Working together in Ness Class

Teamwork was the theme of the week in Ness Class. We were all helping each other learn during reading, number and playing.

In Reading, some of us wanted to help read our Book Of The Week. Laura, Dominic, Hunter and Lochlan were very keen to ‘be teacher’ and teach the book to the class.

In number, we have been learning about Fractions. We used a big bag of sweets to help our understanding about what a fraction is. Everyone helped share out our 1 Big Bag into tenths. Some of us even understood sharing the small bags into thirteenths. Mr Elliott, Mrs Mains and Mrs Hill were absolutely amazed at our knowledge.

Finally, we have a lovely playtime today in the sun. Hunter, Dominic, Nathan and Laura decided to play their own game of Duck-Duck-Go! Or as it’s known in our class: Quack-Quack-Run!

Enjoy our pictures 🙂

   

Primary 1

On Monday we learned all about St Patrick, we used this learning of the trinity to make beautiful shamrock ☘️ sun catchers.

We also had a lovely buddy hour where we read to our buddies and they read to us.

Cake 🍰 and 🍭 candy sale was lots of fun, we got to take our money up and buy cakes. This was a great opportunity to use money in a real life setting.

On Thursday we had our outdoor learning in the school garden. We have been growing pumpkin 🎃 plants 🌱 in our classroom but they were getting too big for their pots. We wanted to plant them in the ground but because it has been frosty 🥶 in the morning we decided to put them in bigger pots and bring them back into the classroom.           We did get to dig a big hole and plant our Christmas tree 🌲 that our elf brought us during lent.

On Friday we enjoyed a lovely assembly led by Primary 4  all about Easter.

Have a lovely weekend.

What a busy few weeks!

We’ve had a busy few weeks in P6, here is a round up of it all.

Last Thursday we celebrated world book day, we had plenty of fun activities that linked to reading books – quizzes, private reading time, designing a new book cover and a scavenger hunt.

Last week we had a fantastic turn out for our big breakfast and sharing our learning! Thanks to all our grown ups for attending and participating! We hope you enjoyed it.

This week we have been busy learning all about persuasive writing, multiplying fractions & introduced to our new class novels.

We also got to update our digital profiles, which we’ll be able to share soon.

On Friday (today) we had a p4 to p7 bingo and had a few winners. Our focus for our assembly today was Rights Respecting Schools.

Primary 1

We had a lovely buddy session on Monday where we got to read books 📚 to our big P7 buddies. We then showed them how good we have got at using Sumdog.

We had the chance to look at all the book fair books 📚 we are going to let our grown ups at home know what books we like.

On Thursday we spent some time in the woodland area and trip trail for our outdoor learning. In the woods we went on a treasure hunt looking for different things, leaves 🍁 sticks and acorns. In the trim trail we worked on our balance and coordination.

On Friday we took part in our Lent Bingo we had to concentrate hard on the numbers that were called so we could mark the numbers correctly, our P7 buddies helped us.

Have a lovely weekend.

WORLD BOOK DAY and SHARING THE LEARNING – Primary 4

Primary 4 had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day!  What a brilliant day!  Some photos of us in action…

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY – Keep reading!

 

SHARING THE LEARNING

On Friday, we enjoyed having our parents and carers in class to share our learning.  Following our activities on World Book Day yesterday, we decided to do some reading with our parents today.  So, we brought in our favourite books from home and enjoyed reading with our parents.  We then completed a book review detailing our thoughts on the book (or chapter) that we read.  We then designed posters for our class library and chose some book related activities.

Bonnie – I designed a character from my favourite book and my dad helped me.

Jessica – I read a chapter from my Harry Potter book and did my book review.

Hudson – I sat in the library with my mum and we read three books!  I loved it and I love reading!

Bella – I like brining my favourite book from home but I only read a chapter as it had loads of pages.  I’ve got loads of books at home and I liked reading with my mum.

Stella – I liked reading then doing my book review.  I gave my book 5 stars because it’s so good.

Jacob – After reading, I designed a character costume.

Damon – I loved reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” with my mum and it’s my favourite book because it’s so funny.

Jaxon – I liked when my mum came in and we read my story together.

Ellie – I did a reading word-search with my sister and found all the words.  I read a chapter of my book to Jodie.

Karlie – I brought in my favourite Harry Potter book.  It’s so special and the pictures in it are so pretty and it makes me want to read it even more.

THANK YOU very much to all the parents and carers for coming along on Friday.  Your support is always much appreciated and it’s fantastic for all of  the children to share their learning with you.

What a great week in Primary 1!

We have been learning to measure, we have used block, paperclips, hands and feet and finally a ruler. We discussed how it looked like a number line and how it can help us measure. We were all very good at using it!
We had lots of activities around ordering things in size, talkers to shortest, longest to shortest etc. Finally we all got in size order ourselves.

In our topic work we have been looking at Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the focus this week was where we live, or where the school is, Polbeth. We had lots of fun walking round the village ticking off places of interest. We we excited about buying something in the shop and getting to taste a Subway. We finished off our walk with a trip to the park.
