Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week in school with lots of excellent Health Week activities. 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 all really enjoyed our visit from Therapets during Health Week and meeting the lovely dogs, Poppy and Aria
• We all enjoyed our bowling session at Seafield Bowling Club because we were learning how to bowl and playing fun games and it was lovely to get some time outdoors

• We all enjoyed our football session during Health Week with coach Steven as we learned various skills and movements and saw some of his incredible skills and nutmegs

• We loved taking part in the Xcite athletics session as the races and other activities were great fun
• We really enjoyed taking part in the cheerleading session with one of our lovely parents and we enjoyed making our own ‘starbursts’
• We were all delighted to have dress down for the full week due to Health Week activities and also getting to wear our clothes showing our support for Scotland at the World Cup on Friday
• P6s and P7s enjoyed their budding sessions this week with the nursery children and P1s
• We all enjoyed our basketball session with Xcite during Health Week too

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

• Some people felt that we need to make some improvements with singing and dialogue during our P7 Leavers’ Assembly rehearsals
• Some of the children felt that it was hard to have enough space in the hall for the basketball session with Xcite.

Our school value award winners for this week are Amelia and Faith. Massive congratulations to them!

Well done P6/7 for a fabulous week in school. Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week.

What an absolutely fabulous Health Week we’ve had in school this week!

We’ve had lots of visitors as you can see below and we have been able to provide something for everyone. Every class has also been undertaking the Daily Mile with the goal of collectively walking 500 miles. We don’t know if we reached our target yet until we count all the class charts but we definitely had fun chanting our Seafield version of I’m Gonna Be (500 miles) whilst walking.

Mrs Denholm and I as the school HWB Champions would like to thank all our school family and wider community for all their support in ensuring an enjoyable and fun week was had by all.

We’ve had a fantastic week in Primary 2/3 and we’ve all enjoyed different aspects of Health Week.

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We have been working on multiplication and division word problems and we found that drawing pictures to help us to understand the problems was helpful.
• It was exciting finding out about our classes and teachers for next year and we enjoyed the Moving On session.
• We enjoyed having such a great variety of activities during Health Week and it was interesting at the end of the week when we created Diamond 9’s with the activities on offer and noticed that everyone had chosen a different order.

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

• Several people were absent so we didn’t achieve our collective goal of walking 100 miles while doing the Daily Mile, we’d like to continue this and  hopefully we can reach our target early next week.

Our school value award winners for this week are Olivia C for being responsible and Molly for being kind. Congratulations!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

We have had a truly fantastic Health Week, filled with energy, excitement, and lots of opportunities for our children to try something new and stay active.

Have a lovely weekend, hopefully the weather improves for us all!

Well done for a great week, have a lovely weekend everyone!

We have had another busy week this week where we have been developing our data handling skills, writing about how to make a cress sandwich, planning our shoe box garden competition entry. We were also being scientists recording results of experiments we devised to answer the big question – ” Do seeds only grow in soil? ”

Tickled Pink –

• We were able to sort and tally various minibeasts then create a block graph.
• We enjoyed making and eating cress sandwiches!
• Working in our home groups to finalise our designs for our shoebox garden- we enjoyed starting to decorate the outside of the box with different materials. We also filled our boxes with compost and planted some of our edible plants and started to add our creations.
• Learning about pond habitats.

Green for Growth –

• We found our problem solving task quite tricky this week but we showed resilience and didn’t give up!
• Making sure we continue to form our letters correctly, make them sit correctly on the line and remember not to doodle on our pages.
• To continue to demonstrate all of our school values.

Primary 6/7 have had a very different week with the P7 children being at Deans Community High School for their transition days on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday morning, we discussed how the week went for both P6 and P7 children and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• The P7 children enjoyed the 3 days of transition at Deans High School and thought it was wonderful getting to know what it’s like in high school
• The P6 children enjoyed getting detailed feedback on their projects this week and then being able to continue working on them and improving them based on the feedback they were given. They also enjoyed spending some time in other classes in the school

• Some of our P6 children enjoyed helping Mrs Denholm with activities related to Health Week

• The P7s felt that it was fun going round different classes and getting help from their buddies in high school so that they could find the classrooms they needed to go to
• The P6s were really thrilled to find out who their buddies will be after the summer and enjoyed spending time with the nursery children that they will be buddying up when they transition to P1
• Our Primary 7s feel that they were still able to rehearse well for their leavers’ assembly when they were in school on Monday and Friday

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

• One of our P6 pupils put a lot of time into working with i-Pads to find photos for the leavers’ assembly and it took quite some time and a lot of effort
• Some of the P6 children found it quite unusual that the classroom was so quiet and empty when the P7s were on transition

Our school value award winners for this week are Ben and Indi. Massive congratulations to them!

Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week.

What a super week it has been! We were incredibly proud of our P1 children who led a truly fabulous assembly, showcasing their confidence, creativity, and growing sense of teamwork. It was a joy to see them sharing their learning so enthusiastically, and they did a fantastic job making everyone smile.
