Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week in school with lots of enjoyable 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 all enjoyed Maths this week as we started a new topic and we were able to understand ratio and proportion and the language that should be used for each of these processes in Maths
• We enjoyed going to the Bud Bus yesterday as we learned a lot about Poppy Scotland and how they try to help and support people in the armed forces, veterans and their families

• We all enjoyed getting some free time this week when it was very hot in the classroom so that we could get some fresh air and a little time outdoors

• We really enjoyed reading our class novel, “The Night Bus Hero” as we nearly reached the end of the book and we also enjoyed doing some comprehension work linked to this story
• Our Primary 7s feel that they have done some very good work on getting their Leaver’s Assembly script together and we did well working as a large P7 group with the teacher to edit and finalise the script.
• Our Primary 6s are continuing to enjoy working on their projects because they are getting more work done on them and are now and adding good detail
• We all enjoyed playing games in PE as we are able to demonstrate our control and passing skills
• Our P7s who took part in the Maths quiz at Deans High really enjoyed taking part and were very happy that they did so well in the competition and came third
• Many of us enjoyed our Health & Wellbeing, Relationships and Sexual Health lessons this week as we were learning new facts and information

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

• Some people felt that there were some of the class not being very responsible during our Health & Wellbeing lessons and being a bit silly

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

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

What a busy week we have had!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Next week 

Coming Up

We have had another very busy week this week and have enjoyed the nice weather. Thank you to everyone who has ensured the children have applied sun cream and bring hats.

Tickled Pink –

• We were enthusiastic about our Outdoor PE sessions, developing our fitness and participating in team games. We also created an obstacle course.
• We carried out experiments about what plants need to grow – we planted seeds on plastic, on an apple, on paper, in water and soil. We used magnifying glasses to investigate the growth and discussed conclusions.
• We created our own individual art work of a plant using a range of materials to show roots, stem, leaves, petals and seeds – we were all very successful in doing this and our finished pictures look wonderful.
• Outdoor learning we were making shadows with our bodies and our friends.
• We made lemonade in class with lemons, some of us liked it and others did not. We then had to go and write instructions on how to make Lemonade. We listed the materials and the step by step instructions.

Green for Growth-

• When we are doing creative art activities we need to get better at taking care of our resources – (lids on pens, glue sticks) and helping to tidy up our classroom afterwards.
• We need to stay focussed and use our number talk skills when working on a maths problem solving task – some of us found this weeks task quite challenging. We had to use the numbers 1 to 8 and find as many different ways to make sums with the same answer.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

• We all felt positive about our peer assessment and marking of our work with Time in Maths with good focus and discussion of the reasons for answers
• Our Primary 6s are continuing to enjoy working on their projects because they are getting more work done on them and are now and adding good detail

• Most of us felt positive about our comprehension work with Mrs Bain and were positive that there was good focus and progress made in these literacy activities

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

• Some people felt that there were a number of people not being responsible and respectful when we had a lesson with Reverend Boyd this week
• Some of us felt that the texts were a little unusual and difficult to understand in our comprehension work

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

Tickled Pink

• We took part in Hub Groups and designed a logo for our group
• We have been practicing our tricky words and are getting much better at recognising these in our reading.

Green for Growth

• We are practicing taking turns and sharing when we are playing together.

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week with many of the activities we discussed about our week related to school camp and the fun we had at Ford Castle. On Friday morning, we discussed our week and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• Lots of us enjoyed the Trapeze activity at school camp because it was a lot of fun and very enjoyable
• Many of us enjoyed the “Passport Around the World” quiz activity at camp because it was active and we were able to share our knowledge of different countries around the world

• The children who went to the Cluster Football event on Friday morning really enjoyed it as they felt that everyone played well. and as well as scoring some very good goals we defended well and made some great saves

• Lots of us enjoyed the Aeroball activity at camp, especially the dodgeball version of this activity
• Our children who weren’t at school camp really enjoyed the art activities during the early part of the week and enjoyed the printing, moulding clay, etc

• Some of us enjoyed the Problem Solving activity at camp especially because we learned a new song about fizzy drinks!
• Lots of us enjoyed the Laser Tag activity and the Zip Line activity too as they were lots of fun

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

• Some people found the Jacob’s Ladder activity a wee bit tricky at camp, especially the group who suffered hail and rain showers when they were doing it
• Some of us found “Passport to the World” a little frustrating when we couldn’t find one of two of the countries that we were asked to discover

Our school value award winners for this week are Isla and Matthew. Our school value award winners for last week were Noel and Zac. Massive congratulations to all of them!

Well done P6/7 for a wonderful week. Have a lovely long weekend and see you all on Tuesday.

Tickled Pink

• School camp was certainly a highlight for those who went. We had the best time at Ford Castle, which we are sure you can tell from the uploaded pictures.
• The people staying at school enjoyed an ‘Arty Week’ where they used clay to make beautiful pinch pots, learned how to draw a 2 point perspective piece, used fresh veg to make art and researched a famous artist. The museum they made on Wednesday was fantastic!
• We enjoyed being back together on Thursday and sharing our adventures with each other.

Green for Growth

• We need to learn to respect the resources in the classroom and not break them.
• We have to build our resilience in the playground and not play with people who make us feel sad or try to get us into trouble.

Lead learners this week are Ryan and Finn, well done boys.
