Seafield Primary School

It has been a busy and exciting week across the school, and I’m delighted to share some of our highlights.

Coming Up

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 this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We all enjoyed our focus on grammar during our reading comprehension work this week
• The children in our class who attend the after school football club thoroughly enjoyed the session on Thursday this week and many children also feel that football during breaks has been going very well this week

• The children involved in our Rights Respecting Gold accreditation day yesterday, all felt that it went well and that they all spoke positively about children’s rights in our school during the interview sessions

• We all really enjoyed our art activity with Mrs Flynn about Scotland’s participation in the forthcoming World Cup, some of us creating excellent artwork and others making wonderful Adobe Express digital posters
• We all really felt that we are making great progress with our singing for the P7 leavers assembly, making some sensible changes to lyrics
• Our Primary 7s feel that they are rehearsing well for their leavers assembly
• Our P7s who were at high school on Thursday afternoon really enjoyed the treasure hunt activity that they took part in to help them navigate around the high school building

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

• Some people felt that there were some of the class not being very responsible in class on Wednesday when there were different teachers in P6/7
• Some of the children also felt that some people were not being responsible during our assembly rehearsals

Our school value award winners for this week are Niamh and Jake. Massive congratulations to them!

Well done P6/7 for a wonderful week in school. Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week.

Tickled Pink –

• We enjoyed taking part in Hub groups this week as we love spending time with other classes
• We got to bath a baby doll in class and then we wrote a procedure text with the instructions.  This was lots of fun and we all got a turn to babysit the doll! We have loved having time to play with the doll and practice bathing him, especially using the water and bubbles.
• We enjoyed outdoor learning this week and focused on symmetrical artwork. We looked around the playground to find materials to use and made symmetrical pictures.

Green for Growth-

• We have been learning division in numeracy and lots of us are finding this tricky. We are using concrete materials and drawing it out to help us
• We are working on good listening, especially when we are sitting on the carpet. We are trying to remember not to speak over others and to take turns when speaking to each other.

We have had a very busy week this week in Primary 3/4. Here’s what we would like to share about our learning!

Tickled Pink:

• We are continuing to do one point perspective in Art and have been really enjoying creating different drawings.
• We have been learning to take notes and produce an explanation from these in Writing. This skill is very important and we are working hard to improve.
• All of us enjoyed doing our last Hub groups this morning. We have really enjoyed working with pupils across the school.
• During Health and Wellbeing this week we have all been mature and sensible when covering topics.
• We have also been enjoying revisiting topics in Numeracy and consolidating our learning.

Green for Growth:

• We think that we all need work together as a class more. Some of us feel as though we are not all contributing to tidying up or gaining points against Miss White. This is making the ones who are contributing feel sad as not everyone is trying their best. This is something we all want to work on.

Our lead learners for this week are Oliver and Olivia, well done!

Have a lovely weekend everyone, see you on Monday.

Primary 5/6 had a great day today at the Five Sisters Zoo in West Calder, despite the wet weather. We started with a workshop about endangered wildlife which led us out to the Brown Bears. We then had some time to wander before lunch and even had time to play in the park. The afternoon was where we had time to really explore and look at the animals. It was a fantastic day!

Here are a few pictures of the animals we saw.

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week in school with lots of enjoyable 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 all enjoyed Maths this week as we started a new topic and we were able to understand ratio and proportion and the language that should be used for each of these processes in Maths
• We enjoyed going to the Bud Bus yesterday as we learned a lot about Poppy Scotland and how they try to help and support people in the armed forces, veterans and their families

• We all enjoyed getting some free time this week when it was very hot in the classroom so that we could get some fresh air and a little time outdoors

• We really enjoyed reading our class novel, “The Night Bus Hero” as we nearly reached the end of the book and we also enjoyed doing some comprehension work linked to this story
• Our Primary 7s feel that they have done some very good work on getting their Leaver’s Assembly script together and we did well working as a large P7 group with the teacher to edit and finalise the script.
• Our Primary 6s are continuing to enjoy working on their projects because they are getting more work done on them and are now and adding good detail
• We all enjoyed playing games in PE as we are able to demonstrate our control and passing skills
• Our P7s who took part in the Maths quiz at Deans High really enjoyed taking part and were very happy that they did so well in the competition and came third
• Many of us enjoyed our Health & Wellbeing, Relationships and Sexual Health lessons this week as we were learning new facts and information

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

• Some people felt that there were some of the class not being very responsible during our Health & Wellbeing lessons and being a bit silly

Our school value award winners for this week are Kyle and Mason. Massive congratulations to them!

Well done P6/7 for a fantastic week in school. Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week.

What a busy week we have had!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Next week 

Coming Up

We have had another very busy week this week and have enjoyed the nice weather. Thank you to everyone who has ensured the children have applied sun cream and bring hats.

Tickled Pink –

• We were enthusiastic about our Outdoor PE sessions, developing our fitness and participating in team games. We also created an obstacle course.
• We carried out experiments about what plants need to grow – we planted seeds on plastic, on an apple, on paper, in water and soil. We used magnifying glasses to investigate the growth and discussed conclusions.
• We created our own individual art work of a plant using a range of materials to show roots, stem, leaves, petals and seeds – we were all very successful in doing this and our finished pictures look wonderful.
• Outdoor learning we were making shadows with our bodies and our friends.
• We made lemonade in class with lemons, some of us liked it and others did not. We then had to go and write instructions on how to make Lemonade. We listed the materials and the step by step instructions.

Green for Growth-

• When we are doing creative art activities we need to get better at taking care of our resources – (lids on pens, glue sticks) and helping to tidy up our classroom afterwards.
• We need to stay focussed and use our number talk skills when working on a maths problem solving task – some of us found this weeks task quite challenging. We had to use the numbers 1 to 8 and find as many different ways to make sums with the same answer.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
