Seafield Primary School

The last week of term has been a busy one in P2/3.  Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We learned about Fair Trade and we now know what symbol to look for on products we buy.
• For our writing session this week we wrote persuasive texts about why we would like a class pet.  We managed to think of lots of strong arguments and used different sentence starters to make it more interesting.
• We enjoyed working in random groups to complete a Rich Task in Maths which involved thinking of different ways to make 8. We were able to collaborate and share our strategies with each other.
• We were also learning the two times table and were solving multiplication problems relating to this.
• During outdoor learning we went on a Texture Adventure where we used the sense of touch to find lots of  different textures.  We were amazed with all the different textures in our local environment and this earned us another stamp in our Happy By Nature passports.
• We also loved hearing about everyone’s achievements during the Achievement Assembly.

• We agreed that after the holidays we would need to work harder on keeping the classroom tidy and making sure we tucked our chairs in when we left them.

Our school value award winners for this week are Zaynab and Olivia C for being ambitious and resilient Well done girls!

Have a lovely Easter break everyone!

We’ve had a busy week in Primary 2/3 preparing for our class assembly next week.  Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• During Health and Wellbeing we learned about where food products come from and the journeys food items make to reach us. We were surprised to hear how far away some of our favourite fruits are grown.
• For our writing session this week we wrote persuasive texts about why it is good to have a friend in class.  We worked so hard on these and Mrs Baird had a really difficult job to pick the star writer this week. Well done Evie!
• To celebrate Science Week we made sculptures of Scottish landmarks.  Inspired by Andy Scott and his sculptures, we had to design and create a sculpture that met certain criteria including being at least 25cm, using 4 different materials, being sturdy and attractive.  We also had to make it light up.
• We enjoyed our Science Week Celebration assembly on Friday where we were able to share our STEM learning and find out about what all the other classes had been up to.

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

• In Maths some of us found skip counting backwards quite tricky so this is something we will keep working on.
• We are going to try to work together better and further develop our collaboration skills. We found this tricky when we were making our sculptures.

Our school value award winners for this week are Emily and Junior for being ambitious. Congratulations!

Have a lovely weekend everyone and don’t forget to put our assembly next Friday in your diary.  We’re looking forward to sharing our learning with you.

We have had a very busy week this week preparing for our assembly with lots of prop making and practicing our sketches. We have been continuing to work together in our home groups collaborating with each other. We are very excited about our families coming into our class on Friday morning.

Tickled Pink

• Great work this week during our comprehension tasks answering in sentences. We spoke about this as a target and most children did achieve this.
• We continued to enjoy measure challenges.
• We worked on our listening skills as home groups performed short dramas – learning what it means to be a quality audience.
• Reverent Boyd came to visit and talked to us in class.

Green for Growth

• We were looking at patterns in numbers to 100, ( 9-5 = . 19-5=. 39-5=, 99-5= )  and the relationship between add and subtract during our number talks. We realised that it is important that we keep working on our speedy recall of number bonds as this can help us when working with larger numbers.
• We need to continue to demonstrate our school values being kind and respectful to others.
• To continue to practice and increase confidence when using the microphone and performing in front of an audience.

Primary 6/7 have had a great week with lots of wonderful 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):

• Our Primary 7s really enjoyed their trip to The Risk Factory and learning about health and safety in lots of situations and scenarios. The Primary 7 pupils showed excellent understanding of the dangers and concerns in some situations and how to react and respond
• Our Primary 6 children enjoyed taking part in the very tricky Euro Quiz event as they represented Seafield Primary School. Some questions in the quiz were really tricky but the children came up with some great answers

• We all really enjoyed creating PowerPoints as we continued to work on our World War II research topics

• We enjoyed our music session run by visitors in our school on Thursday afternoon as we learned how to create relaxing and calming sounds

• We enjoyed flipping our learning and teaching Mrs Robertson about data handling in Maths

• The Primary 7s found their Maths transition lesson based on algebra and equations quite tricky this week

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

Well done P6/7 for a fantastic week in school. Have a lovely weekend.

It has been lovely to see some Spring sunshine this week and classes have enjoyed being outside in the warmer weather for outdoor learning.

Many thanks to our families who joined us today for the Primary 2/3 assembly. All week the class have been learning their drama scripts, Scots language and facts about Scotland in the past. I was very proud of the performance they delivered. Many thanks to Miss Denholm and Mrs Baird for all the hard work that went into resourcing props and rehearsing. It was a braw assembly!

Lots of positives to celebrate this week, including Primary 1 being the first class to win the raffle ticket challenge two weeks in a row! This week our focus was on kindness.

Milkshake Monday – Well done to those who received Lead Learner last week, it was lovely to see you all for Milkshakes and snacks today (Milkshake Friday) Thank you for your patience this week, you all demonstrated our value of respect when you kindly waited for your Milkshake treats so that P2/3 could use the hall for rehearsals on Monday. Very proud of you all! Well done t0 David, Minahil, Emily, Amelia, Ben, Junior, Cade, Olivia and Harley.

Any learners who miss Milkshake Monday due to absence or school events are welcomed to attend the following weeks celebrations.

Myself and staff are very much looking forward to welcoming families next week for Parent Consultations. During this event, the Scholastics Book Fair will be available for purchasing books and some stationary items. A percentage of sales made goes to school for purchasing new school library books. On Monday we will send out a price list for families if they wish to make a purchase.

Have a lovely weekend, hopefully the nice weather continues.

Next Week

Coming Up

Primary 1 have had an ‘awesome’ week. We were so pleased to be the raffle ticket winners again and got to enjoy some extra playtime out in the sunshine!

Tickled Pink (What went well this week):

• We have been learning about Spring time and we have learned a song all about it! We have created our own actions to go along with the words of the song. This was so much fun and we love to sing in Primary 1.
• During outdoor learning this week some of us used our imagination to build a camp fire out of sticks that we found in the playground. We then lay our jackets around so that we could all sit and we pretended to roast some marshmallows on the fire!
• We have had an anti-bullying focus in HWB and enjoyed creating our own ‘Kindness Monsters’ because ‘Kindness isn’t scary’!

Green for Growth (What we could do better):

• We are still working on our listening skills when we are on the carpet. We are practising taking turns when we are talking so that we don’t talk over each other.
• We are continuing to work on our kindness in the class and making sure that no-one is left out.

Well done to Ava and Elliot for being our Star Award winners this week!

Have a good weekend, Miss Robb 🙂

Tickled Pink (What went well)

• In writing, we are improving our persuasive writing techniques and using emotive language and rhetorical questions to share our point of view.
• Some of P6 took part in the Euro Quiz this week. It was lots of fun but hard work!
• We had lots of fun making kites this week. We were surprised by how well they flew.
• We have worked really hard on following the school values and being respectful to others.

Green for Growth (what we need to work on)

Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• This week in Writing Miss White gave us all a story prompt that we used to create an imaginative piece! It was tricky but we enjoyed trying a new thing.
• We think that we have been working hard during Numeracy. We have been concentrating on fact families and how we can use this to help us!

• Our Wordle streak has been fantastic this week! We love doing this in the morning, wordle today was oasis and Chloe figured it out!
• We also think that our handwriting has improved a lot and will keep on practising.

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

• We want to take more care of our resources in our classroom. Some of us are not being responsible for the things we use in School.
• We want to make sure that we are always displaying our School values and keep this up every week!

Have a great weekend, see you on Monday!
