Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 will be issued with home readers.

Please check Seesaw regularly for details of home readers/any associated tasks. We would also love to know about any other reading at home, so feel free to share this on Seesaw!

Some children will be given a wordless book to bring home. The document attached explains a little more about wordless texts and includes questions/prompts to support you when exploring them with your child. We hope you find it useful!

Wordless Book Guidance

The leaflet below gives ideas for question starters/discussion prompts when reading at home with your child. It is useful for readers both with and without words.

Reading Leaflet

Please let Miss McLaughlin know if you would like any further support with reading at home.

P4 Junk Request for Thursday 26th October 2023

Next week (Thursday) the children will be making something exciting from junk!

Please could I ask for your support with donating any recycling you may have e.g. cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, kitchen rolls, clean yoghurt pots, plastic fruit trays etc. If you could send your children in with these on Wednesday or Thursday, I would be very grateful.

Many thanks

Primary 4 – October

 

Black History Month

We learned about Rosa Parks.
“She is significant because she refused to move off her seat for a white person when there were unfair laws to say she had to. She influenced change in her country to change laws” (Grace)

Writing
We were writing Autumn poems with a partner using Glow to type.

Maths
“We are learning to put numbers in the correct order. Sometimes from smallest to largest and sometimes from largest to smallest” (Kyle)

Primary 2/1

Primary 2/1 have been busy this week with writing!

During reading sessions, we have been exploring ‘The Squirrels who Squabbled’ by Rachel Bright. Since we are learning about descriptive writing, we linked this to the story and created descriptions of Cyril the Squirrel. We have been working very hard on using the Description Bubble to structure our writing.

We also completed different play-based tasks linked to the story.

Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been learning!

Maths Week Scotland

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.

Primary 6 Weekly Update

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

Primary 1 have been helping Granny Scott with another problem this week. Her street has litter everywhere, so we made posters that she can put up around the village to encourage people to put any rubbish in the bin.
In class, we talked about how to be a good friend in school and had to complete a challenge with a partner, sorting pictures into friendly and unfriendly behaviour.

Primary 2/1

Hello Parents/Carers!

On Friday, Primary 2/1 brought home their ‘Wonderful Week of Learning’ jotters. These jotters are used each term to show what learning looks like across a week (or in this case, a half-week!).

We would love it if you could take some time to look at your child’s learning and talk to them about it. I am also happy if you would like to leave comments/sticky notes on certain pieces of work. Primary 2/1 have been working so hard and it would be lovely to see what you think!

‘Wonderful Week of Learning’ jotters should be returned to school at some point next week.

Many thanks,
Miss McLaughlin 🙂
