P3/4 Friday 6th December

Tickled Pink

  • Learning to find right angles around the classroom using a right angle finder in maths.
  • P3s did some free writing using Word on an ipad. Some of us were able to use the dictate function and immersive reader to listen to it back.
  • P4s did very well in their Bench ball tournament up at Deans Community High School, they each got a certificate of achievement.

Green For Growth

  • Learning about the nativity story with Reverend Boyd was hard because she was telling us about more people in the Bible story that we had not heard about.
  • In reading, we had to make predications without looking ahead, some of us didn’t manage to not peek.

Lead learners this week were Chloe and CJ.

P5/6 Friday 6th December

Tickled Pink:

  • During outdoor learning, we were expanding our compass knowledge that we had been working on in maths. We drew 8 point compasses, then we gave instructions to our partners to help them navigate around the playground and finally, we played Simon Says with compass directions.
  • We have been working on symmetry this week. We were looking at different points of symmetry, finishing complex shapes to show their symmetric side and drawing our own symmetric patterns.
  • We enjoyed writing an imaginative recount about gaining superpowers and experiencing a day in the life as a superhero.

 

Green for Growth:

  • We were recreating our Charles Rennie Mackintosh roses that we had drawn on Paint on our laptops. We found it a little tricky to work what tools and how to use them.
  • We struggled this week to finish our list of materials and instructions for our Enterprise topic project. This is something we will really need to focus on this week.

 

Our Lead Learners are Jodie and Ruaridh.

P1 Friday 6th December 2024

Tickled Pink:

  • Nativity rehearsals are going really well and the children are super excited to be performing it next week for the school children to see and then families.
  • Our focus during topic this week is about Doctors and the children have enjoyed some role play and can talk about how to make an appointment and get a check up, and that sometimes you might need to get some medicine. We discussed that adults should always help us take medicine and check it is the right amount – and you never take medicine that has someone else’s name on it! We have also been learning the names of some the equipment that doctors might use to check us over.
  • In maths we have been focusing on how to write numbers 11-15 this week and how we can build the numbers by doing a group of ten and then some extras.

 

Green for Growth:

  • In writing this week we were describing a teddy bear – some of the sentences were a bit challenging but the children done really well with the help of a word mat and the describing bubble.
  • Some children are finding it a bit tricky to recognise numbers 11-15 but we will keep practising.

 

Our Lead Learners next week are Olivia N and Elodie.

 

Have a lovely weekend,

Primary 6/7 – Friday 6th December

Primary 6/7 have had another great 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:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

  • We really enjoyed our Maths work on improper and mixed fractions and we worked hard at converting fractions from mixed to improper and vice versa
  • We feel that we are making good progress with using technology appropriately and this would be a good place to remind everyone to fill in the responsible user form at home. This is an online form that has been sent out by the school
  • We really enjoyed our shale mining activities this week because we enjoyed working in different groups

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

  • Some of us felt a that our Drama lesson could have been better because some people were being a little silly while we were taking part in the drama tasks
  • Some of us felt that we could have been a little more responsible in our PE lesson with Mrs Baird and paid a bit more attention

Our lead learners for this week were Alieu, Kaiden, Abbie and Matthew. They set the following class targets for the week; use appropriate language, focus on our work in class and use classroom resources respectfully. Our lead learners witnessed lots of our class meeting these targets, which was brilliant to see.

Our school value award winners for this week are Harvey and Preston.

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

Primary 6/7 Friday 29th November 2024

Tickled Pink

  • We have been working really hard preparing for our class assembly and were pleased at how well it went and the positive feedback we got from family members who came along.
  • After our assembly Alfie played some songs on his guitar for the class and we enjoyed singing along.
  • In maths we did some work on 2D shapes and we had to draw out the 2D shapes from the properties we were given.
  •  In writing we had three suggestions that we had to pick from and everyone was making their own recount writing stories using one of the suggestions.  Our recounts were similar but different.

Green for Growth 

  • When we were trying to do our personal blogs we had technical problems with the cameras and we will also work on improving the quality of our explanations.
  • French was tricky as we are muddling some of the words with Spanish words we already know, we also need to work on our pronunciation.

Our Lead Learners this week were Abbie and Matthew and they spotted lots of people achieving the targets they set.

P5/6 Friday 29th November

Tickled Pink-

  •  We enjoyed exploring Dean Burn gardens this week. We had fun climbing trees, building dens and just exploring the woods.
  • We learnt more about St Andrew during literacy in preparation for St Andrew’s Day tomorrow. We also used this as an opportunity to practice how we take information from a question to answer in full sentences.
  • During writing, we imagined how our day would go if we were shrunk down to the size of an insect. Everyone had different ideas about where they were setting their story.

 

Green for Growth-

  • Some of our groups were working on co-ordinates this week in maths. We found it a little tricky making sure that we had drawn the graphs correctly and connecting the co-ordinate points.
  • We struggled this week to get as much of our enterprise topic completed as we had wanted to. We had hoped to all be starting our instruction manuals this week however a number of groups didn’t get this started.

Our lead learners this week are Jason and Ben.

Tickled Pink

  • In numeracy we all enjoyed learning how to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000! We have worked very hard and are super stars at this now.
  • In writing this week, we recounted the author visit from last week. We really enjoyed getting to remember and talk about everything that we did when the author visited.
  • We are working very hard on our nativity and are enjoying practicing our new Christmas songs that we have added at the end!

Green for Growth

  • We are going to try our best to remember to bring our wellies on a Thursday for our outdoor learning day.

P1 Friday 29th November 2024

Tickled Pink:

  • The children loved the ‘Sharing Our Learning’ event, showing their grown ups all of their super work!
  • For topic this week we were focusing on Dentists and how we can look after our teeth. The children decided which foods and drinks were good or bad for our teeth and spoke about how we need to brush our teeth twice a day! The children enjoyed some role play – making an appointment at the dentist and having a check up.
  • For writing this week we were learning about describing words and came up with some super sentences about our class owl Fluffy.

 

Green for Growth:

  • In Maths, we were doing some more addition with missing numbers, some of the children found this tricky so we will continue to look at this with the help of counters.
  • Some children were finding it a bit tricky to sound out words they needed to write – we will continue to practice blending.

 

Our Lead Learners next week are Rose and Joey!

 

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Wallace

P3/4 Friday 29th November

Tickled Pink

  • Mrs Baty from the Digital Team came to show us how to make digital posters using Adobe Express. We made posters about Reduce, Reuse and Recycle since that is our science topic. Our posters are fantastic, we can’t wait to share them on our Seesaw and Blogs.
  • We have been working on dividing using remainders and are starting to use different t strategies, including using blocks or whiteboards.
  • In music we learned that some notes can join together to create half beats and how these look when written down.

Green for Growth

We are continuing to work on angles (not angels!) and are looking at identifying right angles using a right angle finder.

 

Lead learners this week were Cade and Lily.

Book Week Scotland

November 2024

 

We have had a great time celebrating Book Week Scotland.  All our classes have been involved with various book activities.  Primary 1-4 really enjoyed the visit from author and illustrator, Sophy Henn.  We were really excited that we had the chance to help her create a new character for her stories!

Primary 1-3 also enjoyed receiving our Bookbug and Read Write Count bags.  We had so much fun reading the stories and taking part in the activities with the adults who were able to visit.  We also had a visit from Shirley who works in Blackburn Library, telling us all about the exciting things going on in the library over the next few weeks.

Thank you for all your support.
