Primary 3

This week, Primary 3 began learning around their new topic linked to the Victorians.

Firstly, we looked at a picture and made predictions about what might have been going on:

We discovered that the painting above shows the coronation of a young Queen Victoria – she was only 18 when she was crowned queen! We also learned that the time period is known as ‘Victorian’ because it spanned across the time when she reigned as queen.

Currently, we are busy creating coronation portraits of Queen Victoria, using lines and basic shapes to build up her features. #effectivecontributors

Check in with us again next week to see how our portraits turn out!

This week P2/1 have been investigating the different stages in the life cycle of a butterfly. We wrote about the different stages and drew pencil drawings of butterflies. We then coloured our drawings  in with bright colours, remembering to make the patterns and colours symmetrical. We enjoyed taking part in butterfly yoga, moving our bodies through the different stages of the butterfly life cycle.

P6 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 6 we have been focusing on the layout and presentation of our work. This has been something that we highlighted when self and peer assessing our work across all areas of the curriculum.

Literacy – We have been working on our joined handwriting and investigating nouns and proper nouns. This is something that we initially found tricky but we have picked up well. We have focused on how to use a dictionary effectively to assist us with learning and expand our vocabularies.

Maths – We have been focusing on how to collect information and the different ways in which it can be presented. We have gathered our own information and explored how to present this in bar graph and pictorial format.

PE – We have completed our block on handball and took part in a class tournament. We focused on team work, positive communication and enjoying ourselves.

Topic – We looked further into the process of digestion, explaining what happens at the different stages and we will be moving on to the respiratory system across the final stages of this term. This week we also celebrated International Womens Day.

 

Languages – This week we had Jess teaching Spanish greetings, numbers and colours. We are thoroughly enjoying learning different languages and are building up a bank of knowledge!

Have a  lovely weekend 🙂

P5 STEM Topic

This week the children were investigating gravity. They used Newton metres to measure the pull of gravity on a range of materials. Then they had to record their results in a table. Their next steps is to write a procedure about this experiment. They are training to be the scientists of the future!

Well done P5!

Primary 7 weekly review

What a quick week it has been.

In Literacy we are focusing on reading and writing procedures. We have discussed all the different types of procedures in everyday life.

In Numeracy/Maths we are continuing area – using formula to calculate the area of composite shapes.

We had a great World Book day on Thursday. We made new book covers for our favourite books, drew favourite book characters and some of us read our favourite parts of our favourite books to the class.  Some of us even dressed up for the occasion.

P5 week beginning 28th February 2022

Magnet Investigation

As part of their STEM topic the children were investigating a variety of things to see if they were able to attract magnets.

In their jotters they had a table and they had to set out their findings: what items were able to attract magnets and what items were not?

Their next steps will be to plan and write a procedure of this experiment.

This week Primary 2 had great fun celebrating World Book Day. They got the opportunity to sit and read in the library as well as taking  part in a scavenger hunt.  They also had great fun showing off their costumes and they even designed their own book covers! They even managed to fit in a game of corners in the hall!!  Here are some pictures of what they got up to….

P6 Weekly Update

Hello everyone,

Another busy week, so here is what we have been up to.

Literacy – We started the week by revisiting imperative verbs and recapping our knowledge of this through interactive stations. World Book Day 2022 was yesterday, where we were able to share our love of literacy and reading with the whole school and our class. We were given the opportunity to read for enjoyment, share our favourite stories with friends and show off our creativity. We were set a drawing challenge where we were asked to draw our favourite character from from a book of our choosing.

Numeracy – We have been focusing on squared numbers where we used our knowledge of multiplication to help us.

Maths – We have been developing our knowledge of information handling. We will be looking to develop this further over the coming weeks.

IDL/Topic – As part of our Human Body Systems topic, we have now moved on to investigate the purpose of the digestion system. This week we looked at the organs involved in this and will be looking into this further next week.

PE – We participated in a class Handball tournament, where we were asked to work collaboratively as a team, use positive language and bring together the skills we had learnt over previous weeks. We did a great job!

We also had pancakes on Tuesday for Shrove Tuesday! They were delicious!!

Have a lovely weekend.
