Primary 1

Primary 1 have been revising their sounds and numbers to check where we are with our learning.

Last week we were learning about New Year and the different ways it is celebrated around the world.

We made 2024 calendars to take home as a gift for our family. We worked with a partner to practise our cutting skills, making a collage  with old Christmas cards.

As part of our Scots focus we have been learning some Scottish songs and have also been given a choice of a short Scots poem to learn that we will get the chance to recite in class on Friday.

Primary 3/2

Happy New Year everyone! It has been a busy first week back for Primary 3/2.

On Monday some of the boys worked together during their free play time to build this tower out of Kapla. It was so tall they had to enlist the help of Mrs O’Neill to help them put the last few pieces on the top.

In numeracy we have been putting the addition strategies we learned last term into good use by trying to solve some missing number addition problems. We have been using ten and twenty frames as well as number lines to help us count on to find the missing number.

Before we move on to subtraction next week we have been consolodating our number bonds to 10 and 20 in a variety of ways, including completing this number bonds to 20 matching task.

In literacy we have been busy practising our common words and have been posting lots of our work on to Seesaw . Please make sure to check in on that to see what else we have been up to. If anyone needs new sign in codes for seesaw please just let me know and I can sort them for you.

Thanks, Miss McGregor 🙂

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 were learning about symmetry.

On investigation, we learned that symmetry was like a ‘fold’ and that both parts of a shape/pattern/object had to match each other. We also learned that symmetry is an important part of nature as lots of insects have symmetrical bodies/patterns.

We took part in play-based activities linked to symmetry and created our own symmetrical ladybirds.

Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been learning!

Primary 6 Update

Hello everyone,

A reminder that class talks will take place on the day you have selected this week (Monday-Thursday). You must come prepared ensuring you have your personal project jotter with you, whatever you need for your class talk (eg props, powerpoint, pictures etc) and making  sure you have practised at least once to a member of your household – this helps to get rid of the nerves!

I am looking forward to listening to all of your talks.

Thanks,

Miss W

Just a short message to say ‘thank you’ to all the parents/carers and family members who came to the ‘Wriggly Nativity’ performances on Thursday. We really appreciate you taking the time to come and support us.

We were thrilled with how both performances went – the time and effort that children have put in is really something. It has been one of the best nativities I’ve seen/done in my twelve years!

Thank you again and Merry Christmas when it comes!
Miss M 🙂

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 were writing to persuade.

We have been learning about exposition writing, where we are trying to persuade someone our point of view is right. As we had made/decorated beautiful Christmas biscuits for the Fayre last week, we decided to write in order to persuade people to buy them (many thanks to those of you who purchased biscuits from our stall!).

We also took part in some play-based activities linked to our writing theme:

  • we watched/listened to the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’
  • we used construction materials to build a trap to catch the Gingerbread Man
  • we made our own gingerbread designs using different craft materials.

A reminder that the performances of ‘Wriggly Nativity’ will take place on Thursday 14th December at 9.30am and 2.00pm. We hope to see you there!

Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been up to!
