Primary 4 Team on Glow

Hello,

P4 should now all have their Glow login details at home.  Please let me know if they have any problems logging in and accessing the P4 Class Team.  I have set up a  channel for each reading group and there is a ‘Home Learning’ channel too.  It would be lovely if children shared any ‘outside of school learning’ on the Home Learning channel.

Many thanks

Mrs McJimpsey

Talk Money Week Home Challenge

Talk Money Week is an opportunity for everyone to get involved with events and activities across the UK which help people have more open conversations about their money – from pocket money to pensions – and continue these conversations year-round.

The ‘Magic Mathematicians’ Pupil Voice Group would like to invite you to take part in our Talk Money Challenge.  We would like you to think about how we keep money safe.

We would like you to design and create one of the following:

  • money container
  • wallet
  • purse

You can use recycled junk or fabric.

Please bring in your finished design by Friday 10th November.

The Magic Mathematicians will choose their favourite designs from the following age categories:

  • P1-P2
  • P3-P4
  • P5-P7

Primary 2/1

Primary 2/1 recently completed their first topic, ‘Welcome to School!’. The photo above shows a record of our learning journey.

Through this topic we:

  • Considered what Harry the bear would need to know for starting school and used this as our plan.
  • Made Harry a check-in symbol so he could share how he was feeling.
  • Made Harry feel supported/welcome by building him a home, preparing his packed lunch and reading him stories.
  • Drew and labelled what Harry would need for school in his backpack.
  • Modelled behaviours for Harry such as how we sit on the carpet and how we line up for break/lunch.
  • Considered what we thought made a good friend to help Harry form friendships.
  • Photographed signs/symbols in the school environment which gave us information.
  • Photographed key areas in the school which Harry would need to use.
  • Made a map of the school and linked key areas with their photographs.
  • Identified key adults in the school and added them to the map.
  • Learned a song to help us remember the days of the week.
  • Learned how timetables are used and made Harry his own daily timetable.
  • Built models of our classroom using construction materials.
  • Learned about a ‘birds-eye’ view and looked at maps of our local area.
  • Used photographs of our classroom models to make our own maps.
  • Learned how to give/follow directions using the language ‘forwards’, ‘backwards’, ‘left’ and ‘right’.

We are now getting ready to move on to our next Literacy-based topic. Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been learning!

Primary 2/1 & Miss M 🙂

Primary 1

We are learning different  activities and games to help us with our learning.
We enjoyed the pantomime Cinderella in school on Monday and drew pictures of our favourite part of the show:

B: I loved when they were dancing.”

A: “I liked when they got married.”

O: “I liked when they gave us high fives.”

 

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.

Primary 1

Primary 1 have been learning about 2d shape this week.

We made shapes using lollipop sticks, created our own street with 2d shape houses and practised drawing 2d shapes with chalks during our outdoor learning.

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

Mrs McJimpsey
