Primary 6 conducted the Hands up Scotland Survey and Sean Wood in Primary 6 has compiled the results. Primary 6 noticed that driving to school is very popular which surprised them since we live in a small village. They urge you to think about how you are travelling to school and make changes if possible. This will help our environment as well as reducing the amount of traffic around our school. Please see below for Sean’s results.

This week Primary 4 have worked hard on some tricky tasks.  They found some things difficult

 

This week we found Spelling difficult because we got trickier words.  So we practised our words and they are easier.

This week we found writing numbers in Maths difficult so we used the information card to help us.

We found Maths difficult because we had to write numbers in words so we kept practising and it was easier by the time we got to the end of the sheet.

We found the Maths Chilli challenge tricky.  It is choice of mild, hot or spicy problems which we could choose which one to solve.  So we used the strategies the teacher gave us to help us.

We found the Maths worksheet where we had to write the words for numbers tricky so we kept trying and once we managed one we went on to the next one.

We found the listening activity tricky because we needed to listen carefully so we just kept trying.

We have settled in really well this week and are working on following instructions.

We are enjoying watching Newsround because it is interesting and we get to see what is happening around the world.

We have been reminding ourselves about the Golden Rules and Children’s rights and we are going to use these to create a Class Charter which will help our classroom be a better learning environment.

We have been learning new skills at PE.  We practised throwing and catching.  It was good fun.

We have chosen our representatives for the different groups in the school.  Candidates had to present a short speech to say why they would be best for the job. Then we voted and the person with the most votes won.

Finally we have been using ClassDojo to earn points by working hard, behaving well and helping others.  We have little monsters which are our characters.  We like earning points this way.
