P6 Invertebrate Research

This term, P6 have been learning about plants and animals. We have been learning about classification and adaptation, as well as carrying out research on animals of our choice. We wanted to share some of what we have learned with you. Have a look at our presentations about invertebrates and their subgroups using the links below:

Thinking Back Looking Forward Pupil Profiles – P2-P7

Today pupils in P2 – P7 will bring home their THINKING BACK LOOKING FORWARD profile for this term.    This is a profile of what your child sees as their progress in learning so far this session and also includes a summary of the pupils’ current strengths and next steps from the class teacher.  Pupils in nursery and P1 will have learning to share through the Online Learning Journals system.

This is a new approach to reporting to parents for us this term and – as discussed in September’s newsletter – it forms a part of our FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER – SHARING LEARNING programme which we are developing this session.

We hope you find these new mid-year profiles more useful that the old-format final report in June.  Please bring your copy along to your appointment on Wednesday or Thursday evening and you can discuss it with the teacher then.   All pupils took home an appointment slip for parent appointments on Friday – if you don’t have yours – please call the office.

Termly Learning Overviews – Term 1 2016/2017 (August-October)

Each term class teachers plan the areas of focus for this term’s learning.  These overviews are shared with home and with the pupils.  The overviews for this term below were sent home in September with each child.  You can check them here and download a copy of your child’s plan.  This can help frame a discussion with your child on what they are learning and where they are finding success or challenges.

Friday 7 October 11am – Families Learning Together – Session 1

Next Friday is our first Families Learning Together – Sharing Learning session.  This is for pupils in P2 to P7.  Anyone from home is welcome to come along and share the pupil’s learning.  Please ensure the reply slip is completed and returned so we know who is coming – for security.  The invite below is downloadable from the link – has been emailed – and is in each child’s bag.

If necessary – a simple note to the class teacher on whom to expect will be sufficient.  We look forward to seeing you then and are all very excited at building on our programme of developing home engagement with learning.

P6 have been learning to make iMovies

Mr Eagleson and P6 have been making some of the movies mentioned in this month’s newsletter.

We all learned to use the app iMovie together and shared ideas and tips to make them. The stories are silly because the learning was about the skills we used to make them, not the content.

We co-operated, problem solved and used a variety of skills for learning, life and work. Check out our work below.

The movie below was made by Lewis, Miai, Mathew, Freya and Jed.

Hands Up Scotland Survey

Primary 6 conducted the Hands up Scotland Survey and Sean Wood in Primary 6 has compiled the results. Primary 6 noticed that driving to school is very popular which surprised them since we live in a small village. They urge you to think about how you are travelling to school and make changes if possible. This will help our environment as well as reducing the amount of traffic around our school. Please see below for Sean’s results.

P5 are using Didbook

P5 have been increasing their use of Didbook.  This is an online space for recording and reflecting on learning.  Here is an example of what it looks like and a short entry from Jay in P5:

Didbook entry

We will keep you updated on how we are using this later in the term.

P5 – P7 have all been given logins for Didbook and can access this from home.
