Primary 1

 

Primary 1 were happy to receive their Book Bug bag this week. We enjoyed listening to the stories and took part in activities relating to the books. We read “Penelope Snoop, Ace Detective.” After reading, we designed our own rocket to travel to space and packed our own suitcase, drawing everything we wanted to take with us.
We read the book “5 bears: A tale of friendship” then made fur for our own bear and clothes for them to wear.
Our book bag contained our first minibeast book so we designed our own butterfly and decorated its wings.
Thank you to all of the parents and carers  who came to our reading events on Thursday and Friday.  We appreciate your support.

Primary 2/1

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.

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.

Also, a massive ‘thank you’ to all of the parents, carers and friends who came to our reading events on Thursday/Friday. We really appreciate you taking the time to support your child.

I especially loved the efforts from Team Manson for our ‘create a bear’ challenge and couldn’t resist sharing a picture of their work!

Many thanks,
Miss McLaughlin 🙂

Primary 3/2 update

Primary 3/2 have been working hard since the start of term 2 in October. Here are some pictures of our new corridor displays showing off all our hard work. We have started our rainforest topic and have been exploring where rainforests are in the world as well as learning about the 3 main climate zones.

In literacy our focus has been on narrative writing and we have written some fantastic stories.
We have also been learning about Diwali the Hindu festival of light and have created our own Rangoli patterns.


In maths we have started to explore time and have been enjoying some active learning to help us with this tricky concept!

P6 Classroom Learning Update

Today in class we have been learning about Hinduism. We explored the festival of Diwali to find out more about how Hindu’s celebrate, why they celebrate and create our very own Diva Lamps.

We will wait for them to dry overnight and then we will decorate them tomorrow.

Nalan was our expert today, showing us examples of real Diva Lamps alongside giving us tips on how to create our own.

Primary 1

Primary 1 were visited last week by the friendly dragon from Fairyland. He asked for our help.  We completed our first challenge which was to make new homes for the 3 little pigs. We listened to the fairy tale, made our own pig puppets, and then created new homes for the pigs using different materials.

We have learning about the different seasons and talking about signs of Autumn, we created our own Autumn trees by tinfoil printing with paint.

In RME, we have been learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We watched a little girl called Jessica prepare for the festival and enjoy the celebrations. We talked about times in the year that we have celebrations with our own family.

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 participated in money-based challenges linked to ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’.

We:

  • Practised making given amounts using concrete materials (Circles were building amounts to £1 using 10p and 1p coins; Squares were building amounts to 10 using Numicon pieces).
  • Participated in shop role-play to practise buying the items George wanted.
  • Designed/priced our own clothing items to sell in the ‘shop’.
  • Did coin rubbing activities with crayons and paper.

We are still awaiting more clues to find out who our mystery mail-person is!

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

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 received some unexpected mail!

We had been sent a story (‘The Smartest Giant in Town’) and some challenges to go alongside it. The letters were signed with ‘G’ and a footprint. We are starting to make predictions about who the mysterious ‘G’ might be but are hoping we receive some more clues to help us!

We listened to ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’ and participated in play-based challenges linked to the story.

We:

  • Wrote ‘thank you’ letters to George the giant in the role of one of the animals.
  • Designed a new outfit for George to wear.
  • Used construction to build models of the town from the story.
  • Used figures/puppets to retell the story.
