Seafield Primary School

We have had a great week in Primary 1!

Tickled Pink:

– We finished learning the rest of our nativity songs and have been practising lots.

– We enjoyed learning about how to be safe with fireworks and making our own fireworks paintings with forks and glitter.

– We enjoyed looking for signs of Autumn during outdoor learning.

Green for Growth:

– Some children are finding it challenging to remember the tricky words we have done so far.

– Some children are finding it tricky to remember the order of the days of the week.

Our Lead Learners next week are Charley and Ollie!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Wallace

Tickled Pink

• Maths with Mr McConville and Mrs Orpon was fun because it was a different way of learning and because it was  new teachers. We had to create 30 different answers using only 4 digits.(see pictures below)
• Creating our 500 words stories was interesting because we got to choose what to write about. We used immersive read to read our stories back to us and this helped us to edit them.
• During Outdoor learning  we did a tour around Seafield to show Miss White and Annie the village. We learned about when different streets were built and compared the older and newer houses.

Green for Growth

• In PE, we need to work on our volume as when we are very enthusiastic our voices become too loud.
• In Outdoor learning we will keep reminding ourselves how to stay safe when near roads and parked cars.

Lead Learner Update

Our lead learners this week were Alfie and Amelia and they chose to work on being respectful to the adults, take care of equipment outside and listen to the person that is talking. They saw many pupils in the class achieving the targets they had chosen.

We have had a great week in Primary 1!

Tickled Pink:

• Children enjoyed our Halloween addition yesterday and guessing how many eye balls were in the jar. We listened for clues and scored out answers that were not correct. We then had to count all of the eyeballs – there was 58!
• We had fun painting autumn trees – using our hand and arm to be the trunk and branches and then stamping corks in paint to be the leaves.
• We have started learning the songs for our Nativity – the children are remembering them and singing them beautifully!
• We had fun doing a Halloween scavenger hunt in the playground for outdoor learning.

Green for Growth:

• Some children found the cutting task a bit tricky this week and so we will continue to practise our scissor skills.

Our Lead Learners next week are Elodie and Jaxon.

We had fun dressing up today for our Scare Hunger Event – the children looked spooktacular!!

Have a great weekend,

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful first week back after the October break, 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 enjoyed our PE lessons this week as it was fun to start working on our skills for tag rugby
• We enjoyed our Maths lessons on rounding this week as we are feeling more confident with the strategies needed for rounding and estimating now
• We really enjoyed working on our climate change projects as we added more detail and focused on making sure that we were using our own words to create our presentations
• We enjoyed our outdoor learning project about Seafield Law, both being outdoors at the bing and working on our projects for the DISCO group
• We enjoyed our climate change art work as we are now getting close to completing these amazing works of art
• We really enjoyed our Maths lesson with Mr McConville from Deans High School because it was interesting to use the vertical whiteboards to solve the Maths problems in our groups

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

• Some of us felt that our French assessment was a bit tricky as we couldn’t remember all of the language and vocabulary that we had learnt previously and also because we have recently been learning Spanish in class
• We found it tricky to find all of the numbers needed for Mr McConville’s Maths lesson
• Some of us feel that outdoor learning didn’t work as planned because we ran out of time to get to all of the areas that we needed to visit

Our lead learners for this week were Oscar, Archie, Shiva and Kaiden. They set the following class targets for the week; underline your date and title when working in your jotter, use equipment appropriately and be resilient in your school work. Our lead learners witnessed lots of our class meeting these targets, which was fantastic to see.

Our school value award winners for this week are Alfie and Amelia.

Well done for a brilliant week, P6/7.

We have had a good week in Primary 1.

Tickled Pink:

• The children have been enjoying singing the alphabet song and learning about the order of the letters. We have had lots of games about sorting the letters and finding them.
• We had fun doing a draw along video to learn how to draw a hedgehog as part of our mini Autumn topic. The children have been exploring our Autumn tuff tray and looking out for signs of Autumn.
• Everyone is doing really well with addition in maths and loved making sums with the playdough.

Green for Growth:

• Some children found it quite tricky to work out what letter comes next in the alphabet – we practised singing to song and it helped us to work it out.

Lead Learners are Molly and Flynn.

Have a good weekend,

Mrs Wallace

Tickled Pink

• We really enjoyed the Handball with Mr Hamilton because it was good exercise.
• Paired reading with our P1 buddies was lots of fun.
• We learned about area in Maths with Mrs Baird and once we knew the formula we found it easy to calculate areas.
• Some pupils were using Adobe Express for their Seafield Law presentations and learned how to share a project so it could be worked on by several devices at once.

Green for Growth 

• We had a fantastic time doing two rounds of exercises with Mrs Coull to celebrate World Mental Health Day but our legs and arms were sore afterwards  so we need to work on improving our fitness.
• Writing with Mr Hamilton was tricky as we had to describe a character and setting and include lots of detail.

Lead Learner Update Our Lead Learners this week are Shiva and Oscar and they have chosen to focus on:-

Be resilient in your work

Remember to underline the date and title

Use equipment appropriately

We hope everyone has a fantastic October break!

We have had a fantastic week in Primary 1 and it was so lovely to speak to all of the parents during our appointments.

Tickled Pink:

• We loved doing a letter scavenger hunt this morning during phonics, practising reading the sounds and forming them on our paper.
• We enjoyed exploring all of the puppets for the different fairy tale stories we have covered for our topic and talking about which one was our favourite.
• We have been using playdough to help with addition, making the correct number of balls to show the numbers that we need to add together then counting them all and writing the total number for our answer.

Green for Growth:

• Some children found it quite tricky to remember some of the names of our 3D shapes – we will keep practising this.
• We have been doing blending this week and some children were finding it a bit tricky to remember some of the sounds.

Our Lead Learners for after the holidays are Olivia N and Milly.

Have a great holiday and I look forward to hearing all of the stories on Tuesday 22nd October!

Tickled Pink:

• It was Challenge Poverty Week and we learnt a little bit about what poverty means and how it can affect people in different ways. We created our own Challenge Poverty badges with different designs.
• For outdoor learning this week, we created leaf rubbings with paper and crayons. We then challenged ourselves to make pictures and designs with our rubbings. We had trees, rainbows, self-portraits, angels and deserts.
• We wrote about a day in the life of Seafield Primary School and described what we would do throughout the day as a pupil at this school.
• For world mental health day, we had a brilliant fitness session with a parent helper today. Everyone loved it, even if we were all a little tired.

Green for Growth:

• In maths, we were learning about circles and how to calculate the circumference, radius and diameter. Some of us found it a little tricky to remember which measurement was which.

Our lead learners this week are Isla and Adam

Tickled Pink

• We started to make our outdoor learning presentations for our Heritage Hero awards and enjoyed using Adobe Express to do so.
• We really enjoyed our first Hub Group session of the year and the responsibility we were given in our roles as Mini Champs.
• In P.E  we played handball games and used the skills we had been learning.
• In Maths, we were working our perimeters of shapes and we learned about rectilinear shapes.

Green for Growth

• We have been working on inference skills to further develop our understanding of texts.
• We looked at our accuracy statistics when doing activities on Sum Dog and realised we should work on improving the accuracy of our answers and not just the speed.

Lead Learner Update

Our Lead learners this week were Faith and Harvey and they were working on…

• Use appropriate voices in class
• Use equipment appropriately
• Line up sensibly and respectfully

Many of the class were able to achieve these targets.  Our Lead Learners for next week are Kaiden and Archie.
