Digital Learning in P1

We are learning about different emotion words and how they can be expressed.

I know … different emotion words

I can … show some of the body signs that may match emotions.

I can share my learning using digital technologies.

P1 used a new app called ChatterKid this week to show their learning about emotions.

Here are some examples of what we have done so far:

Digital Learning Week – P3

WAL: to use technology to follow and record directions using words, signs and angles.

I can:

  • suggest & record instructions for a programmable toy (Bee-bot)
  •  suggest & record instructions for a Sprite (2D image)

Last week we had lot of fun using technology to enhance our learning in Maths.

Bee- bots – we played with the Bee-bots to learn how they worked and then we recorded directions. We got our Bee-bots to make squares and rectangles.

We used the ‘Turtle Program’ on https://www.j2e.com/jit5#turtle. We recorded directions for our Sprite (2D image of a rocket) to get it to travel in a clockwise direction around all the planets. The extension activities were to program the rocket to go anti-clockwise, to add an extra Sprite and to use the advanced program.

What we thought – Dylan ” I enjoyed adding a second sprite and programming it. It felt like I had a magic power because I could make them both move.”

Olivia “i enjoyed getting the Bee-bot to make the shapes.”

Connor L ” I enjoyed recording the directions for my rocket and seeing it move on it’s own”

Emily “I enjoyed adding another sprite because it felt like a challenge.”

The class are keen to use both the technologies in the future especially the website https://www.j2e.com/jit5 as it has lots of other exciting activities to explore.

Science & Digital Learning Week

What were we learning?

We were learning:

  • About how the Earth gets daytime and night-time
  • How long it takes for the Earth to spin.
  • How long it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun.
  • How long it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth.

How would we know if we were successful?

  • We would be able to present this information in the form of a film/iMovie.

What did we do?

We used papier mache to make models of the Sun, Moon and Earth. Then, we worked in groups to plan the different jobs we would have for the film. We practised our script with our group and our models and then Miss McLaughlin filmed us.

Watch our videos below. Did we include all the right information?

Check in with us next week to see what we are learning!

Until next time…

P6 Digital Learning Week

LI: We are learning to retrieve and analyse information

SC:
I can select appropriate information
I can use digital search methods
I can analyse information to support my argument

For our digital learning we were looking into rumours of the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, a type of octopus that has been sighted living in trees on Mt Baker. 
Pupils were asked if they believed these rumours and were sorted into partners that had a similar view to them.
We then began creating short presentations with evidence to back pour views and used digital search techniques to find this.


Nursery Digital Learning Week.

This week we have been using a range of digital equipment in the nursery.

We start our day by using the Smartboard to register. We find our name on the board and when we click on it a picture appears related to our topic. This week we have baby animals.

We have been using our Ipad’s to record how big our plants are growing. We have planted seeds, broad beans, runner beans, peas and potatoes with Sarah-Jane. JJ said our potatoes are “huge”. Kai took pictures of our wild flowers and said the flowers are “for the bees!”

We have used the nursery digital cameras to take pictures of our learning. We have been looking at where mini beasts live and what they like to eat. Demilouize said “they (worms) like to live under the ground in the dark”.

We have been using Beebots and our remote control cars to show we can use our fine motor skills to move the cars and Beebots in different directions. We talked about the Beebots moving forwards and backwards and we used the remote controls to drive the cars in all directions.

We used some new technology this week in the form of a “busbi video”. We used it to record our day outside in the sun and watched it back on the Smartboard together.

Outside we  had painting, water play, snack outside, bikes and wheeled toys and we watered our plants.

Lay a little egg for me!

P1 had a fantastic suprise when they arrived at school this morning. A mummy hen has left us 10 little eggs to look after. Two of the eggs had already hatched before we got in and there was another arrival after school today! They are desperate to say hello but Hopefully we get to see some pipping and hatching tomorrow. We have a boy and two girls so far. P1 had lots of super questions about the chicks.

More from ‘Chick Cam’ tomorrow …

Primary 5 STEM learning

Our STEM topic this term is to design and create a new healthy dish for school lunches.  We have been learning about Scottish and local produce.  We have interviewed staff from the lunch hall to find out the most popular types of lunches as well as collecting data from all the classes in school.  We are using this information to help us design new dishes.

Learning Intention

We are learning to design a new, healthy school lunch dish with Scottish produce.

Success Criteria

I can use Scottish/local produce in my design

I can use my knowledge of healthy foods to help me in my design

I can make my dish interesting

We have been researching ingredients and different produce found locally/around Scotland – we even found chillies being grown in Dumfries.  All the children are really keen to test their dishes to see how they taste.  I can’t wait either.

Rookie Rockstars!

As you will be aware, Rookie Rockstars will be coming to work with our children during the week beginning 30th April. They will be working towards helping the children to record their own CD.  Our pupils will also be given the opportunity to perform in a concert on the evening of 10th May. Rookie Rockstars have sent this letter with further information about the programme. Tickets for the concert will be on sale very soon. We hope you will be able to come along and support this event!
