Seafield Primary School

We have had a great week in Primary 5/6 where we have been working in our Home Groups to create a Stay and Stray learning activity. In our Home Groups we work together developing our collaboration, communication, leadership, creativity and problem solving skills. We will then share our learning with other groups in the class.

Tickled Pink-

• We really enjoyed creating ways to present and share our learning about birds. They were able to choose from a range of materials – water colours, posters, canva, powerpoint, different sizes of paper and creative materials.
• We were enthusiastic about developing our sewing skills and we chose different ways to develop our skills. Some chose bookmarks, plastic shapes and even sewing a few stitches to a photograph of a bird.
• We really enjoyed our outdoor PE session where we played Teamwork games.
• We were enjoying using our reading skills roles while reading non fiction texts this week. ( The Predictor, The Clarifier, The Questioner and The Summeriser – And The Big Boss Role!
• We enjoyed our school Secret Garden performance from a local theatre company- the music and songs were great and the backdrops were really cool.
• Our Destination Judo taster session was great fun.
• We really enjoyed having our parents into class and showing them around and having the family breakfast.

• Some of us found the place value maths a bit tricky when we moved onto Thousands and Tens of Thousands- we will keep working on it.
• We will keep practicing when rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 and 10000.
• Sewing was a bit tricky but we will show resilience and keep working on it.
• When our devices are being tricky and we can’t log in to our tasks.
• 

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week with lots of interesting and engaging 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 really enjoyed our PE session with Mrs Robertson playing the Heroes and Villains game and we felt that there was good focus and concentration from the class

• We felt that the start of our Spelling lessons went well this week and everyone worked hard on the spelling patterns and tasks

• We are feeling very positive about our Maths assessment this week, as everyone focused well on the tasks and tried their best

• Our comprehension task linked to one of the chapters from our wonderful class novel, “Where the World Turns Wild”, went very well as most people were concentrating on adding more depth and detail to their answers

• We really enjoyed the Edinburgh Fringe comprehension task that we were working on with Mrs Baird
• We all had fun during the session that we had in PE with a visitor to school learning about the skills needed for American Football

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

• We enjoyed our golf session in PE but were a little frustrated that some people didn’t focus or concentrate properly

• Overall, we felt that some of focus on our school values in class during this week needs to improve

Our school value award winners for this week are Fatoumata and Ben. Congratulations!

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

We have had a lovely week in classes, with lots of fantastic learning, enthusiasm and achievements across the school. It has been wonderful to see our learners engaged in their activities and continuing to make great progress. We are very proud of all their hard work and look forward to building on this as we move into another exciting week. 

Next week will to be a special one, as we welcome M and M Productions to school on Wednesday morning for a performance of The Secret Garden. This is always a highlight for our learners, and we are looking forward to enjoying this wonderful production together. 

We are also delighted to be welcoming Primary 1-2, Primary 2-3 and Primary 5-6 families to our Learners’ Breakfasts next week. This session will have a relaxed and informal focus, giving everyone the opportunity to spend some time together in school. 

In the hall, families will be invited to enjoy breakfast with their child while hearing about our school improvement priorities for the next session. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about our plans and aspirations for the future of our school. 

Within the classroom, class teachers will share information about the stage, provide an opportunity to look around the classrooms, and offer a selection of activities for families to enjoy together. 

We can’t wait to welcome you all and look forward to another fantastic week of learning, laughter and community spirit. 

Have a wonderful weekend

Mrs S Page
