Seafield Primary School

We have had another super week of learning this week, we have been learning about the months of the year, days of the week and seasons and also learning more about Scotland, famous landmarks and traditions.

Tickled Pink

We have been working hard on our literacy tasks this week and have been carrying out different reading  comprehension tasks.

We have been enjoying our Scottish Dancing and can confidently sidestep in both directions with our partner then finish with a set of side kicks.

We were looking at Forth Rail Bridge and had a challenge to create a bridge using lego or kapla that could cross a material river- we then had to test it was strong enough to hold some toy characters.

We can sing the months of the year in order and know the days of the week and months of the year.

We were very proud of our handwriting this week.

We enjoyed listening to The Gruffalo in Scots and using Scots vocabulary.

We learned about Steven Brown and read some of his books about the McCoos

We have been looking at some famous Scottish landmarks and traditions and have researched them using books and our knowledge to draw and write about them. it is a bit tricky finding exactly what we are looking for in some books.

It was tricky when we were given a month and had to say the name of the month before and after it or to give the previous two months.

We chose our Scots poems which we have to learn to recite, we will do these in class next week and 3 of us will be picked to perform at the whole school assembly.

We were learning about algebra in class it was very tricky.

What a busy week it’s been in Primary 6/7.   Following our discussion, here’s what we would like to share about our learning this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We really enjoyed our PE this week as it was our last tag rugby session and lots of people scored tries.
• In Maths we were learning about mixed and improper fractions and we found this fun to do because we now have a good understanding of it.
• During outdoor learning we went to ‘Bonner’s Bog’ where we enjoyed experimenting with the different textures of ground and using trees and sticks for den building.
• We enjoyed working on our Famous Scots projects because we were able to choose who to research and in what way to present our findings.  Some of us also further developed our digital skills by choosing Power Points as a way to share what we had researched.
• We were also  developing our sketching skills when producing a piece of Art about our chosen famous Scottish person.

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

• Some of us felt that learning our Scots poems for the recitals in class has been tricky as they contain so many unfamiliar Scots words.

• We also have a lot of songs to learn for our upcoming Burns Supper so this has been a challenge too.

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

Have a lovely weekend.

We have had a fantastic week in Primary 3/4!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• This week some of us think that we have been working really hard in Numeracy. We have been learning about two step problems and have been completing these in our jotters.
• We think that our Assembly is coming together really well. We are still learning our lines and practising our songs but getting better every time!
• We’ve enjoyed doing our poems this week in Writing. We’ve been creating our own ones and they have been fabulous!
• We’ve also been enjoying learning about Scottish culture this week. We have created tartan, learned about Robert Burns and learned some Scottish dances!

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

• We need to remember to not bring toys in during the week, they are causing distractions. This is only allowed on a Friday.
• We want to keep displaying our values. We have been focussing on respect in class and want to continue to do this through listening and not talking while others are.

Our value award winners this week for being ambitious is Emma and for being resilient is Leo. Well done!

Have a great weekend everyone, see you on Monday!

Happy New Year!

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful busy first week back after the festive holidays 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 starting our famous Scot projects linked to our Burns theme because it was great to choose our famous Scot and fun to start learning about them and some of us were able to start our art activity to create a portrait of them

• We really enjoyed our work with equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions in Maths and we felt we got a good understanding of the processes and were then able to successfully complete tasks

• We also enjoyed our work on writing Scottish poems because we got the chance to consider Scots language and also think about the structure of our poems and the use of rhyming patterns

• Primary 7s really enjoyed their first online Spanish transition lesson with Miss Cabezudo Rodriguez from Deans High School
• We really enjoyed our PE lesson with Mrs Robertson as we had lots of fun playing dodgeball and taking part in another fun challenge

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

• Some of us felt that getting started on our Scots poems was a little tricky

• Some of us found it a bit difficult as we made a start to learning our Scots poems for the recitals in class as some of the words were a bit tricky to read and pronounce
• Some of us found the process for our famous Scots artwork a little tricky and we will continue to work on this next week

Our school value award winners for this week are Matilda and Archie. Congratulations!

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

Happy New Year!

We’ve had a great start to the new year in P2/3.

Tickled Pink

• We learned about compass points and played a Four Corners game where we had to run to the North, South, East or West.
• We also learned about journeys and giving directions and after learning a strategy to help us with  left and right we gave directions to our peers and directed the Beebots to various places on a map.
• We learned about what Winter is like in Scotland and this inspired us to write fabulous Winter acrostic poems which we performed for the P1 class.
• During outdoor learning we went on a Winter Scavenger Hunt and we discussed how our local environment has changed since the Summer.
• In PE we had lots of fun playing games with the large parachute.

Green for Growth

• We listened to some Scottish poems and we think its going to be difficult to learn them for the Burns Assembly because some of the words are very tricky.
• We are going to work on our indoor voices because some of the class are using loud voices since we’ve returned.
• Some children also think we need to try harder to tidy the classroom at the end of the day.

Our Lead Learners this week were Molly for being Responsible and Freddie for being Ambitious. Well done to both for trying so hard in class!

We have had a great week in Primary 3/4 after the holidays!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that we’ve worked hard in Numeracy this week. We have remembered a lot from before the holidays!
• We have managed to get back into a good routine after being off!
• We have been learning about Robert Burns and Scottish culture. We are all excited to start learning our poems.
• We have started to practice our class assembly! This has been going really well and some of us know our lines already.
• All of us think that we have been trying really hard in our work this week. We want to keep this up!

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

• We want to keep practising our school values. Some of us have been reminded of this and want to get better at showing them.
• Some of us found our writing a bit tricky this week. We started looking at poems and created our own Winter acrostic ones. We had to think really hard to come up with ideas.

Our value award winners this week for being kind is Fraser and for being respectful is Robyn. Well done!

Have a lovely weekend, see you next week!

We have had a fantastic week in P2/3 with lots of festive activities and celebrations.

Tickled Pink

• We had our whole school assembly on Tuesday with Rev Boyd and we enjoyed hearing the brass group playing Jingle Bells, some of them had only been playing for 10 weeks. We also enjoyed seeing P5/6 ‘s video about a modern day twist on the Christmas Story and hearing P6/7 read passages for us. We were able to perform some of our songs from the nativity.
• We played a festive roll the dice game where we made up different stories using different characters , settings and plot cards, we then wrote our own and read them at story time!
• We enjoyed our maths challenges identifying different number combinations of gifts in Santa’s sacks. We made it more challenging by increasing the number of gifts and numbers of sacks.
• We really enjoyed our Festive STEM morning, creating different patterns, zip wire for Santa or a winter wonderland!
• We really enjoyed doing show and tell on Wednesday morning.
• We loved our Christmas Party !
• We loved our trip to the cinema!
• We had an achievement assembly on Friday morning.

Green for Growth

• We do need to get better at looking after our class resources when we are doing creative tasks, some pens lost lids and so did some glue sticks.
• We also need to try and keep our work area clear when we are using STEM materials as there was lots on the floor and it is the same few children who help tidy up.

Have a wonderful festive break everyone and we look forward to seeing you back next year on the 5th of January 2026!
