P1a Learning
This week was very exciting.Taffy our class dragon got a letter from his cousin George. The letter told Taffy that all the buildings in Fairyland had been destroyed in a bad storm. Taffy was asked to help. We decided to help Taffy and all the characters in Fairyland to build new houses, castles, caves and a tree house. This morning we made plans for the three little pig’s houses and next week we are going to build the houses from our plans. We are very excited! We are using our skills in working together. We also learned to tell the time using digital clocks and our next step is to match clock faces to digital times. We are going to try to practice reading the o’clock times at home. Let us know how you get on.
P1m Reflective Learning
This week P1m started some drama about fairytales. We made houses for fairytale characters using our bodies. We have also been learning about still image. We made scenes from Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Three Little Pigs. We used our faces to show how we were feeling, but didn’t use our voices.
Til next week…
The Highlights of Our Week
This week we enjoyed our Scots assembly and the particular stars were Lewis Taylor, Bruce Aitken, Lauryn Sandilands and Megan Stevenson. Thanks to our backroom staff!!!
We enjoyed our art lesson and produced excellent work in the style of Claude  Monet. We look forward to seeing the final product.
Our new class novel, “What If They Find Us” by Kathy Clark ,is about 2 refugees and is a gripping story which we are enjoying listening to it.
Primary 3
This week in writing Primary 3 wrote a Health article all about the heart. In maths we have been learning about fractions and halving and doubling numbers. Primary 3 have been also been researching about daily life in ancient Egypt for their topic.
Primary 2
This week in primary 2 we have been learning how to order numbers. Learning about tens and units helped us to order larger numbers.
 In literacy we have been working on segmenting and building words. The children have enjoyed working with the magnetic letters and boards to do this.Â
Our new topic is the sun, moon and stars and we have been learning about this through a variety of activities. We found out about the first man on the moon and used actions to remember his name. Can you remember what the actions were? In drama we worked in groups to man a space shuttle. Pupils enjoyed this activity and particularly the space themed musical background. They were great in role! In art we used chalk drawing and blending skills to create sun, moon and stars pictures. The children chose which one of two pictures to create. They enjoyed being able to create the reflection of the moon on water. The artwork created was super and will be displayed in class.
Primary 6
Last week we started badminton in P.E. with Mrs Pender. We performed our fitness routines to P4 too, it was great fun.
For reading the blue group created good questions and the red reading group made persuasive leaflets.
To finish our Body, Bones and Blood topic we made line graphs to see who had the smallest bones. Each group had a different bone to gather data on.
In writing we created our own characters. We had to make them seem real by adding action, speech and feelings.
We are all looking forward to starting our new topic next week – Titanic!
Remember to keep practising your Scots poem for Monday!
Primary 4
 This week we have been learning about Time. We made a list of all the ways we use time everyday and some children went on a Time Devices Treasure Hunt.  We have also started to learn about our new topic Food Glorious Food. We made a shopping list of all our favourite foods which made us feel a bit hungry!
Remember to wear your watches and look at the clock to help you use what you have learned in class this week.

P1M Reflective Learning
This week we built a house for the Three Little Pigs. We had to make bricks for the walls, make a tablecloth, made a cooking pot for the wolf and made him. We also made pictures of the Three Pigs and nameplates for them. We decided to call them Campbell, John and Andrew. Peek into our room to have a look 🙂
P1m out!
This week in Primary 1a
This week we have been learning about time. We learned that in the past people used the sun to tell the time. We learned that there are 12 numbers on a clock face and how to tell the time using o’clock. Next week we want to learn about digital time on digital clocks.Â
We had fun making up silly sentences using rhyming words.  The funniest one was
The flat bat flew on a cat.
If you can make a funnier one tell us what it is.
Have a great week learning from P1a
