Seafield Primary School

We have had a great week in Primary 3/4. We have all been working really hard!

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

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We all loved doing the Oobleck experiment in Science. We thought that it was so fun and it demonstrated our learning this week – changing states of matter .
• Some of us really enjoyed our Writing. We made a plan on Wednesday that helped us a lot when it came to writing our stories on Thursday.
• In Numeracy we made a display to represent our knowledge of Fractions! We all made a paper plate into food and represented different Fractions on them, they look great!
• We also created fantastic Spring Art this week! This display in our classroom looks fantastic!

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

• We need to remember not to bring toys in during the week. Some of us are being distracted by this and we don’t want this to affect our learning.
• We also want to work on reading over our work before we hand it to Miss White. This is something we are working really hard on.

Our school value award winners for this week are Harley and Olivia! Well done!

Have a lovely weekend, see you on Monday!

This week, we have really enjoyed having families in school during Learner Breakfasts. During our breakfasts we have enjoyed sharing our learning, progress and our evolving Positive Relationships policy with families. Many thanks for coming along. I look forward to families from P1, P3/4 and P5/6 joining us next week.

A huge thank you to our Reader Leaders for organising World Book Day. On Thursday, pupils enjoyed stop, drop and read, decorating classroom doors and sharing reading experiences in their classrooms. Today, it was great to see so many children taking part in our dress up or dress down day for World Book Day.

In school next week we will be celebrating Science Week, with children sharing what they have been learning at our Assembly on 13th March (in school only)

Have a lovely weekend

Primary 6/7 have had an excellent 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):

• We feel that we really enjoyed outdoor learning this week as we went to a different location and were being more responsible

• We feel very positive about our first debate in class, which we held on Friday morning, as all of the speakers did really well and made very strong formal speeches about our debating topic linked to social media restrictions for young people

• We very much enjoyed creating our classroom door display for World Book Day. We designed a fantastic display with many great images and thoughts about our current classroom novel, “Boy, Everywhere”

• We enjoyed reading quietly when the reading bell rang in school on World Book Day

• We really enjoyed our dress up/dress down morning on Friday for World Book Day

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

• Some of us felt a little frustrated that we didn’t play badminton games in PE earlier in the week, due to a problem with untangling the badminton net and some issues around some people in class not being responsible. However, we resolved this at the end of the week and we really enjoyed playing games on Friday

Our school value award winners for this week are Niamh and Jake. Congratulations!

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

We have had a super week this week with our Family Breakfast and World Book Day. We have enjoyed a range of literacy activities and a created a fantastic door display with pictures of us reading our favourite book.

Tickled Pink –

• We really enjoyed learning about Andy Scott’s sculpture’s – and we worked in our home groups to research an individual one. We then shared this information with other groups during a stay and stray activity.
• We really enjoyed having our parents in and it was useful getting our IDL and Sumdog codes organised so that we can continue our learning at home.
• We worked really well on measure tasks and had to measure items using different units of measurement.
• We created a book review on our favourite books.
• We are getting much quicker at our mental maths and more confident using number talks.
• We enjoyed drop and read – each time we heard the bell we had to stop what we were doing to read our books.
• We really enjoyed our dress down or dress as a book character on Friday.
• We learned that Muslims  get mehndi patterns for Eid and we made our own and we also made cards to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr.

Green for Growth

• We still need to practice our multiplication skills using arrays.
• It was tricky measuring accurately in cm and remembering to add cm after the number so that we know which unit of measurement was used.
• We do need to continue to develop our listening skills and ensure we are not wriggling or chatting during carpet time.

We have had a great week in Primary 5/6! We enjoyed celebrating World Book Day by doing lots of fun activities and decorating our door as the cover  from our class novel, “Turtle Moon”.

Tickled Pink (what went well)

• We really enjoyed developing our badminton skills.  We are improving our accuracy with the shuttle
• We worked hard on algebra this week and we persevered with the tricky work on fractions

Green for Growth (what we want to get better at)

• We are going to try harder with our listening skills.  We can do this by putting our hand up and not shouting out, and not talking when someone else is talking or giving instructions.

Our Lead Learners for this week are Olivia and Effie.

