Elections
Today primary 7’s heldan election and we invited in parents to vote.
There was 8 candidates (Shannon, Calum, Mia, Stanislav, Zara, Dhanu, Zayn, and Abhay) who has to stand up in front of everyone and give their speeches! they all did really well.
We had loads of fun making the posters and rosettes and writing the manifestos and speeches – it was an interesting topic since the UK election is coming up.
Shannon had the most votes with 17 so she won the election for her party and had to give a victory speech.

P4a Learning Highlights
Curriculum areas and subjects
In Maths, we have been learning about subtracting and adding using the column method. We learnt how to carry for addition and how to exchange for subtraction.
Interdisciplinary learning
We have been learning about litter and recycling. We did a survey with the whole school to find out what everyone eats during break. Lots of people have crisps so we have decided to recycle crisp packets through Terracycle. We are going to be in charge of this.
We have been learning about the journey of a plastic bag from it being dropped to it going in to the sea. It is dangerous because some animals might eat it or get stuck in it.
The ethos and life of the school
We had our Vertical groups last Friday.
As part of the First Ministers Reading Challenge, we are going to be hiding reading books in the community. We made a letter and on the back of it we drew a picture of a person reading a book.
In the 1 + 2 Gurus, we made posters to show the colours of school lunch tray with the Spanish name on it. We also made speech bubbles of different sayings in Spanish and English.
In Sport and Health, we were writing on a sheet what clubs we would like after school.
In the Tech team, we were learning about how to go on to pupil shared on the laptops. We got to write a story on Word. We then learned how to save it in to a folder.

P3B Learning Highlights 15/11/19
This week in P3B we have been learning about different addition and subtraction strategies. We have been sharing our strategies with the class to find the one that works best for us. It is Anti-Bullying Week, so we decided to make Anti-Bullying posters. We talked about all the things that make a good poster and used these while working with a partner to make our poster the best it could be. To celebrate World Kindness Day, on Wednesday we delivered a little gift to all the staff in the school. We also went round the class and gave each other compliments. Primary 3 were very kind and left compliments on the whiteboard for Miss Brannan as well. On Monday on Remembrance Day we made a Poppy Wreath to remember those who died in the wars. We also made flowers to remember people in our lives who have died and said a special prayer for them.
Our Learning Highlights:
“I liked doing the Anti-Bullying posters. We had to use bright colours.” – Vivien
“We did chimney sums to add and take away.” – Naman
“I played ring toss. I threw the circle on the stick and I got 30 and 20 and 50 points. I added them to get 100” – Marcus
“We delivered a present, a kit kat, to the teachers for World Kindness Day. We said nice things about other people in the class.” – Aeryn
“We made a flower for people up in heaven.” – Amelia and Ali

P4a Learning Highlights
Curriculum areas and subjects
In Maths, we were learning how to use the column method to add and subtraction. We got to add and subtract in the thousands using this method.
We also looked at pictograms. A pictogram is a chart that uses pictures to represent information. Pictograms are set out in the same way as bar charts, but instead of bars they use columns of pictures to show the numbers involved. There is a key so you know how much each picture represents.
In Art, we were learning about hot and cold colours. Cold colours are blue, purple and green. Hot colours are red, orange and yellow. We create an autumn picture using cold colours for the background and hot colours for the falling leaves. It was so much fun!
Interdisciplinary learning
We enjoyed learning about Bonfire Night and how to keep safe. We made a leaflet to show how to keep safe.
We wrote a cinquain poem about autumn. It is five lines long and we had to use the right amount of syllables on each line. We also used alliteration. It was a challenge!
The ethos and life of the school
Last week we had a visitor from the SSPCA. We discussed how to look after pets. We then made a robot animal and got to code it.
