A busy week in P6!

This week in P6 we have finishing our Europe topic by presenting our Power points on our favourite country. Next week will will start our new topic Victorians. In maths we have been learning about decimals and angles.  We have started a new writing topic – Persuasive Writing – and have been practising presenting a series of arguments in two class debates.

We have also started working on our Shrek the Musical Jr show, with all pupils rehearsing or helping to paint and build props.

We also began a new session of outdoor learning and will be planting up our raised beds and finishing off our John Muir Award.

In other news well done to Codi and Maddison for taking part in the gymnastics competition – they each received a medal and certificate. And also huge congratulations to Luke, Kymberley and Keira who received an award from St Kent’s for participating well in the Young Stem Leader’s lesson before Easter. Well done!

Primary 4

Today in Primary 4 we spent some time in the garden planting vegetables 🥗.

We have planted potatoes 🥔, onions 🧅, carrots 🥕, broccoli 🥦, lettuce 🥬 and pumpkins 🎃.

We found it very interesting how all the seeds looked different and we were surprised to be growing potatoes from potatoes 🥔 .
This is connected to our topic of planting and farming.

P1 Outdoor Eduction

We loved our first session of outdoor learning with Mr Lockhart. We had fun exploring the woodland area. Some of us were climbing trees, hunting for pine cones, looking for sticks and swinging on the rope swing. Mr Lockhart read us a story all about a dragon. We loved it and can’t wait for our next session.

Jorja – I loved climbing up the trees

Tay Class…Our First Week Back

Lovely to see all the children back to school this week and it’s been a busy one. Here are some photos of what we’ve been up to:

‘H’ enjoyed making and saying numbers and addition sums using the magnetic numbers.

‘A’ sorted the numerals from the puzzle into the correct order.

‘L’ especially likes the  illustrations of the play park in this book.

‘A’ and ‘B’ played with the coloured rice and toy food.

‘A’ and ‘H’ enjoyed creating music outside.

We all enjoyed the sunshine whlist climbing and exploring the trim trail.

‘A’ enjoyed sorting magnetic numbers and making and reading numbers too.

‘L’ played with the treaure chest and liked putting different toys inside.

‘C’ has been very interested in the visual timetable this week.

Some of the class enjoyed making salt dough.  Pouring, mixing and kneading.  Look at those faces… so focussed!

   

The children made collage spring flowers for our window then ‘H’ helped Miss M. to paint stalks for our flowers and butterflies too.  Fantastic!

Here are a few photos of some of the tasks at the teaching table this week.  ‘C’ and ‘B’ did well on the matching tasks.  ‘A’ and ‘A’ used their fine motor skills to carefully complete the letter ‘h’ with a dabber. They also focused well whilst overwriting the letter h and their name too.

A few photos from ‘Choose Time’…

   

‘A’ has enjoyed creating Numberblocks using plasticine or play dough.

What a busy week it has been!

Finally, here a few more photos of the children playing  at the trim trail.  Not so sunny this time but that didn’t stop us.  Lots of exploring, climbing, balancing and challenging themselves!

‘B’ loved pulling the chimes back, letting them go and listening to the sounds they made as they bumped together.

Primary 4

This week in Primary 4 we have been learning all about Vincent Van Gogh. We then created our own flower pictures.

In maths we have moved on to pictographs and bar 📊 graphs.

We had our first Shrek rehearsal this week, in class we will be working on helping to create set backdrops.

Things are Growing in P7


This week we have been looking at the life cycle of plants and how a plant produces seeds.   We have been planting seeds of our own.  The ones that we planted out in the school garden before Easter have become dinner for little visitors to the garden, so undeterred, we are starting again.

 

We have planted cress indoors and letuce, radishes carrots and spring onions outdoors.  We have also been looking at how the plants produce seeds.  We have disected and pressed some flowers and examined each of the parts to learn how seeds are produced.

A great first week back in P1

Welcome back to all our P1 stars. We are delighted to see everyone back and ready to learn.  What a great first week we have had.
in maths we are learning to tell the time. We made our own paper plate clocks which we used to show different times. We really enjoyed playing time games on the interactive board and working with our talk partners to read o’clock and half past.

We made the most of the Spring sunny weather we had on Tuesday and spent some time in the afternoon at the park. We played on the seesaw, swings and climbing frames. Some of us had fun rolling down the hill.

We had a very exciting event happen in class. A dragon visited the class and left a glitter trail leading to a letter. The letter explained that his Fairyland had disappeared and there is nowhere for the Fairytale characters to live. He asked us to make a Fairyland in our classroom. We are really excited to help. We read Jack and the Beanstalk and decided to make a beanstalk in our classroom for Jack. We also drew and painted Jack, the giant and a cow to add to our display.

Rock for Camp

 

As part of their final term enterprise in collaboration with the Parent Council P7 would like to invite everyone from across the school and nursery to a live music event on Friday 28th April.  The doors will open at 6.30pm where there will be music, a raffle and slide coin at the bottle games for adults and children.  There will be some soft drinks and snack available to buy on the night but adults may BYOB.

The band Full Circlewill be performing at the school between 7-9pm.  Christopher Ferguson, our chair of the Parent oCuncil, has been a member of this covers and events band for many years and they have kindly donated their time to raise money for the Primary 7 school camp.  The parent council, for many years now,  have been raising money to ensure that every child who wants to go to camp can get this experience.

The Primary 7 children will be selling the tickets in school.  Numbers are limited so make sure you get your tickets now!