Have a lovely weekend!

What a fabulous week it’s been in Primary 3/4. We have all particularly liked dressing up as our favourite book characters today!

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

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We think that using stay and stray in PE worked really well this week. We loved having a chance to be the teacher and collaborating with our peers.
• We’ve also really enjoyed decorating our classroom door! We made ours into Horrid Henry’s book cover!
• This week we enjoyed our topic. We received a letter from Captain Tanglebeard and had to write directions to get to the treasure he hid in our classroom!
• Some of us liked doing algebra with Mrs Bain this week.
• We also think that our Sudoku Rich task was really fun. We are getting better every time we do it!

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

• Some of us are forgetting to demonstrate our school values all of the time. We want to keep working on this!
• We’ve also found Wordle hard this week! We think that we need try different strategies to figure it out.

Our school value award winners for this week are Ryan and Lilidh, well done!

Have a lovely weekend, see you on Monday.

Primary 6/7 had a great week with lots of excellent learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we were extremely busy with organising and running our Rights Day, so we didn’t have time to discuss how the week went.

We all really enjoyed the Rights Day on Friday morning. There were lots of excellent activities to help everyone in our school learn about children’s rights and how important they are. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities and did a fantastic job with leading our younger learners in school and supporting them to take part in the activities and learn about rights.

Tickled Pink (things that went well):

• We have continued to work hard on preparing for for our first class debate on social media access for children and young people

• We enjoyed our persuasive writing this week and made good progress

• We all continued to enjoy badminton in PE and improve our control of the shuttle as we worked on our backhand shots

• We enjoyed talking about our Right of the Fortnight in class and discussing privacy, particularly in relation to phones and other technology

• We enjoyed working on finding important countries and places on a map of the world linked to our World War II work in class

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

• In Maths, we need to continue to work hard on fractions, decimals and percentages as well as our mental maths strategies
• All children in our class need to work hard at taking care of school resources and keeping our classroom clean and tidy

Our school value award winners for this week are Noel and Sebastian. Congratulations!

Well done P6/7 for a fantastic, busy week and with your amazing support for our younger learners during Rights Day. Have a lovely weekend.

What a super week we’ve had in Primary 2/3   Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We have continued to work on our comic strips which we hope to share at our upcoming assembly.
• During Health and Wellbeing we learned about good hygiene and we made posters to share what we had learned with others.
• For our writing session this week we wrote response texts about Zog and the Flying Doctors by Julia Donaldson.  This is a story that we really enjoyed reading in class and we had lots to write about it.
• During our outdoor learning session we learned about weather and after looking at weather forecasts online we started to create our own weather charts which we will complete daily. This meant we were able to earn another stamp on our WWF Happy in Nature passports.
• We learned about  Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr and made our own mehndi patterns.
• We also had lots of fun during our Rights Day on Friday with the smoothie bike and the orienteering proving to be very exciting and entertaining.

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

• In Maths we started to learn about multiplication and we have enjoyed skip counting and building arrays but we are finding it difficult to remember rows and columns.  Some children also found interesting arrays at home which they shared with the class on Seesaw.

Our school value award winners for this week are Alice for being ambitious and Elodie for being kind. Congratulations!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

It was lovely to welcome everyone back after the February break. Many children shared stories with me this week, telling me all about their time off.

Pupil Leadership has been a focus this week, with the Rights Respecting Group meeting to discuss plans for our upcoming Rights Day, the Pupil council meeting with myself to discuss an allocated wall space to display and celebrate all their hard work and Hub groups meeting today too! The reading Hub group will be leading an assembly on Tuesday to share school plans for World Book Day. This will include the option for pupils to come to school dressed down or dressed up as a character on Friday 5th March. The poster shared was created using adobe express by our very talented Jason! Thank you for this. World Book Day

I would like to thank the P3/4 learners who are meeting me regularly to prepare and plan an initiative they have brought to me, focused on raising some funds for charities. So far, the children have surveyed pupils in the school to find out which charities matter most to them and next week the group will be presenting suggested ideas to parents in the form of email communication. Watch out for this coming your way.

Overall, another busy week with lots of exciting opportunities coming up!

Have a great weekend everyone
