Our year in primary 7 so far 😊

We have been doing number talks / number stories since the start of primary 7 and we all as a class have been doing very well been very successful. And then now we do division.While doing our division  in class our teacher taught us bus stop division at the start it was tricky but now it is getting better.

In writing we are doing descriptive writing where we describe what is in a picture, at first it was okay but we weren’t doing it properly so now we are doing it easily with the help of our teacher. 👩‍🏫

 

We have been doing outdoor learning on Thursday and making our names.

We have been having fun in PE doing badminton and basketball. On Tuesdays we have some sports leaders from St Margaret’s who are coming in and doing some games and playing football with us.

This week Rannoch class have been busy exploring numbers and 2D shapes in maths, creating some spooky Halloween art, and enjoying music time together. We loved joining P5 friends for P.E and making the most of our outdoor learning spaces, from the classroom to the trim trail. Time in the sensory room gave us a chance to relax and recharge, rounding off a fun-filled week of learning and play!

 

 

Fun in P4/3

Each week we love our time outdoors with Miss Nelson. Last week we were out in the woods exploring and playing. We were given a task to create a home for an animal using any materials we could find lying around. We used acorns, sticks, leaves, stones, string, little pieces of bricks and rocks.

We have been learning to read and say numbers in French. We had fun playing snakes and ladders using a French dice.

House corner in P4/3

 


In our classroom we have a house corner which we are always changing. Last week we had a business meeting which Joseph chaired and Riley took the minutes.  During this meeting we all got to share our ideas for the house corner and what we would like to turn it into next. We thought about the time of year and lots of us had some very creative ideas. Afterwards we had a vote and it was decided to turn it into a haunted cinema.

We then worked in groups to create the haunted cinema. Some of us painted cardboard to be the outside spooky cinema building and some of us painted scary characters to decorate the inside. We discussed that we need tickets and money and a group of us made those. We made promotional posters which we will display to show which films are on in the cinema and we were very creative in making lots of snacks for the snack stall. We now have lots of popcorn, sweets, chocolate and drinks we can buy when we go to watch a film.

Primary 3 Try Healthy Food!

In Health and Wellbeing, P3 have been learning all about food. We found out where food comes from and used the Eatwell Guide to learn about healthy choices.

We also talked about how to stay safe when preparing food, like washing our hands and using equipment carefully.

The best part was making and tasting healthy foods! P3 were fantastic at trying new things and learning that healthy food can be fun and tasty.

Primary 1

Primary have been thinking about what is in our circle of control. We worked together to put things into our circle of control and what we can’t control, there were lots discussions about this and lots of thinking points.

We have also been using our Building Thinking Classrooms time to increase our meta skills and knowledge. Working together in random groups we have to solve a problem, working it out together. We all enjoy working with our friends.

At outdoor learning this week we were practicing being safe outside the school grounds. We walked to our local park, being very careful walking along side the road. Once at the part we worked on lots of silks, climbing, balancing, sharing, taking turns all while having lots of fun.

We have also been working on developing our critical thinking and problem solving skills in the outdoor classroom, building towers and obstacle courses.

Have a lovely September weekend 😀

 

Learning indoors and outdoors

This week in class we worked on the phonics sound v, exploring words that begin with and include the sound. In numeracy we focused on shapes, learning to recognise and name them. We enjoyed P.E. with Miss Lyndsay and Mrs McMasrer. We explored the  trim trail looking at flowers and the butterflies which helped us with building our confidence outdoors. We also spent time in the outdoor classroom, making the most of the fresh air to support our learning. To finish off, we had fun in music, listening, moving and joining in with rhythms.

Have a great weekend ☺️

 

 

 

Rannoch Class Explore, Build and Create

This week in Rannoch Class we have been busy developing our skills through lots of fun activities. Outdoors, we explored our environment and worked together in construction play, building with big blocks. We enjoyed making music through body percussion, learning to listen and copy sounds. With Play-Doh, we had a great time creating, moving, and working on our fine motor skills through play. The children have been engaged, active and building confidence while learning in different ways.

 

Primary 5 Round Up

This week in P5 we’ve been busy learning and building on our skills. In Literacy, we continued developing our reciprocal reading strategies, with a focus on predicting what might happen next in our stories. In Numeracy, we explored place value and patterns to strengthen our number knowledge. In Science, we linked the water cycle to real-life situations, thinking about how it affects our homes, crops, and the world around us. We also continued learning Spanish, building on greetings and classroom language. It’s been a great week of teamwork, learning, and fun!
