Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 has had a very hard working week as they prepared for their class assembly which took place for the whole school on Thursday and which was performed for parents and carers on Friday.

The class did an amazing job with their assembly, putting in such incredible hard work during research, planning and rehearsals for songs and scenes. Some pupils were absent during various rehearsals and performances but everyone stepped up to the mark and was willing to take on extra work and do additional rehearsals to cover for those who weren’t here. Everyone was involved in the assembly and did an incredible job.

We did some amazing learning as a class about some very important issues raised in our first class novel of the year, Divided City. We were also very lucky to have a visit from Nil By Mouth an organisation which tackles sectarianism and promotes acceptance of identity for all people.

The class also did an amazing job with the songs that they chose for assembly and they fitted in so well with the themes and issues which we raised and tackled. It was also very fitting that today was the Show Racism the Red Card day in school, as this fitted in very well with the work that we have been doing.

A massive congratulations to Primary 6/7 for their excellent performances yesterday and today.

Our school value award winners for this week are Isla and Henry. Congratulations!

Have a lovely holiday. We look forward to seeing you back at school on Tuesday 28th October. Take care and stay safe boys and girls.

Tickled Pink

• P6s enjoyed their trip to Whitburn Swimming pool for their swimming assessment. They got to have some fun in the water and even danced the Macarena!
• For maths we started learning about area of shapes and that we need to add a tiny 2 after cm to show that it means cm squared.
• In literacy we played a new game called ‘Vocabularious’ where we had to match ambitious words to their pictures.

Green for Growth

• Continuing to work on spelling and taking our time to sound out and use our existing knowledge.
• We are are going to keep trying with the times tables and using the inverse for division. We begun a new game called ‘Fizz Buzz’ to help us learn the multiples of different numbers.

No lead learners this week since it is a holiday next week.

This week has been fabulous for Primary 3/4! However, we were very sad to have our last music session with Mrs de Luen, we will miss her!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that we are doing well as we start new topics in Numeracy. Some of us have started looking at division!
• We really enjoyed our last lesson with Mrs de Luen. We have loved learning all about different areas of music.
• We all think that parents evening went well this week! We liked showing off our work to our grown ups and Miss White enjoyed meeting them.
• Some of us have enjoyed practicing our spelling words and learning all about homophones in Literacy. We are improving every week!

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

• Some of us want to keep improving our writing. We are focusing on uplevelling our work!
• We want to keep practicing our listening, especially in PE. Some of us feel as though we are losing out on time because we are not ready. We are going to work on this!

Our value award winners this week for being ambitious is Emma and for being respectful is Miah! Well done!

Have a lovely holiday Primary 3/4, see you all when we’re back.

Tickled Pink

• Visit from PC Henderson talking about firework safety.
• P5s enjoyed their visit to Whitburn swimming pool.
• The class were taught by Miss Smythe today, a Victorian teacher. She came to us from 1875 and was very strict. She made us recite times tables, do joined up handwriting and sewing.

Green For Growth

1. Still working on rounding to the nearest 10 and 100.
2. Trying our best to read the questions ourselves without asking the teacher.

Primary 6/7 have had a great week in school with lots of wonderful 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 finishing off our character description writing as we felt there was great focus and lots of us managed to complete at least two character descriptions

• We enjoyed our assembly practice as we feel we are making progress and look forward to sharing this with our parents and carers next week

• Many of us enjoyed learning new strategies for dividing by two digit numbers and trying out these strategies in the work that we were doing

• We also really enjoyed our Art lesson as we continued creating our own artwork in the style of Keith Haring

• Lots of us enjoyed our developing our skills for handball in PE
• Many of us enjoyed our work in French with Mrs Flynn
• Some of the Primary 7s who were in the Primary 6/7 class last year, had their bike checks for their Bikeability course and enjoyed taking part in this
• Then class enjoyed welcoming PC Henderson to the class this week to hear his advice and guidance on fireworks and bonfires

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

• Some of us found the work in Maths with dividing by two digit numbers, quite tricky and a little confusing

• Some of us found Maths work with Mrs Flynn, when we were creating 3d shapes, to be difficult especially with the cutting out and sticking the shapes together

Our lead learners for this week were Georgia, Matthew, Archie and Annie.

Our school value award winners for this week are Emma-Jo and Harris. Congratulations!

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

We have had a fun week in Primary 2/3!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• As today is World Mental Health Day, yesterday we wrote about Happy Memories and we enjoyed sharing our happy memories with the class.
• During Literacy Circuit the Pink group were able to think of lots of ‘sh’ words.
• We have been learning about rounding numbers to 10 and we were really successful at playing the Rounding Rockets game.
• We had great fun playing Chaos Tig and Golden River in PE with Mrs Robertson.

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

• Some of us need to concentrate more and try harder to complete tasks.
• We need to work hard on our personal writing targets like using joining words and remembering finger spaces.

Our value award winners for this week are Elodie for being ambitious while learning fractions and Olivia C for being ambitious during writing.

We have had a lovely week in Primary 3/4! We really enjoyed Music on Thursday and are sad that next week is our last session!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that Numeracy has been a strength this week! We have enjoyed working on our addition and subtraction, especially on harder sums!
• We have enjoyed using real leaves in our Art this week! We collected them from the playground and stuck them onto our work to create an Autumn picture!
• Some of us have enjoyed building our textbook skills this week.
• We loved cutting up pizza in Numeracy! We have been working on our Fractions knowledge and used concrete materials to display this.

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

• Although we enjoyed using real leaves in our Art, some of us were finding it tricky to stick them to the page. However, we were resilient and kept trying until it worked! Now our Art looks fabulous on the wall!
• Some of us found division a little bit tricky this week. This is something that we are going to keep working on.

Our value award winners this week for being resilient is Grace and for being responsible is Olivia! Well done!

Great week Primary 3/4, have a lovely weekend!
