Seafield Primary School

Tickled Pink:

• Family Breakfast was wonderful because we got to be teachers and help our grown ups with the number talks. We also showed the grown ups our classroom and played games with them.
• It was really exciting making PowerPoints about Sea Creatures – we loved showing them off to our grown ups.
• Writing was fun because we were describing under the sea creatures and we are going to show the work to all of the teachers.
• Learning how to do different kinds of rolls in PE – like pencil roll, teddy bear roll and forward roll. The teddy bear roll was a bit tricky.

Green for Growth:

• Finding all of the loop cards for Outdoor Learning – we finally found the last one which fell in a gap. We then looked at the pictures and had to find the rhyming word.

Our Lead Learners for next week are CJ and Ellie Mae.

Have a lovely weekend!

Tickled Pink:

• Fischy Music workshop and school concert
• Decorating potatoes for World Book Day
• Decorating the classroom door for WBD
• Using the class shop for money maths
• Writing descriptive pieces about our favourite animals.

Green for Growth:

• Continuing to work on times tables to get faster and more accurate
• Using the success criteria to give peer feedback on our work
• Listening to each other in Circle Time and not interrupting with our own stories

This week we had lots of exciting learning taking place! We celebrated World Book Day by taking part in school challenges and we had a great time with Fischy music visiting the school.

Tickled Pink

We were great scientists and investigated air resistance this week. We experimented with creating more or less air resistance, and used this knowledge in some paper plane experiments.

We worked really well in our maths work this week and improved our skills in working with fractions.

We worked in groups to create a realistic World War 2 radio broadcast, using our knowledge about the Blitz.

Green For Growth

We found it a bit tricky to write about the STEM experiments we created, and we are going to try to get used to using our ‘science words’.

We found it challenging to write limited summaries of our favourite books because we had so much that we wanted to say but we had to only use the key information.

Although we have grown in our fraction skills this week, we would still like to get better at converting top heavy and mixed fractions into each other.

Tickled Pink:

• Writing book reviews for World Book Day and looking at all of the potatoes that people made – they were fantastic! (Photos below from our class)
• Fischy Music was fun to learn the songs and dance moves and performing the concert with the whole school.
• Making under the sea pictures and creatures using paper plates and listening to music whilst we were creating our wonderful work.

Green for Growth:

• The shoe grip investigation was fun but a bit hard because some of the children didn’t know what to  write in the boxes to show their findings. For the investigation, they had to choose which surface materials they wanted to test and then set it up with a partner making sure that it is a fair test. They then made a prediction about which surface would hold the shoe the longest as the ramp incline increased and discussed the winner and linked this to friction.  They then looked closer at the different types of shoe grip that people had and tested them on the ramp with the carpet to see which shoe would hold the longest.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Things that went well .

• Our science investigations – creating a fair test. Investigating which material is best to build a paper aeroplane  then which design allows it to travel the furthest.
• Identifying own words for spelling.
• Fischy Music visit and assembly.
• World book week activities- designing potatoes and having the opportunity to view other classes, decorating our door Harry Potter style.
• Voting for classroom layout, class novel and gala day themes – discussing voting system and democac
• 
• We also really enjoyed our swimming assessment at Bubbles and our mini – health champion suggested we do a fundraising event so that the upper classes could all participate in a block of swimming lessons. We will put this forward at our next meeting .

Tickled Pink:

• It was fun exploring forces (push and pull) with all of the different toys and objects in the classroom.
• The friction investigation was fun rolling the car down the ramp with different materials on it.
• We enjoyed learning about fractions by cutting our pancakes into halves and then quarters before spreading delicious toppings on them and eating them.

Green for Growth:

• Making our Sea Creature Fact Files were a bit tricky.
• Some of the balances were hard in PE to try and hold with our partner but it was fun to keep trying.

Lead Learners are Ella and Noel – they will be encouraging the children in the class to line up nicely and continue to be kind and respectful to others.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Wallace

Tickled Pink

• We started our World Book Day door designs and had fun choosing what to draw.
• During our Kids Gone Wild session we climbed trees, made a rope swing and created an island in a pond.
• We learned Spanish colours and put these into sentences.
• We learned about democracy as part of our Scottish Parliament topic and then used this to vote on how we should re-arrange the tables in our class.

Green for Growth

• We found equivalent fractions quite tricky and had to use the fractions wall to help us.
• We had to check the tree branches carefully to see if they were strong enough to climb.  We need to keep working on our risk assessing skills!
• We had to do lots of research before we could write our Ice Road Truckers descriptions.

Our Lead Learners for next week are Megan and Shiva and they chose to look for people who are

• Respecting our school by taking care of the toilet areas
• Completing the World Book Day challenges.
• Keeping the floor of the class tidy

Tickled Pink:

– researching sea creatures on the iPads to find facts so we can make PowerPoints to share with the class because we loved making them.

– getting to choose an activity for Children’s Mental Health Week and going to other classrooms with children from the other classes.

– learning lots of facts about farming (pigs, cows and sheep) from live calls with real farmers. We watched and listened to what they had to say then got to ask them questions.

– PE was fun because we got to do different balances and make up a routine with our partner and perform it for the class.

– judo session was really fun because we got to play games and wear the judo jacket and learn tbe judo hold.

Green for Growth:

– some children found fact families in maths a bit confusing.

– some of the balances in PE were tricky to hold, especially the one point balances.

Have a lovely holiday,

Mrs Wallace 😊
