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.

Primary 1/2

In Art this week, P1/2 have been exploring using different printing techniques to create pictures.

At the start of the week, we went out to have a look at the trees around the school grounds and took turns to take photographs of them. We noticed that although many of the trees were still green, some were beginning to change into different colours for autumn. When we got back to class we used our fingers to print the many colours of the leaves with paint.

We also investigated using fruit and vegetables for printing. Here are some of the images we created:img_0455

P6 Weekly Update

Here is what P6 have been learning about this week, courtesy of Katie C, Lauren and another helper:

  • We made powerpoints about two battles: The Battle of Prestonpans and the Battle of Culloden. We were showing them to the class.
  • For gym this week we did hockey and basketball. In hockey we were dribbling and push passing the ball to our partner. In basketball we practised street basketball, line ball and shooting. Some people find street basketball a bit challenging.
  • For maths, we have been adding decimals mentally.
  • For language, we have been learning to read and write instructions. We wrote our own instructions on how to make a Jacobite targe (shield). You can have a look at our Jacobite targes in the picture below.

Next week P6 are going on a class trip to learn more about the Jacobites. Please remember to bring warm, waterproof clothing, wellies or waterproof walking boots and a packed lunch.

Working together on research

This week the Primary 4’s have been working really hard to find out more about the Vikings.  They chose a group and aspect of Vikings to research and developed open Higher Order Thinking Skills questions.  Now they are completing research to find out more about the Vikings and share this with the rest of the class.  The children worked really well together using each others strengths to get the most from their time.

Families Learning Together – Sharing Learning with P2-P7

Remember our first Sharing Learning drop-in is tomorrow from 11am 12pm.   You will have a chance to speak with your child about their learning and look at the work they are producing.  The help sheet below will be available to help you get the most from your session.

It has questions you might ask and ideas for recording in the child’s work your comments on the learning.

If you have not already returned the slip from the invite please do so ASAP so that we know who to expect at 11am – especially if the person attending is not someone we already know. Alternatively you could call or send in a note.

Primary 5

This week, Primary 5 finished their portraits of Mary, Queen of Scots.

We had been learning about the different ways that we could apply paint (dabbing, scratching, swirling brush strokes) and how to create highlights/shadows. We were trying to create the most detailed pictures we could. What do you think? Which Mary is most marvellous?

P 2 / 3 Weekly Blog

We have been learning all about mummification!

When ancient Egyptians  died they made them into a mummy ready for the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians believed there was an afterlife after you died.
