Primary 1 Blog

Primary 1 have been learning about halves. We made cakes for one another with playdoh then cut them in half. We coloured halves of different shapes and found halves of numbers using our counters. We talked about when in real life we might need to use halves.

On World Book Day, we enjoyed reading Gorilla Loves Vanilla. We talked about words that rhyme in the book and completed a rhyme challenge with our friends in P2/1.  We talked about our favourite ice cream and designed our own delicious ice cream sundae.

P3 Weekly Update

This week we focused on learning our common words through active learning. We were able to do these stations independently following the instructions at the beginning of the lesson. We enjoyed being able to explore Literacy through lots of different activities and alongside our learning buddies.

In Maths this week, we have continued learning about collecting and collating data using tally marks and bar graphs. We had fun in our ‘pancake flipping’ competition where we tally marked how many times each person could flip their pancake. This was then used to create a bar/block graph.

Your child has brought home their Wonderful Week of Work jotter for you to see from this week. There is a sheet stuck in where you can leave feedback on what you have read and your child also.

P3 Weekly Update

This week we have been focusing on our knowledge of how to write a procedure.

Today we were asked to reflect on our prior learning and use it to complete a group task. Miss Walkingshaw provided us with an example of a procedure – ‘How to safely exit the building in a fire’ which builds further onto their learning with Mrs Mooney.

We were asked to find the structure of the procedure first, identify title, goal and materials used before ordering the steps in the correct order. We showed fantastic knowledge of how this genre should be written.

This week  Primary 1 have been investigating finding pairs of numbers that when added together make ten.  We used counters and numicon to help us and enjoyed playing smartboard games and number bond bingo to practise what we have learned.

As part of our school Resilience programme, we talked about people who are special to us and drew pictures of who lives behind our front door,

P6 weekly round up

This week Primary six have been learning about fractions. We have learned how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions by looking at concrete materials and recording our answers.

For our Scottish themed topic, we have been researching the Scottish Colourist, Samuel John Peploe. We recreated one of his pieces “Tulips” – and alongside this we have been drafting out a procedural text to instruct people on how to create their own.

For reading, we have been studying Friend or Foe – this week we focused on using empathy to ask questions about the main character, with some children pretending to be the main character to try and work out how he might be feeling.

For PE we are doing handball – this week we were looking at our passing skills – jump passing, bounce passing and overhead passing.

Primary 6 are very excited for their upcoming excursion to the Sky Academy on Monday – parents please make sure children are in sharp so that we can all leave on time 🙂 thank you

P1 blog

Primary 1 began the week learning about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. We learned that in the run up to New Year, people decorate their houses and that as part of the celebrations, children are given red envelopes with money inside.  We made our own lanterns and red envelopes.

We also took part in the Scots assembly where we sang two Scottish songs – Mairi’s Wedding and Rammie in the Chip Shop. Our two Scots poem winners also performed “Mince and Tatties” in front of the school and P4 parents/carers.

Continuing our topic, P1 also designed a kilt for Katie Morag and enjoyed learning some Scottish dancing in the hall.

This week in Primary 3 we have been learning all about Scotland and its heritage. We were learning the skill of ‘weaving’ where we designed, created and perfected our very own tartan for our families.

We also took part in the Scots assembly where we sang two Scottish songs – Mairi’s Wedding and Rammie in the Chip Shop. Our two Scots poem winners also performed ‘Twa Legged Mice’ in front of the whole school and P4 parents/carers.

Well done everyone!
