Week beginning 2nd December p3A

This week we have been learning how to sign different Christmas songs and about Christmas celebrations around the world. We have our school elf back for Advent, she is called Sparkle and she brought us some presents. In maths we have been dividing by 2,5 and 10. Ask us all about the strategies we used. Today we are going to the Blessing of the Crib with Fr Simon.

 

Here are some of our learning highlights.

Josh – I learned about dividing when I was playing the division divers game.

Daisy – I learned how to use the maths buzzers.

Emily – I learned the different signs when we were signing the Christmas songs. I also learned that Santa has 6 white kangaroos (the 6 white boomers) to lead the sleigh. The reindeers get a rest!

Patrick – I learned that some people in China don’t celebrate Christmas and some people in Australia have a picnic on the beach for Christmas dinner.

Aoife – I learned that in Australia Santa wears a T-shirt, shorts and flip flops.  Some people in Australia decorate their whole house and street with lights.

P4a Learning Highlights

Curriculum areas and subjects

In Maths, we were learning about doubling and halving numbers. We also looked at bar graphs and pictograms. We had to read the information on both graphs and answer questions.

In Literacy, we were learning how to use speech marks, commas, exclamation and question marks to show people speaking.

Interdisciplinary learning

We were learning about growth mind set, communication, collaboration and creativity. We know that these skills are important for work.

For our topic, we were learning about the different levels of the ocean.  The first is the Sunlight Zone, then the Twilight Zone, next is the Midnight Zone, then the Abyss Zone and finally the Trench Zone.

In Writing, we were learning how to write an explanation. We had to use paragraphs, instructions and headings. We wrote about how we are going to recycle crisp packets.

The ethos and life of the school

Ruqayyah and Zara asked Mrs McKissack if we could recycle crisp packets. She said yes! Jaagruti, Zahra, Tanvi, Chiedochie, Pardhu and Jakub went round each of the classes to explain how we are going to recycle crisp packets in the school.

Please bring your empty crisp packets in from home so we can recycle them too!

P3B Learning Highlights 29/11/19

This week in P3B we have been learning about St. Andrew to celebrate St. Andrew’s Day. We used what we learned to create a fact file about St. Andrew. We also designed our own tartan and made Scottish kilts for our puppets. In maths we were learning different strategies to do multiplication sums and started to learn about 3D shapes. We used our knowledge of 2D shapes to design a mitten with patterns on it.

Our Learning Highlights:

“I enjoyed doing the mitten. I drew shapes” – Akash

“We learned about St. Andrew and we made kilts. We designed the tartan” – Ali

“To multiply we can do step counting and arrays and we can do any sum at all” – Niamh

“I liked when we were doing the shape hunt. We were looking for 3D shapes around the class” – Urwa

“We were looking at animals that go to sleep in the day and they are awake at night” – Jude

P4a Learning Highlights

Curriculum areas and subjects

In Maths, we went over how to add and subtract using the column method again so that we do not forget how to do it. Practise makes perfect!

Interdisciplinary learning

We were making posters to tell the whole school about recycling crisp packets. We worked in groups and we had to take turns to make the poster. We had paper and drew crisp packets on it to so we can stick it on to our crisp packet bin.

The ethos and life of the school

We had a great time on our school trip! At the Education centre, we were building towers. We learnt that if it has a wide base it is more stable.

The instructor told us about engineers. She said that engineers never give up, they are resilient because when they make a mistake, they will try again.

We walked over the Forth Road Bridge. It was scary for some of us. On the way back we weren’t that scared because we knew that we were safe.
