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 🙂

P6 Weekly Update

Morning everyone,

We have had another busy week in Primary 6. Here is what we have been up to…

Literacy – We have been working on imperative verbs (bossy verbs) to help us when we begin writing our next piece of writing this term, which is a procedure. We were provided with our feedback from our information report, where we discussed our targets and areas of strength/improvement. As a class, we developed our knowledge of how to link and join our writing which is one of our core targets. We also worked on our knowledge of prediction and clarifying.

Numeracy/Maths – We have been learning about the Order of Operations. We have worked hard this week to understand the correct order to work out different sums. Mrs McConville continued to develop our knowledge of perimeter.

IDL/Topic – We have been learning further information about the skeleton. We did some personal research where we picked an area of the skeleton and had to find out key facts/information. We will be moving onto the digestive system next and we can’t wait!

Languages – This week we had Christina introducing us to Romanian. We started by learning basic greetings alongside numbers. We are loving this opportunity to learn different languages!

Have a lovely weekend!

Over the past two weeks we have been learning Italian courtesy of Anastasia. She has been teaching us how to say basic greetings, months of the year and colours. We have loved getting to share our passion for languages as a class.

We have been learning about different types of angles this week. Miss Walkingshaw taught us about the different types of angles and how to use a protractor correctly to work them out. We also searched for angles within the classroom environment and symmetry using mirrors.

Miss Walkingshaw set us a challenge to re-create a scene from the movie, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. We used oil pastels and different shading techniques to create the ‘Grinch Pinch’.

P3 Blog

Here are some of P3’s highlights of the week:

“We were learning how to play hockey in gym. We learned how to push pass and dribble.”

“We had to stand at the green line and push the ball with our feet on the ground.” Cadence

“In science we learned about Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen. He invented the x-ray machine during the Victorian era by mistake. If you are a scientist and you make a mistake, it can be a happy mistake because you can learn something new. It’s the same for our learning in P3!” Eve

“We learned about the skeleton. We had to cut out the bones and stick them together to make a big skeleton.” Olivia P

“We have been learning our times tables in maths. We need to be confident and count up in fives.” Aiden N

“In Maths Talk we have been learning to build a bridge to another friendly number to help us add.” Connor L

This week’s learning update comes from Lauren:

We have been working on our map skills for our rivers topic. We learned about contour lines and how to use them. We also learned how to use scale and made scale maps of our classroom for an Easter egg hunt.

In Golden Time today, some of us made a barn out of connecting shapes. We think it’s cool because we could tip it over without breaking it but it’s very warm! We could fit four people at a squash or two comfortably. What do you think?

Primary 2

This week the children took part in our Scottish Assembly.  Well done to Nathan and Oliwia for reciting their Scottish poems and to Lucas, Cerys, Callum and Kamila for performing The Canadian Barn Dance with pupils from primary three.

We have also been learning about 3D shapes and have used them to make models.  In literacy we have been learning about magic ‘e’ and how it changes the sound of the middle vowel, for example, cap becomes cape.  Can you find some more words that can be changed by adding magic ‘e’ to them?

Primary 1/2

This week one of the things we have been learning is about symmetrical patterns.  We made our own patterns on butterflies and predicted what would happen when we folded them in half.  We also looked at symmetrical shapes and predicted from half a shape what it would be once it was completed. 

Challenge – At home look for symmetrical shapes and patterns and leave a message on the blog telling us what you found.  Use the address in your homework diary to post what you found.

What’s going on in Primary 6 this week?

Primary 6 have been very busy in our first week back at school.

We have been finishing our newspaper reports about the Titanic.  We realised that we were writing them on the 101st anniversary of the Titanic sinking.  We are going to make them look old by using coffee and tea to stain the paper.

In maths some people were learning about improper and mixed fractions.  We like it because we do lots of different activites to help us learn.

We had an eco challenge to find out which are the tastiest apples and pears and which ones grow in Scotland.  We tasted a range of varieties and collected data about our classes favourites.  We presented our data on a graph using apple and pear designs.

P6 and P7  went down to Uphall Station Park to give it a spring clean from litter.  We think we did a great job!

Have a nice weekend!

We hope everybody has a lovely Easter holiday see you all soon.
