A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
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)
There is now a home learning grid based upon on our class novel ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio on our Primary 6 Microsoft Teams page. The children have been shown the grid and we discussed the activities.
This week we continued learning about significant individuals through Black History month. We explored the impact that Martin Luther King Jr had on the past and present day. We created our own dreams like he did which led into a piece of artwork from one of his iconic speeches.
We have had a very busy week in Primary 3/2, we started off our week learning about symmetry and all the different objects that have lines of symmetry in them. We then created our own symmetrical lady birds by finger painting one side then folding them in half to create the symmetrical pattern on the opposite side.
On Tuesday morning we tuned into the Authors Live event with Nadia Shireen. We listened to some excerpts from her book and then got the opportunity to draw along with her as she showed us how to draw some of the main characters from her book.
Our Fairytale focus this week has been The Three Little Pigs. On Friday we were split into three groups; paper, straw and bricks we then had to use those materials to create a house just like in the fairy tale.
Miss Mcgregor was very impressed with our creativity! Super job P3/2 🙂
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!
Primary 2/1 & Miss M 🙂
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.
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 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.
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 🙂
As Primary 1 are just beginning their school journey, snapshot jotters will be sent home next term.
Hi everyone, I have attached below a copy of our Termly Overview for Term 1.
Thanks, Miss McGregor 🙂
