Primary 5A have had another amazing week where we displayed respectful and safe behaviour.We have continued to adapt well to the new routines and procedures in the school.
Outdoor Education We had a fantastic time in the woodlands creating our own secret gardens as part of our class Topic. The children had fun building there gardens around the doors that had been built into the trees.
.
Literacy – We created character profiles based on Mary Lennox from the Secret Garden. We used a variety of adjectives and adjective phrases to describe her then drew pictures of her exactly matching the description in our writing. Reading comprehension was based on our topic, we discussed the author’s use of language and answered questions on the text.
Maths – We have been learning about compass points and how they are used in real life situations. We used directions to find various places on our map. Primary 5 have been trying really hard to learn our tables and improve our scores in our Big Maths weekly challenge!
Topic – We created a class mind map based on our Secret Garden Topic and completed our water colour tree pictures.
Physical Education – Primary 5 participated in a 12 minute cross country run where we tried to improve our stamina and technique with Mrs Lafferty.
Hot Chocolate Winner – Congratulations to Alessio, who was nominated for the hot chocolate award for going over and above during lessons and activities!
Watch this space for more learning highlights next week !

Another fantastic week in primary 6!
Maths: This week we have continued to work on addition, subtraction and multiplication. We enjoyed working with a partner to play a game called cops and robbers using addition and subtraction strategies. We showed our determination during our problem solving activity by completing a 9 by 9 Sudoku quiz, we didn’t give up until we solved it! We also enjoyed our Big Math and tried our best to beat our own scores from the previous week.
Literacy: Our focus this week was to successfully up-level sentences. We used a range of openers, vocabulary, joiners and punctuation to improve our writing. We completed a variety of active spelling activities and this helped us to remember our spelling patterns. We have started to read ‘Gansta Granny’ By David Walliams as our class novel and found words to add to our word boost lists.
IDL: In order to improve our knowledge of volcanoes further we completed a comprehension activity about Volcanoes of the World. We also created 3D models of a volcano which help to show how each layer is made up.
Art: We created vibrant pictures of volcanoes using paint, oil pastels and chalk pastels. Here are some examples of our work below we would like to share with you.
Over and above: Well done to our over and above winner Niamh! Keep up the hard work.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs Roy

It has been another very busy week in Primary 1B.
This week we have been looking at number 5 and forming all our numbers to five correctly using the correct starting point.
We have been learning about the letter c and the sound it makes. We know c is a yellow sound and it is a short bouncy sound. The sound comes from the back of our throat. We are able to recall words that start with c and also words that end with c. We made beautiful crowns and practiced forming the letter.
In writing this week we wrote a sentence about what we can do. Mrs Russell and Mrs Meikle were very proud of us. We are trying to remember to use finger spaces and a full stop at the end of our sentence to show we are finished.
This week we had our first outdoor learning session we really enjoyed having the opportunity to practice writing our numbers and letters with chalk.
We have started to learn Spanish. We can say hello and goodbye in Spanish. We also found Spain on a map and discussed how far away it is from Scotland. We also looked at the Spanish flag. We can’t wait to learn some new words next week.
We have had lots of fun this week.
I like to play with the blocks so much. I made a dinosaur. (Haadiya)
I like playing at playtime. (Ksawery)
I like playing with the Numicon shapes and blocks. (Sean)
I like running and jumping outside. (Scott)
I like learning. (Addison)
Have a great weekend everyone and we will see you again on Monday for another exciting week of learning 🙂

P2/1 have had another week full of learning experiences. Here are some of the highlights your children have enjoyed:
Szymon liked learning about the brain this week as part of our learning about the body. We found out that messages travel through nerves in our body the whole way to our brain. The message travel very very fast. We pretended to be nerves as we made a human chain. After several attempts, we got the message to travel to the “brain” in 7 seconds! Now that was teamwork in action!
Stefi enjoyed receiving a new jotter in maths that help us with our addition learning.
Millie has also shared that learning about the brain was her favourite part of the week too! She liked it when we closed our eyes and our friend tickled a part of our skin with a feather. Our brain made sense of that feeling and was able to tell us where on our body we felt the tickle. It was a lot of fun! Lots of giggling but lots of brains working hard!
Ismaeel liked using the teacher’s pointer during ‘Choosing Time’ to go around and point to different things on the walls such as numbers on the 100 Number Square or letters on our Colourful Consonants display. A teacher in the making perhaps!
Mrs Devlin’s highlight this week was today when we had ‘Free Writing Friday’ and read our fantastic stories out on our special Author’s Chair. The children came in this morning to a chair decorated with red tinsel. This generated much discussion. Some thought it may be Santa’s chair! The children got very excited to hear all about the purpose of the chair and many children volunteered to read their story out on it. We hope for Mrs Devlin to add some fairy lights to the legs of the chair too!
I am experiencing problems uploading photos just now. When the problem gets fixed I will back date with photos.
Hope you have a lovely weekend and are enjoying our Virtual Classroom! Remember to check it out weekly for updates and homework will be posted there too.

Dear readers,
We hope you have had a really good week!
We began our week by congratulating our star writers! Well done to them!
We also found out about our Big Maths, Beat that and Spelling scores and have congratulated the people who have worked hard to improve them!
On Monday we always change our class jobs and get rewarded when we perform very well.
This week we found out about our new Topic, which is going to be The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. We were very excited because we think it will be very interesting.
In Maths, we have been learning about coordinates and have been enjoying it a lot. We have also continued our learning on rounding to the nearest tens and hundreds.
Regarding Literacy, we have learned better how to use linking words to make our writing more interesting and less repetitive. Also in Literacy, we have been developing our reading comprehension skills and have worked on a text about a boy and his alien friends. The extract of the text we read was very interesting and mysterious…
In P.E., we have been getting ready for cross-country and every time we practise, we come back very tired!
In R.E. , after learning about the 10 Commandments, we have written down our own 8 Rules to make the world a better place and have illustrated them. They look very nice!😃
We have also spent the whole week practising our new spelling words and have become really good at them.
Some people, when finishing off earlier, got to start doing some SUDOKU and are getting better at it every day!
Every day we watch Newsround and after that, to show how good our listening was, we have to answer to questions from Mrs Valente, and get points or Recognition board sticky notes when we get them right.
On a Friday, we start our day with Big Maths, Beat that and also with our Weekly Spelling assessment and we try to do our best!
We would like to invite you to take part in our challenge of finding linking words, for example and, although, but, also, so, or…. We wish you luck!😂
We hope you have had a really nice time reading about what we have done this week and also that you have an exciting weekend!
Love from Primary 5B ❤
