P6 Writing

Today, P6 have been using ambitious Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers and Punctuation (VCOP) to up-level boring sentences. Here are some examples:

Miai and Jed: As the sun woke up, the blue-eyed, little boy slowly shouted however nobody heard him.

Jessica and Ula: Suddenly, my far uncle Steve sneezed very loudly like a tornado with snot spiraling round!

Freya and Logan: The long nosed, evil witch chuckled and said, “Go wash the oven.”

Ewen and Jasmin: The lazy, skinny boy screamed, “Bravo!” although the team lost.

Ella and Edward: The old, tall boy shouted at his mum, “Can I have a sweet?” even though they had none left.

Mya and Katy: As it became dark, silently the baby bat ate lots of berries before dinner.

Hallie and Jay: Eventually the fluffy, white puppies were yelping for their mum, “Yelp, yelp, yelp!!”

Aiden: Out of the blue an evil witch laughed like a dying horse.

Katie and Iona: The small, skinny, slimy snake slithered slowly along.

Georgie and Matthew: The bright sun shone its light as the curtains magically opened.

Oskar and Lauren: Nastily the teacher screamed at the children.

Daniel and Katie: For no reason, the scary, green witch laughed with terror.

Euan and Lewis: Dreadfully, an enormous boy shouted at his mother because he couldn’t get it his way.

 

P6 weekly blog

Our new topic is rivers. Next week we will be going on a trip to investigate the River Almond. We are going to look at the river at Almondell Country Park and also at Crammond in Edinburgh.  Please make sure you have welly boots and appropriate clothing because we will be outside all day. We will be very tired that night.

P6 have done wonderful imaginative writing about The Beast.  It was difficult to choose, but this week’s star writer is Dolce.  Well done everyone.

P1 Reflective Learning

This week Primary 1 have been learning about Robert Burns.

We drew portraits of him (which you can see in the picture) and wrote words and sentences about him.

We learned..

  • That he wrote poems and songs
  • We have a Burns Supper
  • We wear kilts at a Burns Supper
  • We eat haggis, neeps, tatties, oatcakes and cheese
  • Grown-ups drink whisky and they have a toast.

We are looking forward to our own Burns supper tomorrow!

Until later 🙂

Primary 1

Primary 3

Primary 3 have been learning about using adjectives in their writing to make it more interesting. See if you can improve these sentences by adding some interesting describing words.

1. The boy ran down the street.

2. I walked round the house.

3. I put on my jumper.

Weekly Blog from P6

This week we have been learning poetry! We were studying the Green man poem and enjoyed making up our own poems. For homework we have been learning Scottish poems for our Scots Assembly.  We have also been learning and practising ‘Strip the Willow’ and we hope to perform this at the Scots Assembly. For our Scottish topic we have been learning about Lord Joseph Lister. We have been very busy since we came back from our holidays!

P6 Christmas Fair goodies

In P6 we have been looking at persuasive writing. Molly Gilles and Kristinna Sharp produced a fantastic advert each to persuade you to come to our Christmas Fayre. The children have been working with P7 to produce a range of goodies to sell at the fair. Also P5, P6 and P7 have been practising some lovely Christmas carols to entertain you with at the Fair! See you on Friday!

P1 Reflective Learning

In Primary 1 we have been learning new sounds.

We have already learned…

‘P’ – is pink and we use our lips
‘A’ – is black and we use our tunnel
‘S’ – is light blue and is a quiet tongue sound
‘C’ – is yellow and is a throat sound
‘M’ – is red and we use our lips

See if YOU can remember all of the sounds and colours we learned this week.

Good luck.. We’ll be testing you!

Primary 1 & Miss McLaughlin

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!

Primary 3

Primary 3  have been writing  descriptions of what their own personal Egyptian god would  look  like and do. Here is an example of what they have been  writing.

My god is called Tolkanic. He has four red and blue crowns, small pointy ears, 39 teeth and pure black eyes. He has a white skirt around his waist. His head is in the shape of a husky. Tolkanic can control the moon and fight of naughty thieves trying to steal children during the night.
