Seafield Primary School

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.

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,

• 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.

• 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.

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.

In p2/3 we have been working very hard on our IDL project, making job fact-files for children in the future that we are displaying around the outside of our classroom door for everyone to see.

• 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:

Tickled Pink:

• As part of Scottish Book week, we enjoyed reading outdoors in unusual places and drop everything and read in class.

• In maths, some of us were learning about plotting coordinates. We found reading the coordinates quite easy however we did struggle a little with making sure the coordinates were on the lines instead of in the boxes.
• We were practising our French Numbers this week, a lot of us had forgotten our previous French number knowledge so we had to recap these before we move on to larger numbers.

Our lead learners this week are Zac and Frankie.

P1 have had a fantastic week celebrating Book Week Scotland and also Road Safety Week!

Tickled Pink

• For literacy each day we have been reading a different story from the BookBug bag and doing fun activities linked to them. The children really enjoyed the sausage hunt in the classroom to find tricky words and making their own dogs based on the book ’10 Dogs’.
• We had a visit from an Author and Illustrator on Wednesday afternoon and the children engaged really well with the session. They got to draw some of the characters and make our own character too!
