Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 have had another great week, 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 really enjoyed our Maths work on improper and mixed fractions and we worked hard at converting fractions from mixed to improper and vice versa
• We feel that we are making good progress with using technology appropriately and this would be a good place to remind everyone to fill in the responsible user form at home. This is an online form that has been sent out by the school
• We really enjoyed our shale mining activities this week because we enjoyed working in different groups

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

• Some of us felt a that our Drama lesson could have been better because some people were being a little silly while we were taking part in the drama tasks
• Some of us felt that we could have been a little more responsible in our PE lesson with Mrs Baird and paid a bit more attention

Our lead learners for this week were Alieu, Kaiden, Abbie and Matthew. They set the following class targets for the week; use appropriate language, focus on our work in class and use classroom resources respectfully. Our lead learners witnessed lots of our class meeting these targets, which was brilliant to see.

Our school value award winners for this week are Harvey and Preston.

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

Tickled Pink

• 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.

Green for Growth 

• 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.

Lead Learners

Our Lead Learners this week were Abbie and Matthew and they spotted lots of people achieving the targets they set.

This blog post was created by Abbie.

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.

Tickled Pink

• In numeracy we all enjoyed learning how to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000! We have worked very hard and are super stars at this now.
• In writing this week, we recounted the author visit from last week. We really enjoyed getting to remember and talk about everything that we did when the author visited.
• We are working very hard on our nativity and are enjoying practicing our new Christmas songs that we have added at the end!

Green for Growth

• We are going to try our best to remember to bring our wellies on a Thursday for our outdoor learning day.
• Next week we will be working hard in numeracy because we are staring to learn all about money!

Lead Learners this week are: Ernest for being resilient and Ryan for being kind.

Tickled Pink:

• The children loved the ‘Sharing Our Learning’ event, showing their grown ups all of their super work!
• For topic this week we were focusing on Dentists and how we can look after our teeth. The children decided which foods and drinks were good or bad for our teeth and spoke about how we need to brush our teeth twice a day! The children enjoyed some role play – making an appointment at the dentist and having a check up.
• 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:

• In Maths, we were doing some more addition with missing numbers, some of the children found this tricky so we will continue to look at this with the help of counters.
• Some children were finding it a bit tricky to sound out words they needed to write – we will continue to practice blending.

Our Lead Learners next week are Rose and Joey!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Wallace

Tickled Pink

• Mrs Baty from the Digital Team came to show us how to make digital posters using Adobe Express. We made posters about Reduce, Reuse and Recycle since that is our science topic. Our posters are fantastic, we can’t wait to share them on our Seesaw and Blogs.
• We have been working on dividing using remainders and are starting to use different t strategies, including using blocks or whiteboards.
• In music we learned that some notes can join together to create half beats and how these look when written down.

Green for Growth

We are continuing to work on angles (not angels!) and are looking at identifying right angles using a right angle finder.

Lead learners this week were Cade and Lily.

Book Week Scotland

November 2024

We have had a great time celebrating Book Week Scotland.  All our classes have been involved with various book activities.  Primary 1-4 really enjoyed the visit from author and illustrator, Sophy Henn.  We were really excited that we had the chance to help her create a new character for her stories!

Primary 1-3 also enjoyed receiving our Bookbug and Read Write Count bags.  We had so much fun reading the stories and taking part in the activities with the adults who were able to visit.  We also had a visit from Shirley who works in Blackburn Library, telling us all about the exciting things going on in the library over the next few weeks.

Thank you for all your support.

Tickled Pink:

• As part of Scottish Book week, we enjoyed reading outdoors in unusual places and drop everything and read in class.
• We have started planning our enterprise idea and have decided to create a design and instruction manual for the P2/3 class to follow and build. We broke up into our groups this week and decided on our design.
• A couple of our classmates decided they wanted to use their Cooper Cash to pay to be the teacher in class. We had a lesson on drawing 2D and 3D shapes as well as a writing lesson where we had to write about a sports person in 50 words. We have more planned for next week as well.

• 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.

Primary 6/7 have had another wonderful week, 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 really enjoyed our Writing lesson this week as we were given the option to choose the topic for our recount writing
• We feel that we are making good progress with our assembly practice sessions as we get ready for our class assembly next Friday
• We enjoyed our Maths work on shapes as we are becoming more confident with the names and properties
• We really enjoyed our PE tag rugby sessions as we are starting to get used to the rules and how to play the game effectively
• We enjoyed our outdoor learning session as we had time to explore and enjoy the outdoor area

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

• Some of us felt a that Mental Maths was a bit tricky this week as it was our first time with the slides being timed and this made it a bit more difficult
• Some of us found our new spelling words a bit tricky this week, especially some of the definitions for words that we hadn’t come across before

Our lead learners for this week were Calla, Kyle, Annie and Niamh. They set the following class targets for the week; be ambitious, use equipment responsibly and don’t swing on chairs. Our lead learners witnessed lots of our class meeting these targets, which was brilliant to see.

Our school value award winners for this week are Abbie and Matthew.

Well done for a fantastic week, P6/7. Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you for both the Sharing the Learning event and our P6/7 class assembly next week.

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!
• We enjoyed PE this week, learning how to move our bodies in different ways like walking backwards, bunny hops and slithering like snakes. We played a new game called ‘Rob the Nest’ and the children worked well in their teams and counted their bean bags at the end.
• We loved Outdoor Learning this week, we got to take books out to the playground and find somewhere fun to read it. The children loved reading in the tyres and made our own campfire (even though it was freezing cold!!).

Green for Growth

• Some children found pattern work a bit tricky this week, we will continue to practise this and look for patterns in our environment.
• We have been doing addition sums with missing numbers and some children are finding it a bit difficult.

Our Lead Learners next week are Zaynab and Luna.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Wallace
