This week we have been making sure our logins work and playing prodigy and sumdog. We took our homework jotters home to practise using our logins at home. After the September weekend holiday we will complete our homework in our jotter but take a photograph and post it onto our eportfolio to share it with Mrs Miller.
We are getting better at Big Maths Beat That and CLIC on a Monday and Friday. We are getting a better understanding of Place Value of digits in bigger numbers and are able to identify names and features of 2D shape in maths.
We have all posted a picture of our work onto our eportfolios to share with our mums and dads at home. We are all in our reading groups in class and after the September weekend holiday we will have a reading book online.
We enjoyed our outdoor learning this week. Half of us were in the school garden weeding and preparing to plant. Half of us were in the school woodland writing our names using sticks, stones and leaves.
On a Friday morning we are learning how our Emotions work. We will all be completing activities in small groups to help us become more confident.

We’ve had a great week in P6B!
Numeracy/Maths: We have been learning about addition and subtraction using the column method. We have also been learning about angles with Mrs. Morrison.
Literacy: We have been learning about nouns, adjectives and verbs and successfully included these in our writing. We also began to explore different types of text this week; videos, pictures, written text etc. The children found this interesting and enjoyed their comprehension activities related to a movie trailer.
Health and Wellbeing: We are learning how to express our emotions and discussing strategies that can help us in times of worry and change. We continued and finished our detailed team work art project this week and they look amazing!
Outdoor learning: In our groups, we worked together to find sticks for a game of knots and crosses! It was a lot of fun and we did a GREAT job at remembering our school and class values: ready, respectful and safe!
IDL: We enjoyed working in groups to discuss our topic Extreme Earth we were able to share our prior knowledge with each other and thought of many exciting things we would like to learn about. We researched facts about the earth and began to build a fact file on volcanoes for our topic working wall.

Last week in P7B we had quite a range of things going on.
Outdoor Learning:
We split into two groups and switched half way through the session. The first group were completing a colour matching activity, trying to find a range of colours in nature. Some were more easy than others.
Melody says, “Outdoor learning was fun last week because we got to go in pairs and look for different coloured things. It was so fun getting to work with a friend.”
The second group were learning about the Fire Triangle and that for fire to exist it needs three things: Fuel, Oxygen and Heat. We also collected some kindling and next week we will use the flint and steel to try and light a fire!
Kashvita says,”We learned about the fire triangle then we collected wood for a real fire.”
House Captain Speeches.
On Friday we had a Teams meeting P4-7 where those who wanted to gave speeches to try and become the Captain (or Vice-Cpatain) for their House. After each house’s speeches, the pupils in that house (4-7) voted and we hope to soon find out who has been successful.
Finlay says, “When I gave my speech I felt nervous but confident.”
Faryl says, “Doing a House Captain speech was nerve-wracking and scary but if you don’t try there isn’t going to be a second chance.”
We are continuing with lots of other learning, working hard and enjoying being back at school.

Learning Highlights:
Samyuktha- I liked designing my own pizza because I got to work with my friend.
Myles: I liked going onto teams.
Olivier: I liked doing the morning starter where we had to write the name of the shape, the numbers of sides, and, the number of vertices.
Natalia: I liked using adjectives to describe my pizza, some of them were – cheesy, stretchy.
Aoife – I liked making our pizza and putting it on chatter pix.
Miss Smith and Mrs Broadley’s Learning Highlights:
We were really pleased the pupils enjoyed doing our ‘ Say it, write it in digits, make it using dienes, make it using digit cards, write the number in words activity’ when making their own 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers.
The pupils really engaged in the What Shape am I game too ;
After Sam and Aoife had used adjectives to describe their pizza, they used chatter pix to make it talk:

Another busy week of learning in P1A!
This week we have been writing sentences about what Ogilvie Bear can do. We remembered the full stop at the end.
We have been learning the ‘m’ sound. We make this sound with our lips. We were writing the letter ‘m’ with the red crayons. We played a game where we had to jump in the hoop when we heard the ‘m’ sound at the end or when it was the first sound. We had to listen carefully.
In maths we learned how to write number 3 and 4. We played the Yeti game to help us count properly.
In RE we made some special mirrors to show that we are all unique.
These are our personal highlights from this week:
Ella – I liked drawing.
Ruari – I liked playing with the cars.
Pola – I liked being in the pizza shop.
Zosia – I liked to draw.
Ollie – I liked doing the mazes.
Aiden G – I like it when we do the sticky waffle song.
Kyle – I liked drawing.
On Monday we will be posting a link to our virtual classroom on the blog. This will have links to activities to help us consolidate our learning at home.
Have a lovely weekend!
Primary 1A and Miss Stebbing
