Seafield Primary School

Tickled Pink

• We enjoyed time singing in the hall with the younger children this week.
• We played some PE games outside and had lots of fun working together.
• We have been practising our sewing skills and are finding it very relaxing.

Green for Growth

• We are still getting used to using laptops and need some practise
• We need to work on focusing on our tasks to make sure they get completed

Our lead learners this week are Jacob and Sofia!

Primary 3/4 have had another busy week of learning.

Primary 1/2 have had a fun week.

Our tickled pinks are:

• We have enjoyed picking books from the library and talking about them with our friends.
• Using technology for our learning.
• We are excited for the weekend and we were talking about our plans with friends.

Our green for growths are:

• Working as a team and getting quicker at tidying.

Our lead learners of the week are:

Sienna for being respectful.

Lewis for being responsible.

It has been a fun week in Primary 6/7.  We decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• Everyone enjoyed the production of The Secret Garden who visited our school on Wednesday.
• We loved having a special workshop afterwards just for our class where we learned lots about what happens behind the scenes regarding sound and lighting, costumes and scenery and we even got some tips to help us when planning our upcoming class assembly.
• We learned about SMART targets and have been adding personal targets to our My World of Work profiles.
• Some people were delighted with the progress they had made in golf as they were able to successfully get the ball into the hoop.
• In PE with Mrs Robertson we enjoyed playing lots of different versions of tig and because everyone was listening better this week it was more fun.
• In Maths we have been learning about Place Value and we were able to partition and build 7 digit numbers.

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

• Some people found the Place Value work in Maths tricky but we plan to continue to use concrete materials next week to help us gain a greater understanding.
• We feel we still need to work on becoming more respectful especially when other people are speaking.

Our school value award winners for this week are Harris for Resilience and Ruaridh for Ambition.  Both boys were able to use what we previously  discussed about The Learning Pit to persevere and achieve success.  Well done!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Tickled Pink

• We are doing well with 2D shape in maths and have even been doing some jotter work to help us.
• For literacy we have been learning to ‘ch’ sound and making words using this sound.
• Our favourite moment of the week was watching The Secret Garden play in the hall. We loved seeing the garden and watching Colin walking again.

Green for Growth

• We are working hard to try doing something for ourselves first before asking for help. We are trying this in maths, we have to look again, ask a friend or use a resource to help us before asking the teacher.

Lead learners last week were Emily and Freddie.

This week the lead learners are Junior and Diana.

Primary 3/4 have had a very exciting week including a Judo taster session and a production by M&M productions.

It has been another busy week at school, with lots of exciting opportunities and experiences for our children to enjoy.

Our Learners Breakfasts have got off to a fantastic start. It has been wonderful to welcome families into school to share our improvement priorities and welcome you into our classrooms to show off our fabulous learning. Thank you to everyone who has attended so far and for the lovely feedback we have received. If you have not yet shared your thoughts with us, we would really appreciate hearing from you. Your feedback is incredibly important and helps us to shape and improve future events for our school community.

This week, children also enjoyed The M and M Show, which was a huge success. Pupils spoke very positively about the performance and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our P6/7 class had the bonus of taking part in a behind-the-scenes workshop, giving them a unique insight into the work that goes into creating and delivering a performance. A huge thank you to our Parent Council for supporting this opportunity and helping to provide such a memorable experience for our children.

We were also delighted to welcome Destination Judo into school. Pupils had a fantastic time taking part in the sessions, learning new skills and challenging themselves in a fun and engaging environment. Experiences like these help to build confidence, resilience and teamwork, and it was wonderful to see the children so enthusiastic and involved.

A gentle reminder regarding drop-off and pick-up arrangements. To support pupils in developing confidence and independence, we generally ask that adults do not remain in the upper playground unless they need to settle a child or speak with a member of staff. This also helps staff to supervise pupils effectively and ensures a smooth, positive start to the school day. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome families to our next round of Learners Breakfasts for P3/4 and P6/7 next week.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mrs Page and the School Team

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

• 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)

• 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.
