Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 have had a fantastic week 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 really enjoyed Outdoor Learning as it was fun going for a walk around Seafield Law

• We enjoyed Writing as we felt we included a lot of great descriptive language in our character descriptions and made great progress

• We thoroughly enjoyed our last golf session in PE as we demonstrated our excellent progress

• We also really enjoyed our Art lesson as we started to create our own artwork in the style of Keith Haring

• Lots of us enjoyed our work in Maths as we made wonderful progress with our division work
• Many of us enjoyed our Adobe Express session on Wednesday about Black History Month and we created a document to illustrate the Underground Railroad
• Lots of the Primary 7s enjoyed their high school visit on Thursday evening and getting the chance to meet some of their future teachers
• Some of our class really enjoyed our Rights Respecting School Steering Group meeting as we felt it was very productive

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

• Some of us found the work with shapes in Maths to be a bit tricky partly due to not demonstrating great listening skills

• Some of us found our class assembly preparation a bit tricky and this is something we will work on much more next week

Our lead learners for this week were Harvey, Amelia, Archie and Annie and they set the following targets for our class; Don’t talk back, Try to finish all of your tasks and Don’t argue with the teacher. The wonderful news is that our lead learners noticed lots of people meeting those targets this week. Well done!

Our school value award winners for this week are Georgia and Matthew. Congratulations!

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

We have had a very busy week in P2/3

Tickled Pink

• We painted trees using broccoli, cotton buds , lego, tin foil and bubble wrap. We created our very own Autumn picture.
• Emma and Rory came to visit from West Lothian Museums to show us and games from long ago. They let us keep a Victorian spinning top, a metal hoop and rail and a moving picture show. It was very interesting. We enjoyed playing with all of the toys and learned that they are very different and they were not made from plastic. Some of the toys were very old. Some of the toys were wooden and none of them had any batteries or used electricity. Children did not have many toys long ago and had to use their imagination.
• We were working on fractions and counting in 10’s.

Green for Growth

• Some really hard sums- working out if its an add or take away.
• Keep working on everyone sitting still on the carpet – and not chatting.
• Some of our work on quarters has been tricky this week.
• We are all going to try really hard at tidy up time to work together and make sure our class is nice and tidy!

We have had a really fun week in Primary 3/4! We particularly liked doing our Hub groups this morning and working with the rest of the school.

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that we are getting better at rounding in Numeracy. We have been practising very hard this week and remembering our rhymes to help us.
• We have also really enjoyed doing Music on a Thursday. We have been learning about rhythm and beats.
• In Science this week we were focusing on predators and prey. We really enjoyed discussing what this means and what examples we know already.
• In Art we have been working on sketching. We have been enjoying using different techniques in our work. This is something that we want to keep working on.

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

• Some of us are still finding some areas in Maths tricky however we are definitely seeing improvements!
• Some of us feel that during our class novel, some people are not doing their best listening. This is something we are going to focus on.
• We also would like to keep working on our spelling, especially in our writing. We are going to work on using our strategies to help us.

Our value award winners for this week are Murren for being respectful and Oliver for being kind!

Have a lovely weekend Primary 3/4 and I’ll see you on Monday!

Tickled Pink

• In PE we have been doing hockey, learning new skills such as how to hold the stick correctly and playing games about tackling other players.
• For writing, we watched a video and then wrote a fantastic descriptive piece of writing about it. We really excelled ourselves and Miss Halliday is very proud.
• We have been improving our times tables knowledge by practising and looking at dividing as well.

Green for Growth

• Some of us are forgetting to bring in our reading homework. Well done to those who have, you are a star!

Lead learners this week are Olivia and Jodie.

Primary 6/7 have had a brilliant week with lots of exciting learning activities in class and two amazing sessions with visitors from Nil By Mouth to our classroom on Thursday. 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 PE as it was our last session playing iron/chipping shots in golf and we have all made great improvements with our golf swings and controlling our shots and we also thought that it was lots of fun

• We really enjoyed our STEM workshop with Jamie from Nil By Mouth yesterday because we were given a great task to construct a wheelbarrow out of Meccano in our small groups

• We thoroughly enjoyed our first outdoor learning session when we were able to go outwith the school grounds and make dens and play in the woods nearby the school

• We also really enjoyed the other workshop that we had on Thursday morning with Dave from Nil By Mouth as we were learning about discrimination and identity by doing some interesting and fun activities

• Lots of us enjoyed our work in French on Language Nut yesterday
• Many of us enjoyed our Adobe Express session on Wednesday where we created our “Day in Data” document as part of Maths Week Scotland
• Some of us enjoyed our division review work in Maths as we felt it was great to learn how to avoid having a remainder when doing division sums

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

• Some of us found the STEM workshop where we had to create the wheelbarrow quite tricky as there weren’t any instructions and we had to work out the process in our groups

• Some of us found our Maths work on division review quite tricky as we started to work on the process for written division sums

Our lead learners for this week were Harvey, Amelia, Jake and Ruaridh and they set the following targets for our class; Be responsible in the playground, Don’t make silly noises in class, Be responsible if you are working outside the classroom and Don’t speak across the classroom or when the teacher is speaking. The fantastic news is that our lead learners noticed lots of people meeting those targets this week. Well done!

Our school value award winners for this week are Archie and Annie. Congratulations!

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

What a fun week in Primary 3/4! We all enjoyed the September break but are glad to be back!

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well)

• We think that our 2D and 3D shape work with Mrs Bain went really well this week.
• We have enjoyed practising different rules and sounds in Literacy.
• Some of us finished our shields this week and were able to take them home!
• We have also really enjoyed doing estimating and rounding in Numeracy.
• We are really proud of our spelling test results this week too!

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

• Some of us feel as though we need to keep being resilient with areas in Numeracy. Some areas are challenging but we will keep working hard!
• We want to keep pushing ourselves with our comprehension skills in Literacy.
• We also really want to focus on continuing to show kindness to everyone in our class.

Our value award winners for this week are Georgia for being responsible and Ryan for being ambitious! Well done!

Great week Primary 3/4, see you on Monday!
