Primary 7 Learning
In Maths we have been learning to use our tables to help solve a variety of different problems. During Maths week we started problem solving using different strategies and we are continuing some problem solving every week. We are currently using fractions in problems. We found the fraction problems a challenge so we are practising simplifying fractions and equivalent fractions.
In Writing we have been learning how to write a diary entry and have linked this to our topic about WW2. We are writing a diary entry for a child who was evacuated during the war. We looked at common features of diary entries and used these as our success criteria. Hopefully you will enjoy reading them at parents night.
Active Learning in P2C!
P2C have been actively engaging with learning their spelling. We have been reading, saying and writing our spelling words in fun ways such as magnetic letters, painting letters, making sentences with blocks and beads, rainbow writing, word pyramids, colourful writing and lots more.
I was very impressed by how focused the whole class were and the many interesting words the pupils came up with.
Primary 2 S
Primary 2S have been busy this week writing penpal letters for Magale School in Uganda. On the 6th of October Mr and Mrs Comrie, who are involved with the charity “The Friends of Magale” are travelling to Uganda to visit the school and orphanage. They hope to bring back letters for us in Primary 2 and we are very excited!

Library After School Club – 13/09/18
Last week at Library Club we looked at The World Around Us.
Moira read ‘Is a Blue Whale the biggest thing there is? by Robert E. Wells. It is a great book which showed how big things to us, like the largest animal in the world, the blue whale, are small compared to much bigger things, like mountains and stars and even the universe!
Did you know that a if you were to hollow out Mount Everest, the biggest mountain on our planet, you could fill it with billions of blue whales.
We then made owl light switch covers that will help us to remember to switch off our lights and think of what we can do to help this amazing world around us!
This week in library club we are exploring sharing. Come along to share a story.

Primary One Learning
Today was a proud moment for Mrs Hardie and Mrs McJimpsey, as the Primary One children wrote their first words in their jotters. The world is their oysters! Well done!
