Seafield Primary School

Another fab week for Primary 3/4. We started our music block this week with Mrs de Luen and we loved it!

Tickled Pink (Things that we feel went well)

• We are getting quicker and better at our morning word jumble!
• We really enjoyed Hub groups this week, especially working with pupils across the school.
• We also enjoyed designing our Roman Shields. We planned for how we could make them strong and colourful!
• We liked aiming to be on the work of the week wall. We are aiming to bump up our work.
• Lastly we have continued to enjoy working on our number and multiplication knowledge, even if sometimes it is tricky!

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

• As we all want to share our ideas, sometimes we forget to put our hands up. This is something that we want to work on.
• Some of us found our multiplication quite tricky but we will continue to keep trying!
• As some of us were with older pupils in our hub groups, some of the words were hard to understand. However the other pupils helped us!

Our value certificate winners for this week are Fraser for being resilient and Lucas Y for being respectful. Well done!

Have a lovely weekend Primary 3/4, see you on Monday!

Primary 6/7 have had a fantastic week in school, 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: 

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well): 

• We enjoyed continuing with our writing task from last week because we were given the freedom to choose what we wanted whilst imagining our perfect day
• Lots of us were confident with our subtraction review work this week

• We enjoyed continuing to work on our personal crests in Art especially because we could link this to our “My Perfect Day” piece of writing and make connections between the important things in our lives that we have chosen to illustrate and write about 

• We enjoyed our French lesson with Mrs Flynn and the games of Bingo which helped us to practise the vocabulary that we are learning  

• We all enjoyed reading with our Primary 1 buddies on Friday morning and encouraging their listening skills whilst showing them how to act responsibly in school

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

• Some of us found our Maths work with shapes quite tricky, especially as we reviewed and learned some tricky vocabulary about shapes

• Some of us also felt that our first attempt to learn how to putt in our golf lesson earlier this week was a bit difficult as it is more tricky to control the direction and strength of the shot

Our school value award winners for this week are Niamh and Ben and they will set our class targets next week in collaboration with our lead learners from last week, Faith and Che.

Well done for an excellent week, Primary 6/7. Have a lovely weekend. 

We have had a very busy week this week. Our Literacy Circuit groups have started and we have enjoyed working with different teachers. We enjoyed writing letters to the Disco group and wait to get a reply from them. We have been learning about Seafield and investigating old photographs. It has been really interesting and we can see that Seafield has changed lots over the years. We are curious to find out more. We were really enjoying playing Team games at PE. We also had a practice Fire Drill, it was really loud and went off a second time by accident!

It was a little bit tricky writing the letters for the Disco group because we had to set out the letter properly and it was difficult writing all of the questions we had. We did have some tricky maths this week but we are just getting our brains back into work after the holidays!

Primary 3/4 have had a super week in class. We are more familiar with our routines and have been working extra hard on demonstrating our school values.

Tickled Pink (things that we think went well)

• We are continuing to work on our morning literacy challenge, this is one of our favourite activities!
• This week for topic we took part in a drama activity. Miss Marple appeared in our classroom and we had to teach her all about the Romans! We thought of a plays while working in groups and performed them to our peers.
• We’ve enjoyed doing IDL this week, especially after lunchtime to get us ready for more learning.
• We are also been enjoying our Health and Fitness block in PE. Sometimes it is tiring but we continue to push on and be resilient!

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

• We are aiming to continue to uplevel our work, especially in our writing by using a variety of vocabulary, punctuation and openers.
• We also need to remember that anything that can distract us in class should be staying in our bags.

Our value certificate winners for this week are Blake for being responsible and Robyn for being ambitious! We also now have four honeycombs for the children’s fantastic effort in the playground.

A fabulous week Primary 3/4, have a great weekend.

We have had a super week in P2/3.  We are becoming more familiar with all the class routines and there has been lots of evidence of following our school values.

Tickled Pink (things that we think went well)

• We started to create maps of our village so we can compare these to maps of what Seafield looked like years ago.
• In outdoor learning we went on a scavenger hunt and looked for signs of Summer because we know that Autumn will be here soon and our local environment will be changing.
• We enjoyed playing dice games where we had to add two numbers together and try and beat our partner’s score.
• We learned about nouns, verbs and adjectives and were able to identify and highlight these in sentences.

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

• We looked at the describing bubble as part of our writing and with more practice we will be able to use this to improve our writing.

Our values certificate winners this week were Charley for being ambitious and Junior for being responsible.  Mrs Denholm and I had such a difficult job of choosing two pupils because so many of the class were demonstrating our school values.  P2/3 have also won two honeycombs so far for their efforts in the playground.

A fabulous start to the year, long may it continue.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Primary 6/7 have had a great week in school, with lots of excellent learning activities in class as we pick up the pace of our new school year. 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):

• Lots of us enjoyed our learning about the four operations in Maths. We started with addition this week and many of us felt that the tasks were at a very good level and neither too difficult or too easy

• We enjoyed our reading comprehension work in Literacy this week as we explored the characters and plot of our new class novel, Divided City

• We loved our first buddying session on Friday morning as it has been really enjoyable getting to know our buddies since we returned to school

• We enjoyed our Writing task this week about imagining our perfect day as it allowed us choice to decide what we wanted to write about and how to plan the perfect day in our lives

• Our new PE focus on golf has been really enjoyable as lots of the children have never played golf before and they are really happy to be trying something different
• We also enjoyed our art activity as we designed and created our own personal crest to show the things that we love in our lives

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

• Some of us found it a wee bit tricky as we have been getting to know our buddies and learning how to take care of them
• Some of us also felt that we need a little more challenge with our addition work in Maths

Our school value award winners for this week are Faith and Che and they will set our class targets for next week.

Well done for an excellent week P6/7. Have a lovely weekend.
