Seafield Primary School

Tickled Pink

• We enjoyed learning about the Industrial Revolution in Social Studies. We learned that coal and steam played a huge part in shaping our world and that children even younger than us were sent up chimneys and into factories to work.
• In writing we developed our description skills further and wrote about a forest, using synonyms, similes and metaphors.
• For PE we have begun learning about hockey and have begun learning the skill of keeping the ball close to the stick and attacking an opponents ball.

• We are continuing to practise carrying over in addition and making sure that we always carry over the tens and never the ones.
• Our listening skills still need more practise, especially during instructions.

Lead learners this week are Jack and Rosa.

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week with lots of exciting 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 our review of multiplication in Maths as lots of felt that we were making good progress and that we were learning new strategies for trickier multiplication sums

• We continued to enjoy our work on describing settings in Writing this week as we enjoyed trying to use lots of interesting vocabulary to describe places and we also loved that we were given the opportunity to choose the setting s we were describing

• We continued to enjoy developing our golf skills in PE as we focused on iron or chip shots. We are improving the control and accuracy of our shots and we were motivated by the opportunity to win shillings by playing precise shots

• We enjoyed buddying on Friday morning and getting the chance to play with our P1 buddies in the playground

• Lots of us enjoyed the family breakfast on Thursday and getting the chance to welcome adults into our classroom
• Many of us enjoyed French and RME with Mrs Flynn on Thursday as we learned lots of new vocabulary in French and enjoyed researching in RME

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

• Some of us found our Adobe Express session for Roald Dahl Day on Thursday a bit tricky due to issues with getting onto Adobe Express using the school i-Pads, however, lots of us also really enjoyed this session and developing our digital skills

• Some of us felt that we didn’t have enough time for our research in RME, so we are looking forward to getting back to it next week

Our school value award winners for this week are Amelia and Harvey. Congratulations!

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

It has been another busy week in P2/3.

Tickled Pink;

• We have been busy creating our own wee village. We designed our own houses and then laminated  them. We then put them in a container and planted grass seed and wild flower seeds. We need to take care of the seeds so that our houses have a garden.
• We learning about different seeds and enjoyed investigating conkers.
• We enjoyed doing PE outside with different stations
• We sent our letters to the Disco group to ask them to come in and visit us and talk about village life when they were growing up.

Green for Growth;

• It was hard drawing both sides of the houses.
• Making the big house for our wall display.
• It was tricky using Tens and Ones to make numbers to 100
•

We have had another fantastic week in Primary 3/4! Especially after our Judo taster session this morning.

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We really enjoyed actually making our Roman shields in Art this week! We used paint and card to make them life size!
• Some of us enjoyed learning about food chains in Science. We can now explain what this is!
• We’ve kept practising our times tables this week. We are still finding them tricky but understanding them more!
• We all enjoyed participating in the Judo session on Friday morning. We loved learning the moves and skills.
• We always love sharing our items for show and tell with our peers!

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

• We have continued to work on not shouting out our answers this week. Although this has been better, we want to make sure it’s the same every week!
• In numeracy we found some of our work a bit tricky. However, we continue to try our best and be resilient.
• Some of us found working with shapes a bit hard this week, especially as we were discussing new concepts.

Our value award winners for this week are Chloe for being resilient and Lucas M for being ambitious! Well done!

Blake and Harley were also chosen by the children as the pupil council reps for Primary 3/4! Fab work!

Have a lovely weekend, see you on Monday.

We’ve had another super week in P2/3.  It was great to see so many of our family members come and join us for our Family Breakfast and we really enjoyed working with our adults in the classroom and showing them around.

Tickled Pink (things that we think went well)

• We all worked very hard when we were writing about Our Classroom and we shared our writing with the P3/4 class.
• We’ve already started learning about Seafield in the Past but the P6 pupils helped us write down more questions we could ask the DISCO group when they come to visit our class.
• Our outdoor learning had a literacy focus this week and we were finding objects which started with different letters of the alphabet and finding objects that rhyme.
• We were focussing on developing our collaborative skills during play.

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

• We found joining some letters tricky during our Handwriting task and this is something we will need to practise more.
• We worked in random groups of 3 to complete a numeracy challenge (rich task) and although we were good at collaborating, we found it tricky to share our thinking,  We will try the same task again with different numbers and see if we can get better at this.

Lead Learner Update

Our Lead Learners this week were Ava and Rose.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Primary 6/7 have had a brilliant week with lots of interesting and engaging 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 continuing our focus on golf in PE and focusing more on putting as well as developing our ability to control our golf shots more

• We enjoyed our Writing lesson this week as we started our focus on describing settings using lots of exciting descriptive language. We felt that the class concentrated very well on the task

• We enjoyed finishing off our subtraction review in Maths as we were feeling more confident with the process as we continued to practise the formal written method

• Our Primary 7s enjoyed the cluster cross country event that they took past in as it was great to take part in a wider sports event and meet children from other schools

• We really enjoyed our online Art lesson on Friday morning led by the National Galleries of Scotland. We were learning about Andy Goldsworthy and creating our own artworks using various items in the classroom. There was some amazing creativity.

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

• Using compasses in Maths with Mrs Flynn was a little tricky

• Some of us found our Mental Maths session a bit challenging this week as, for some of us, it was the first time we tried these type of questions and learned about the importance of explaining our strategies

Our lead learners were Ben, Niamh, Faith and Che.  They decided on the following three targets for the class; to take care of our buddies, to only speak when asked to and to be respectful to adults in school. They observed lots of learners in the class meeting those targets, which is great news.

Our school value award winners for this week are Ruaridh and Jake. Congratulations!

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