Primary 7
This week we have been working on division using the bus stop method. Please continue to work with your child at home to improve recall of times tables as this helps them with their division facts.
A reminder that the P7 Remembrance Assembly will take place on Tuesday the 8th of November. Please arrive at 2.00 pm ready to be seated in time for the performance which will begin at 2.15 pm.
Thank you
Mrs Mooney
Primary 3
P3’s Seasonal Science Focus this year is ‘Trees’. We have been noticing lots of changes at this time of year.
We read a book called Leaf Man and decided to make our own autumn art using materials from nature. It was okay to use these leaves as they had fallen from the trees. We even found lots of small living things in amongst our leaves like insects and baby snails!

Primary 1/2
In Science this week, we have been learning about the sun and the earth. Primary 1 drew pictures of the sun after looking at photographs of the sun in space. Primary 2 drew a picture of the sun and the earth, showing how the earth turns to make day and night.
The day after our Halloween disco, we imagined what we might see inside a spooky house and wrote a story at writing time.
In Maths this week, we have been learning how to tell the time. We took a big clock outside to help us play ‘What’s the time, Mr Wolf?’ in the playground and we tried our best to match different clock faces to the correct times as quickly as we could.
This week in P4
We have been to learning about Science and experiments and magnets. Â We are planning to carry out experiments with magnets like; how fast they move something, what materials do they stick to, will they stick in water and more. Â We have planned these experiments in pairs and are going to carry them out next week, look out for the results!
In writing, we have been learning about descriptive language.  We created scary stories  and they were so scary we jumped!  It was good fun.
In Maths we have been working on 2D shapes, we have been thinking of ways to remember them and their names. Â We worked in our talking partners. We had a 2D shape quiz and we were in groups with team leaders, we had to choose the right answer.
We have also been sending a small group with Mrs Comrie, we have been learning about square numbers, numbers under zero and maths magic.
We have just started using the Red and Blue Reading boxes. Â Everyone has their own level at their ability. Â We are looking forward to using them because we work independently and get to mark our work.

Online Learning Journals
Our nursery and P1 Online Learning Journals are now live. Â You have received information on how to log in.
We hope you enjoy sharing your child’s learning through these journals and login regularly to view, share and discuss what your child is learning and the progress they are making.
We especially like comments from home being added to build a fuller picture of your child’s learning and life.
If you are having difficulty accessing the Journals please speak to your child’s teacher or Miss Morrison at school.
We will be providing further information in a few weeks to be sure that everyone is comfortable using the system.

Primary 4 working together
Primary 4 have been working very hard in groups and today we demonstrated how much we can get done when we work as a group. Â The children had limited time to complete their posters and they had to work together and focus on the task if they wanted to complete it.
Unfortunately there were a few people absent today but all the children have been involved in this task. Â They have done some fabulous research and have displayed their information in the form of posters. Â Well done P4.
