• We are going to make sure we read our home reading book for every Wednesday.

Lead learners this week are Ellie Mae and Blake.

Another great week for P2/3!

Tickled Pink:

• This week we have been working hard in numeracy and have started adding 2 and 3-digit numbers together. We will keep working on this next week but we are really enjoying learning about carrying the numbers over.
• We also got to take part in a fun activity yesterday where we created our own volcanoes. We made an explosion in the sink using vinegar and it smelled so bad! This was really fun and we all enjoyed it.

Green for Growth:

• We are working on our noise level within the classroom. We have created a noise level system and have been working hard to stick to each level. This is going really well and everyone has been enjoying this.
• We are also working on moving around the classroom quickly and quietly when given instructions. When we do this successfully, we earn table points for our groups and can win a prize at the end of the week.

Our lead learners this week are Olivia for being kind and Miah for being respectful – Well done!

Tickled Pink:

• In outdoor learning, we learned some new playground games and had lots of fun doing so. We learned Pacman, telephone and we played What’s the time Mr Wolf which some of us hadn’t played in a long time.
• We have been practicing our control with a racquet in badminton as well as our stance and how to serve when we have a target aimed at us.
• During Art, we have been creating origami frogs which we raced against each other to see which frog went the furthest.

Green for Growth:

• We were working on turning fractions into decimals. Some people found this a little tricky and we needed a couple of days to work on this and finish our tasks.
• In our weaving, we have struggled with creating the knots in our wool. We will keep practicing these.

Our lead learners are Charlie and Frankie.

Tickled Pink:

• We enjoyed writing about what we done in the holidays – it sounds like everyone had a fantastic time!
• We loved catching up with our buddies and reading together. We played tricky word bingo and had lots of fun looking for the words in our stories.
• We were learning about how to care for babies this week as part of our Health and Wellbeing lessons. We spoke about what babies need and designed our own baby vests. The children loved role play in the home corner with the babies.

Green for Growth:

• Some children are finding it a bit tricky to remember the tricky words – we practise these regularly.
• Some children found French a bit tricky – we are learning the days of the week and how to say them correctly in order.

Lead Learners next week are Emily and Freddie!

Have a super weekend,

Mrs Wallace

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week leading up to the February break, with lots of great learning activities in class as well as working hard to prepare for sharing our Burns Supper with parents and carers. On Friday morning, we discussed our week in school and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We continued to enjoy creating our Gala Day art for the competition to design the front cover of the Seafield Gala Day programme. We enjoyed finding out about different events over the decades as we designed our artwork
• We enjoyed reviewing our learning about Time in Maths and then moving on to learn about Distance, Speed and Time and the formulae needed to work out these calculations
• We also enjoyed working on our Scottish word art which was part of our mini focus on Scotland over the last few weeks. We also enjoyed hearing the story “Kidnappit” which is a Scots language graphic novel version of the book “Kidnapped” by Robert Louis Stevenson
• Our Primary 7s enjoyed their online fractions transition lesson with Mr McConville this week as they found it easy because of the work that we have done recently in class on fractions and decimals
• We continue to enjoy our focus on badminton in PE as we are making improvements with our hand/eye coordination and control of the racket and shuttle
• We continued to enjoy getting ready to present our Burns Supper for our parents and carers

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

• Some of us found learning about Distance, Speed and Time a bit tricky in Maths and we will continue to focus on this after the February break
• We also felt that learning the pronunciation of phrases for sports and activities in French was quite tricky
• Lastly, we also thought it was a bit difficult getting started with our artwork for the Gala Day competition entry as the “Through the Decades” theme was a bit hard to understand and transfer into an A4 design

The girls and boys in class were all absolutely fantastic in our Burns Supper on Friday. We hope that you all enjoyed it, if you were able to make it along.

Our school value award winners for this week are Darcey and Faith.

Well done for a brilliant week, P6/7 and an absolutely magnificent P6/7 Burns Supper presentation for our parents and carers on Friday morning. Have a lovely February break and we look forward to seeing the children back in school on Tuesday 18^th February.

• Miss Love taught us for a whole day on Wednesday, even during PE. It was so much fun and we can’t wait to work with her some more.
• We have started practising for our class assembly already, we have a script and some songs to learn.
• In writing, we wrote a narrative story about the Titanic but we made sure that our characters survived it sinking.

Green for Growth

• We are going to keep working on our mental maths skills.

Lead learners this week were Brandon and Oliver.

Tickled Pink:

• We performed our class assembly this week, thank you to everyone who came. We loved all of it but especially enjoyed doing the dancing and singing the jeely piece song!
• In outdoor learning, we enjoyed making dens, running about the woods playing games, climbing trees and building hammocks.

Green for Growth:

• We have started Time in Maths this week and started with a little test to find out what we already knew. Some of us found this quite tricky but we will keep working on this after the holidays.
• We have sent in our Galaday posters today although we did find it a bit hard to think about what to draw and some of us restarted a couple of times.

Our lead learners are Mason and Ella

Another brilliant week for P2/3!

Tickled Pink:

• We have been enjoying our churches topic in RME so much that some of us challenged ourselves during outdoor learning to build our own church out of sticks!
• We have been making good progress in HWB working on staying safe around medicine. We discussed different medicines and how they can help us and also how medicine could be dangerous if we are not careful. We thought about who would be a safe person to give us medicine in different settings and completed a sorting activity about safe and unsafe products around the house.
• In French we learned how to order our school lunches and have been doing this every morning this week!

Green for Growth:

• We have been working hard on our 3 times table this week and want to continue with this next week as it has been a little tricky.
• We have also been working on our level of noise in the classroom and practicing moving around the class quickly and quietly.

Our lead learners this week are Lucas Y for being respectful and Harriet for being kind – Well done!

Tickled Pink

• We had fun learning about Pictographs this week – filling in our favourite cakes and ice creams and finding out which is the most popular and least.
• We done well with writing this week, it was about being on a pond and the children came up with super sentences using the describing bubble to help.
• We enjoyed seeing our buddies and learning how to make snowflakes – some children found the cutting a bit tricky but their buddy was there to help them… they looked so cool when we opened them out.

Green for Growth

• Some children found tally marks during Outdoor Learning a bit tricky, they had to sort a group of objects into colours and then record it in a table to show how many there were of each colour.

Our Lead Learners are Flynn and Elodie.

Have a super holiday and I look forward to hearing what you have been up to when we return on Tuesday 18th February!

Tickled Pink:

• We enjoyed performing our Burns Supper to the DISCO group yesterday. We put a lot of effort into our singing, dancing and poetry and were proud to show what we had been doing.
• We are busy preparing for our class assembly next Friday. We can’t wait to perform for all our families!
• We have welcomed a new pupil into our classroom this week who has settled in very well.

Green for growth:

• We are continuing to work on fractions although we are finding it still quite tricky. Some of us are working on finding a fraction of an amount and some of us have been working on equivalent and simplifying fractions. We will keep working on this.
• We started the narrative genre in writing this week and had to write about characters being lost in a cave. We will be working on building up the description of characters, setting and plot.

Our lead learners this week are Isla and Sebastian.
