Seafield Primary School

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!

There’s nothing quite like a Nativity to spread joy at Christmas time and our children certainly did that this week.  Three fantastic performances for our school community and they thoroughly entertained us all.  We are all incredibly proud of each and every one of our fabulous pupils!

Tickled Pink

• All the efforts learning songs and speaking parts paid off with our three amazing Nativity performances.
• We used a variety of materials including glass beads and Christmas themed stampers to create patterns and make our own Christmas wrapping paper.
• In writing we wrote a recount about The First Christmas.

Green for Growth

• We tried to self evaluate our writing and will work on this more next term.

Lead Learner Update

Our Lead Learners this week are Charley and Flynn for their efforts in writing and the nativity performance.  Well done!

Have a great weekend everyone as we look forward to our Christmas party and cinema trip next week!

Tickled Pink

• We played some Christmas games with Mrs Robertson in PE which was really fun. Our favourite one was Head Elf which is a bit like Wink Murder.
• We completed filming our RME news reports in class and are currently in the process of editing them for next week.
• In maths we started learning coordinates. We were able to make patterns and shapes which turned into pictures.

Green for Growth

• Playground behaviour has not been acceptable this week, we need to show the values at all times.
• Some people need to be a little faster when finishing tasks.

Lead learners this week are Abi and Ellie Mae/

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• Some of us finished our sketching in Art and we are very proud of what we’ve created. We want all of these to end up on the wall!
• We are all very proud of our Primary 3’s for taking part in their nativity in front of the grown ups! Primary 1-3 were fabulous!
• This week we created our own Newsround’s. We reported on Rainforest Animals and managed to show off the facts we’ve learned!
• We have all been loving using Blooket this week! We use it to practice skills in Literacy and Numeracy!
• We have also been working really hard on our Sumdog challenges! We love having the opportunity to use digital tools!

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

• We want to work on our listening. Some people are forgetting our classroom expectations so we want to improve this!
• Some of us also need to remember to use kind words with others in and outside of School.

Our value award winners this week for being Ambitious is Lilidh and for being kind is Murren. Well done!

Have a lovely weekend, see you next week!
