Primary 5’s speedy, super week!

September 22, 2023 Mrs Wotherspoon Leave a comment

Wow what a busy 3 days we have had in Primary 5 this week!

We’ve been really busy practising our sounds ‘ey’ and ‘ai’, and we spent some time using our magnetic boards too.

In numeracy we finished off our Place Value topic this week and next week, we’ll be starting Addition and Subtraction. We had a wee quiz to finish off our topics and some of our class became our teachers to help us.

Primary 5 then taught Mrs Wotherspoon something new when we played our first Blooket on Thursday about our class topic, Mary Queen of Scots! It was very loud in our classroom when the quiz was happening, especially since we used ‘Gold Quest’ mode!!

We also spent some time outside in the sunshine with P1S and it was lovely to see all our little friends, and help them with the bikes and scooters!

And finally, we finished off our Friday with some Handball practice for the Handball Festival that we are going to a week on Monday – October 2nd!

A big well done on another fab week Primary 5!! Have a great weekend!!!

Another busy few days with the Superstars in Primary 1 M.

We learned a new song ” If I were a butterfly “, we danced and made lots of actions to go with the song and we coloured some beautiful butterflies .

At Outdoor Learning we used natural materials to make numbers . Can you spot them in the pictures ?

At Read , Write Inc time we used sounds that we know to blend these together to make words. Wow didn’t we do well !

We also had 3 ‘Star Writers’ who drew an amazing picture and were able to tell Mrs Moffat about it !

Primary 7 organised voting for House Captains and we had to go and cast our votes in their class. It was fun.

Here we are in our ‘House’ Groups with our badges.

How smart are we !

Blue – St Andrew’s House, Red – St Margaret’s House, Green – St John Ogilvie and Yellow- St Ninian’s House

Have a good weekend everyone !

We have been working on our class topic which is “People Who Help Us” and we have identified lots of people who help us in our community.

We discussed their roles and created our own collage models which we have displayed outside our classroom. We think they look fantastic!!

In Numeracy we have been working with a learning partner to use concrete materials and whole-part models to help us write number stories. We have been working very hard!

Primary 1

A short but busy week in Primary 1S

September 22, 2023 Miss Stenhouse Leave a comment

This week we had a great adventure in the woodland area collecting Autumn 🍂 leaves and climbing trees. We then headed to the park to have some fun together.

In class we continued to work on our sounds, we are getting very good at finding and blending sounds to make words, we love Fred games!

In maths we worked together to organise numbers 1 to 10, we are getting good at partner work and using our leader habits.We had to use cutting and sticking skills, some of us find cutting out tricky.

On Friday we got to go up to the voting station in Primary 7. We thought hard about who we wanted to be our house captain and put our votes in the box.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Primary 3 – class novel, “Matilda”

September 21, 2023 Mrs Swanston Leave a comment

Matilda by Roald Dahl | Martha Brook

In Primary 3, we have been listening to a wonderful book called “Matilda” written by Roald Dahl. We have created large posters of the characters and this week we have been thinking of good adjectives to describe them.

Bella – Matilda is smart and extraordinary.

Bonnie – Matilda’s family are horrible and very greedy. I like when Matilda scared her parents with the parrot when she stuck it up the chimney and they thought it was a ghost

Iza – Matilda is a clever girl.

Karlie – My favourite character is Matilda because she is a polite and nice girl and I think she is a bit of a genius.

Stella – My favourite character is Miss Honey because she is kind, caring, beatiful and she is so nice to Matilda. She cares about Matilda unlike her parents.

Damon – I like Mrs Phelps because she is the first to know how smart Matilda is and she let Matilda read lots of amazing books.

Luke – I like Miss Honey and Matilda because they are both nice and intelligent.

Jacob – My favourite character is Mr Wormwood because he sells cars.

Annalee – My favourite part in the story is when Miss Honey finds out how clever Matilda is.

Jessica – Miss Trunchbull is definitely not a good Headteacher. She is a bully and she hates children!

Another super week of learning adventures, and activities, in Rannoch…yesterday we created images of our families through inspiration from the Minion families! The results were super and the children thoroughly enjoyed the painting process! Progress on our work with money continues apace – as does our phonic learning journey with RWInc.

Primary 5 – oh how busy we’ve been…

September 15, 2023 Mrs Wotherspoon Leave a comment

Hi everyone!!!

What a busy, busy time we have had in Primary 5 since returning after our summer holidays 😀

We’ve been settling into our new routine and all the new work that we will be completing! We’ve moved up from working at ‘First Level’ and are now working at ‘Second Level.’ Everyone should be so proud of themselves for all the hard work and effort they have been putting into all our activities!

Miss Fox was back in our class for a couple of weeks whilst Mrs Wotherspoon was off and it was lovely to have her back! She’s now off on maternity leave and hopefully, we’ll get a visit from her and the twins once they’ve arrived.

In class we have been working on lots of different literacy activities including writing, spelling and grammar. In numeracy we have been focussing on place value. We played some outdoor games in the sunshine practising rounding numbers. Soon we will be moving on to addition and subtraction.

Our class topic is ‘Mary, Queen of Scots’ and we have all really enjoyed this so far! We have been up to the woods with Mrs Hudson-Price, Mrs Kennedy and Mrs Watson for outdoor learning and, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons we have been enjoying spending time in the outdoor classroom exploring the mud kitchen and playing foos-ball.

We have also started two new languages in class, Spanish which we are going to be focussing on until the October holidays and on Thursday, we started sign-language. We are learning the alphabet first then we’ll be moving onto greetings.

Homework will start Monday 25th of September after the September weekend and short 3 day week back. We all have new Teams log-in details and have access to this too!

Massive well done to everyone for all their hard work and enthusiasm so far, you are all doing fantastic and are such superstars!! Big well done P5!! Enjoy your September weekend, can’t wait to hear all about it next week!

P1 M Superstars have earned their doughnuts !

September 14, 2023 Mrs Moffat Leave a comment

What another great week in P1 M. Lots of learning and fun have taken place. Everyone has been working extra hard to learn new sounds and slide them together to make words ! Soon we will bring home sounds to show our families how much we have learned. I’m sure you will be amazed at our Superstars !

With maths we have been counting forwards and backwards to 5, 10 and 20. We are beginning to recognise lots of new numbers. We have been doing lots of counting , cutting , matching and sorting numbers and pictures in groups.

This week we had lots of fun learning how to log on to the i pad. It was quite tricky trying to read and find the letters and numbers in the codes that we needed but we were very proud of ourselves that we had managed and didn’t need to ask Mrs Moffat for help. She was super proud and happy too !

We showed lots of creativity this week and had fun with building and crafting.

Sensory activities helped us explore and crawl, jump , balance and wonder !

We also enjoyed watching and dancing to the music in ‘Trolls ‘ and we especially enjoyed our doughnut treats ! Enjoy your September weekend P1 M Superstars !
