Friday Fun in P6

This morning we developed our knowledge of angles using active maths inspired activities. We used masking tape to create different types of angles on our classroom tables. We continued to develop our confidence of using protractors during this activity.

We had to identify the different types of angles we had been learning about by stating the accurate degree and the type of angle (right angle, acute, straight line or obtuse).

We worked in different groups to ensure we achieved success and developed our confidence.

Primary 1 have been learning about 2d shape this week.

We made shapes using lollipop sticks, created our own street with 2d shape houses and practised drawing 2d shapes with chalks during our outdoor learning.

P4 took part in an outdoor symmetry challenge this week. They used natural material and loose parts to create symmetrical art. It was important that both sides of the chalk line were the same. Mrs McJimpsey was  also so pleased at how cooperatively we worked with our teams.  Next term, our next step in symmetry will be to create pictures with more than one line of symmetry.

Maths Week Scotland

This week in Primary 6 we have been using digital technology to further enhance our learning of Information Handling. We created different types of graphs and simple pie charts to show our knowledge gained this term. We collected our own data based upon our own interests, collated our findings in a table which was then displayed in a way of our choosing.

Primary 1 have been learning about halves. We made cakes for one another with playdoh then cut them in half. We coloured halves of different shapes and found halves of numbers using our counters. We talked about when in real life we might need to use halves.

On World Book Day, we enjoyed reading Gorilla Loves Vanilla. We talked about words that rhyme in the book and completed a rhyme challenge with our friends in P2/1.  We talked about our favourite ice cream and designed our own delicious ice cream sundae.

This week we focused on learning our common words through active learning. We were able to do these stations independently following the instructions at the beginning of the lesson. We enjoyed being able to explore Literacy through lots of different activities and alongside our learning buddies.

In Maths this week, we have continued learning about collecting and collating data using tally marks and bar graphs. We had fun in our ‘pancake flipping’ competition where we tally marked how many times each person could flip their pancake. This was then used to create a bar/block graph.

Your child has brought home their Wonderful Week of Work jotter for you to see from this week. There is a sheet stuck in where you can leave feedback on what you have read and your child also.

In between our nativity practices, we have been learning more about our topic ‘The Rotten Romans’. We have been learning about what a day in the life of a Roman school child would be like as well as Roman numerals.

This week in Primary 3 we have been busy working hard in all areas of our learning. We are excited for you to see our ‘Wonderful Week of Work’ jotters and bring them home and show off our work form this week.

We have created our craft for the Christmas Fayre on Friday 2nd December 2022.

We developed our knowledge of what makes a good friend and discussed the qualities that we look for in a good friend. We are looking for these everyday in the classroom, in the playground and at home and to show these qualities to others.

James from Broxburn United FC joined us this week for our 4th week of Fun Fitness Friday. We were learning what it means to be ‘physically active’.

This week we have celebrated World Book Day and Anti-Bullying in school. We have taken part in a lot of different activities to share our passion for reading and improving our understanding of what bullying is.

In Numeracy, we have been focusing on skip counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and began counting in 4s yesterday. We used concrete materials and a 100 square help our learning.

We worked collectively to create our very own Rotten Romans timeline for our class display. We now have an understanding of what a timeline is for and used our knowledge of ordering numbers to help with this task.
