Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 have had a brilliant week with lots of exciting learning activities in class and two amazing sessions with visitors from Nil By Mouth to our classroom on Thursday. 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 PE as it was our last session playing iron/chipping shots in golf and we have all made great improvements with our golf swings and controlling our shots and we also thought that it was lots of fun

• We really enjoyed our STEM workshop with Jamie from Nil By Mouth yesterday because we were given a great task to construct a wheelbarrow out of Meccano in our small groups

• We thoroughly enjoyed our first outdoor learning session when we were able to go outwith the school grounds and make dens and play in the woods nearby the school

• We also really enjoyed the other workshop that we had on Thursday morning with Dave from Nil By Mouth as we were learning about discrimination and identity by doing some interesting and fun activities

• Lots of us enjoyed our work in French on Language Nut yesterday
• Many of us enjoyed our Adobe Express session on Wednesday where we created our “Day in Data” document as part of Maths Week Scotland
• Some of us enjoyed our division review work in Maths as we felt it was great to learn how to avoid having a remainder when doing division sums

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

• Some of us found the STEM workshop where we had to create the wheelbarrow quite tricky as there weren’t any instructions and we had to work out the process in our groups

• Some of us found our Maths work on division review quite tricky as we started to work on the process for written division sums

Our lead learners for this week were Harvey, Amelia, Jake and Ruaridh and they set the following targets for our class; Be responsible in the playground, Don’t make silly noises in class, Be responsible if you are working outside the classroom and Don’t speak across the classroom or when the teacher is speaking. The fantastic news is that our lead learners noticed lots of people meeting those targets this week. Well done!

Our school value award winners for this week are Archie and Annie. Congratulations!

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

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that our 2D and 3D shape work with Mrs Bain went really well this week.
• We have enjoyed practising different rules and sounds in Literacy.
• Some of us finished our shields this week and were able to take them home!
• We have also really enjoyed doing estimating and rounding in Numeracy.
• We are really proud of our spelling test results this week too!

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

• Some of us feel as though we need to keep being resilient with areas in Numeracy. Some areas are challenging but we will keep working hard!

• We also really want to focus on continuing to show kindness to everyone in our class.

Our value award winners for this week are Georgia for being responsible and Ryan for being ambitious! Well done!

Tickled Pink

• We enjoyed learning about the Industrial Revolution in Social Studies. We learned that coal and steam played a huge part in shaping our world and that children even younger than us were sent up chimneys and into factories to work.
• In writing we developed our description skills further and wrote about a forest, using synonyms, similes and metaphors.
• For PE we have begun learning about hockey and have begun learning the skill of keeping the ball close to the stick and attacking an opponents ball.

Green for Growth

• We are continuing to practise carrying over in addition and making sure that we always carry over the tens and never the ones.
• Our listening skills still need more practise, especially during instructions.

Lead learners this week are Jack and Rosa.
