A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week, P1 have been learning about electricity. We talked about what electricity can do and discussed its importance in our daily lives. We were able to list lots of items that use electricity.
Today we worked with a partner to sort electrical items to show whether they are powered by batteries or by mains electricity. We know that electricity and batteries can also be dangerous and talked about how to stay safe around them.
This week in Primary 2 we have been successful learners practising our addition and subtraction within 20. We learned about fact families and how to use these to help us find missing numbers in a sum. Here are some pictures of our maths stations.
P5 have been learning to understand why fruit and vegetables are good for our body. We have explored how they can be sorted into the colours of the rainbow with each colour having specific benefits to our bodies.  We learned that red fruits and vegetables can be good for our hearts and yellow provide vitamin C to help our immune system.  We have started some artwork to share our learning with you. Take a sneaky peek:

Hi everyone,
During our short week back to school after the holidays, we have completed lots of fun and engaging learning activities.
Literacy: We have been working on our ability to read for information through our use of skimming and scanning techniques. We looked further into how to summarise information from a chapter in our class novel, where we focused on picking key phrases/words from the text to show our understanding.
Numeracy: We have been developing our knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. Mrs McConville began teaching us about perimeter and area this week.
Topic/IDL: We continued our topic of the Human Body – Body Systems where we looked further into the Skeletal system. We identified the key facts surrounding the Skeletal system and completed a task where we had to work collaboratively to name all of the bones in the body (this was tricky!).
Health and Wellbeing: We looked into gender stereotypes and ensuring that everyone is treated fairly and equally. We had many class discussions where we were able to listen to the opinion of others and express our own opinions.
Have a lovely weekend!
Welcome back everybody after our long weekend. We have been sharing stories about our weekend and our holiday highlights.
We have started a new class novel, Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator. We are enjoying reading the story and completing linked activities.
We have also been learning to measure and weigh different objects. Ask us about length, weight, volume and capacity.
Have a great weekend Primary 4!
Miss Hall 🙂
Primary 2/1 have been successful learners during phonics time. We have been building, reading and writing words with our new sounds. We are also becoming more confident at reading and spelling our common words.
This week, Primary 1 have been exploring textiles. We have enjoyed using wool to create pom poms and practise weaving.
Within maths, we have begun learning about data handling. We counted out different materials to create block graphs. We have also been practising subtracting numbers within 10.
During story time this week, we read Anthony Browne’s ‘The Tunnel’. We then created our own tunnels with blocks and used our imagination to write stories about what might be on the other side of a tunnel.
This week in Primary 2 we have continued to work through our science topic sun, moon and stars. We explored star constellations and looked at the constellations linked to our star signs. We used our data gethering skills to find out everyones star signs. We had to be confident on our before and after number sequences to 30 to work out everyones signs depending on what date their birthday is, before creating a pictogram to display our results.
We continued to focus on our birthdays in french when practising our months of the year. We learned how to ask someone when their birthday is and how to reply saying my birthday is, before using our data gathering skills to put this into a table. Our birthday pictograms from last week helped us to check our answers! Here are some pictures of our work:
P5 started their new IDL topic ‘Forces’ this week. They started by looking at some exciting chain reactions where lots of  forces make mechanisms move. The favourite was the Rube Goldberg Page Turner. They then looked into different types of forces. The first one to be investigated was ‘friction’. A friction experiment using toy cars and elastic bands was conducted. The children used rulers to measure the amount of force needed to move the car on different surfaces. Many predictions were proven correct as less force was needed on smoother surfaces.
