part of our work within Social Studies, we have been looking at the differences between services in the local area and on the fictional Isle of Struay in the Katie Morag stories.

We went out for a walk around the area to find out about the different types of houses, shops and services nearby. We saw lots of cottages and semi-detached houses. We wrote a list of the features of each place and discovered that Pumpherston and Uphall Station has more shops and services than Katie Morag’s island.

Here are some of the other things we have been doing this week:

Millie: ‘I liked learning numbers and colours in French.’

Aiden: ‘I liked Big Maths Beat That test because it was fun.’

Brooke: ‘I liked reading this week.’

Emily: ‘I made terraced houses.’

Primary 1

As part of our Katie Morag topic, we went for a walk around Pumpherston so that we could compare services found in Pumpherston with those found on Katie Morag’s Isle of Struay. We then created a list comparing the different services found in each place. Primary 1 voted on which place they would rather live, Struay or Pumpherston. Everyone voted for Pumpherston!

P6 Weekly Blog

This week we have been using fractions in maths and have learnt how to change fractions to decimals and percentages. In health and well being we have been learning how to keep ourselves safe. We talked about trust and peer pressure and made acrostic poems to show our understanding. In our writing we have been analysing different types of poems and looking for rhythmic patterns, onomatopoeia, alliteration and personification.

Primary 1

Primary 1 have been learning how to double numbers this week. We have been using strategies such as counting on our fingers or drawing pictures to find the answer. In writing, we have been learning how to use adjectives. We all wrote about one of our classmates, using adjectives to describe them. This is what Sophie-Rose wrote about Ola:

Ola has brown hair and she has a pony tail. Ola has brown pretty eyes. Ola has ladybug earings. She has a dress and white top. Ola is helpful. I like playing doctors with Ola.

Primary 5

This week, Primary 5 ventured out of school to head for the pool! 

We went to Xcite Broxburn to be assessed on our swimming skills. We were split into groups and got to practise our front/back swimming strokes, floating, turning, paddling and retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool. We were shattered by the end of it! We were excellent role models for the school and Miss McLaughlin was very impressed with how hard we tried!

Xcite Broxburn will offer free swimming lessons to individuals based on the results of their assessments. More information will follow soon.

Check in with us to see what we get up to next week!

Until then…
Primary 5 & Miss M 🙂
