Some of P7/6 enjoyed a trip to see Matilda in Edinburgh this week. It was a fantastic production! We are all looking forward to seeing the upper school put on the show at the end of the year!
In outdoor learning we have been planting trees and enjoying a blindfolded scavenger hunt!
In numeracy we are working on our decimals and in IDL we have begun a detailed look at WWII including which planes were used in the Battle of Britain and how the war began. We will be going on a school trip to East Fortune in May so we are looking forward to learning about this in class first!
In writing we have written several persuasive pieces – getting very good at this. We are also working on various spelling patterns and strategies, handwriting and guided reading skills. Well done P7/6!

This week in P3 we used our measurement skills from Maths to create our very own rain gauges. A rain gauge helps us measure how much rain falls over a period of time. We focused on measuring using centimetres and practised reading the measurements carefully.

First, we made our rain gauges and marked clear measurement lines in centimetres so we could accurately see how much rain collects. We talked about why it is important to measure carefully and make sure the numbers are evenly spaced so the measurements are correct.📏

Once our rain gauges were ready, we went outside to the school garden and planted them securely in the ground. We made sure they were standing straight so they could collect rain properly. Over the weekend, the rain gauges will stay outside to collect any rainfall.💧

Next week, we will go back to the garden to check and measure how much rain has fallen. We will read the measurements and compare our results to see how much rain we had over the weekend.

What we’ve been working on in Primary 7 is our persuasive pieces and we got to choose, we then had worked on our class novel called Holes, we designed a front cover for it for a display, and our focus on the week was summarising in our guided reading.

For our maths this week we have been working on decimals, we have been learning how to add and subtract decimals which was quite easy, we have also been working on our Stem Space Project which was perspectives and that messed with our minds quite a lot.

For our physical education we done spy tag for our warm up in PE and then we done a dodgeball tournament, it was very fun. For our outdoor learning, we unfortunately couldn’t go out due to lots of rain, so we did a worksheet about school values and a colouring in sheet. Finally our art this week, we done Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s style and we drew roses, we used watercolour as well and it was very nice to do.
