Seafield Primary School

Tickled Pink

• Visit from PC Henderson talking about firework safety.
• P5s enjoyed their visit to Whitburn swimming pool.
• The class were taught by Miss Smythe today, a Victorian teacher. She came to us from 1875 and was very strict. She made us recite times tables, do joined up handwriting and sewing.

1. Still working on rounding to the nearest 10 and 100.
2. Trying our best to read the questions ourselves without asking the teacher.

Primary 6/7 have had a great week in school with lots of wonderful learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we discussed our week in school and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We really enjoyed finishing off our character description writing as we felt there was great focus and lots of us managed to complete at least two character descriptions

• We enjoyed our assembly practice as we feel we are making progress and look forward to sharing this with our parents and carers next week

• Many of us enjoyed learning new strategies for dividing by two digit numbers and trying out these strategies in the work that we were doing

• We also really enjoyed our Art lesson as we continued creating our own artwork in the style of Keith Haring

• Lots of us enjoyed our developing our skills for handball in PE
• Many of us enjoyed our work in French with Mrs Flynn
• Some of the Primary 7s who were in the Primary 6/7 class last year, had their bike checks for their Bikeability course and enjoyed taking part in this
• Then class enjoyed welcoming PC Henderson to the class this week to hear his advice and guidance on fireworks and bonfires

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Some of us found the work in Maths with dividing by two digit numbers, quite tricky and a little confusing

• Some of us found Maths work with Mrs Flynn, when we were creating 3d shapes, to be difficult especially with the cutting out and sticking the shapes together

Our lead learners for this week were Georgia, Matthew, Archie and Annie.

Our school value award winners for this week are Emma-Jo and Harris. Congratulations!

Well done for a fantastic week, P6/7. Have a lovely weekend.

We have had a fun week in Primary 2/3!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• As today is World Mental Health Day, yesterday we wrote about Happy Memories and we enjoyed sharing our happy memories with the class.
• During Literacy Circuit the Pink group were able to think of lots of ‘sh’ words.
• We have been learning about rounding numbers to 10 and we were really successful at playing the Rounding Rockets game.
• We had great fun playing Chaos Tig and Golden River in PE with Mrs Robertson.

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Some of us need to concentrate more and try harder to complete tasks.
• We need to work hard on our personal writing targets like using joining words and remembering finger spaces.

Our value award winners for this week are Elodie for being ambitious while learning fractions and Olivia C for being ambitious during writing.

We have had a lovely week in Primary 3/4! We really enjoyed Music on Thursday and are sad that next week is our last session!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that Numeracy has been a strength this week! We have enjoyed working on our addition and subtraction, especially on harder sums!
• We have enjoyed using real leaves in our Art this week! We collected them from the playground and stuck them onto our work to create an Autumn picture!
• Some of us have enjoyed building our textbook skills this week.
• We loved cutting up pizza in Numeracy! We have been working on our Fractions knowledge and used concrete materials to display this.

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Although we enjoyed using real leaves in our Art, some of us were finding it tricky to stick them to the page. However, we were resilient and kept trying until it worked! Now our Art looks fabulous on the wall!
• Some of us found division a little bit tricky this week. This is something that we are going to keep working on.

Our value award winners this week for being resilient is Grace and for being responsible is Olivia! Well done!

Great week Primary 3/4, have a lovely weekend!

Primary 6/7 have had a fantastic week with lots of great learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we discussed our week in school and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We really enjoyed Outdoor Learning as it was fun going for a walk around Seafield Law

• We enjoyed Writing as we felt we included a lot of great descriptive language in our character descriptions and made great progress

• We thoroughly enjoyed our last golf session in PE as we demonstrated our excellent progress

• We also really enjoyed our Art lesson as we started to create our own artwork in the style of Keith Haring

• Lots of us enjoyed our work in Maths as we made wonderful progress with our division work
• Many of us enjoyed our Adobe Express session on Wednesday about Black History Month and we created a document to illustrate the Underground Railroad
• Lots of the Primary 7s enjoyed their high school visit on Thursday evening and getting the chance to meet some of their future teachers
• Some of our class really enjoyed our Rights Respecting School Steering Group meeting as we felt it was very productive

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Some of us found the work with shapes in Maths to be a bit tricky partly due to not demonstrating great listening skills

• Some of us found our class assembly preparation a bit tricky and this is something we will work on much more next week

Our lead learners for this week were Harvey, Amelia, Archie and Annie and they set the following targets for our class; Don’t talk back, Try to finish all of your tasks and Don’t argue with the teacher. The wonderful news is that our lead learners noticed lots of people meeting those targets this week. Well done!

Our school value award winners for this week are Georgia and Matthew. Congratulations!

Well done for an excellent week, P6/7. Have a lovely weekend.

We have had a very busy week in P2/3

Tickled Pink

• We painted trees using broccoli, cotton buds , lego, tin foil and bubble wrap. We created our very own Autumn picture.
• Emma and Rory came to visit from West Lothian Museums to show us and games from long ago. They let us keep a Victorian spinning top, a metal hoop and rail and a moving picture show. It was very interesting. We enjoyed playing with all of the toys and learned that they are very different and they were not made from plastic. Some of the toys were very old. Some of the toys were wooden and none of them had any batteries or used electricity. Children did not have many toys long ago and had to use their imagination.
• We were working on fractions and counting in 10’s.

Green for Growth

• Some really hard sums- working out if its an add or take away.
• Keep working on everyone sitting still on the carpet – and not chatting.
• Some of our work on quarters has been tricky this week.
• We are all going to try really hard at tidy up time to work together and make sure our class is nice and tidy!

We have had a really fun week in Primary 3/4! We particularly liked doing our Hub groups this morning and working with the rest of the school.

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that we are getting better at rounding in Numeracy. We have been practising very hard this week and remembering our rhymes to help us.
• We have also really enjoyed doing Music on a Thursday. We have been learning about rhythm and beats.
• In Science this week we were focusing on predators and prey. We really enjoyed discussing what this means and what examples we know already.
• In Art we have been working on sketching. We have been enjoying using different techniques in our work. This is something that we want to keep working on.

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Some of us are still finding some areas in Maths tricky however we are definitely seeing improvements!
• Some of us feel that during our class novel, some people are not doing their best listening. This is something we are going to focus on.
• We also would like to keep working on our spelling, especially in our writing. We are going to work on using our strategies to help us.

Our value award winners for this week are Murren for being respectful and Oliver for being kind!

Have a lovely weekend Primary 3/4 and I’ll see you on Monday!

Tickled Pink

• In PE we have been doing hockey, learning new skills such as how to hold the stick correctly and playing games about tackling other players.
• For writing, we watched a video and then wrote a fantastic descriptive piece of writing about it. We really excelled ourselves and Miss Halliday is very proud.
• We have been improving our times tables knowledge by practising and looking at dividing as well.

Green for Growth

• Some of us are forgetting to bring in our reading homework. Well done to those who have, you are a star!
