We have all worked hard this week. Here are some of our highlights:

 

Topic: P5R were learning to  play French games outside . We learnt how to play ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’ using French numbers . We learnt it because our topic is France.

Writing: In writing we have been looking at a story called ‘The Apple Orchard’. It  is a recount so we used all the information we have learnt about writing a recount. We got to write about whatever we wanted, for example – our holidays, our weekend or anything else.

P.E.: In P.E. we played Football and we had a tournament to see who the champions were.  Fourth: dark blues,  third: yellows, second: greens and first: :light blues. We also played mini  basketball with Mrs Reeves.

R.E : In R.E. we were learning about St. Joseph. He was a carpenter and we did a crossword about him.

PM Writing : We did a video about recounts for Mrs Purdie including everything we needed to remember.

Maths: We were learning about hundredths and looking at the labels on bottles and packets to see if we could find any examples of hundredths on the labels.

Here are some of our highlights from another busy week in P2/3.

Stay, Play and Be Well was a great success on Tuesday and it was lovely to have so many parents join us and share our learning.

In literacy we have focused on writing recounts with our new resource, PM Writing. Look out for our fabulous recounts in our writing jotters.

We had a lovely surprise this week when our new playroom opened for action. Everyone has had such a great time exploring all of the new activities.

In Spanish we have continued to learn weather phrases as well as learning our phrase of the fortnight. The children have taken the lead in next week’s learning and planned games to help them say the phrases now that they are able to listen to the phrases.

We were delighted to welcome Father on Wednesday as he helped us to prepare for Reconciliation.

Reading has been another highlight this week and everyone loved BEAR time when we read with out bears. We’re also reading a novel by ‘Attack of the Demon Dinner Ladies’ by Pamela Butchart which is making us all giggle.

In maths we have been using arrays to help us multiply and everyone agreed that their favourite way to create an array was to use Cheerios.

Have a lovely weekend.

 This week we met our buddies and it was very exciting. We are looking forward to having this big responsibility.

All thanks to Mr,McCurdy in PE we had an option of Football, Basketball or Heady handball. This was great fun!

We are also very proud of some of our classmates as they participated in a Glee competition at Howden Parks Centre.  Well done girls!

We had PM writing and it was great and fun learning. We have book for the PM writing it was the ‘The Apple Orchard’. We are using this text to build on our knowledge of nouns, pronouns, verbs and past tense verbs. This is helping us to develop our writing skills and writing a recount.

For our Writing we wrote about being Nursery Buddies in PE. We have the chance to do this every Thursday and we really enjoy it. Please check out twitter to see us in action.

We have been working hard practicing for the ‘The Gospel Show’.  It is very fun to do and it’s exciting to see how it is all coming together.

This week was fun and exciting!

Here is the news from P5R for this week:

Some of the girls in P5R went to the Glee competition last night and they came 2^nd  place! They all really enjoyed it and they all received a medal for their hard work and great achievement.

We all took part to complete some scientific research about an explorer of our choice. We used the internet and made notes and then we presented our notes.  Some people chose to do a Power Point but most people chose to do a SWAY.

We continued to learn about  PM Writing, looking at past tense verbs, nouns and time and sequence words.

We also went to the library and chose some new books.

In reading we learned about an apple orchard.

For PE we played football and some people wanted to play inside and some out.

We learnt about St Patrick’s Day in R.E.

On Tuesday we had a Stay, Play and Be Well morning. There were four different workshops:

Mindfulness:  We learnt how to make a glitter bottle.

Online Safety: We answered questions sheets using a website and completed a word search.

Sleep Scotland: We learnt how to sleep and what to avoid in order to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Resilience: We worked in groups to design a poster about being resilient.

We also made aeroplanes and helicopters in Science. We had a competition to determine how far all of our planes could travel. Seamus managed to throw his for the longest distance – 10.06 metres!

Primary 3 have had a fantastic week filled with lots of learning and fun. Here are some of our highlights

This week  in numeracy we have been developing our knowledge of the 3 and 4 times table. We love playing games to help us learn the times tables. Some of our favourite games are Buzz and Multiplication bumps. We have been learning about arrays to help us with multiplication. We used our knowledge of arrays to create array art.

In maths we  been learning how to convert analogue time into digital time.

We have been using a new writing scheme to help us to write a recount. This week we wrote our own recount about our morning routine. We have been learning about the structure of a recount and some time and sequence words to help us write our morning routine in order. (e.g. first, next, then, soon afterwards and finally.)

We enjoy learning about new spelling patterns in fun and creative ways. One of our favourites is tennis spelling.

We have been developing our reading skills and our understanding of texts by answering literal,  inferential and evaluative questions about our reading books. We have also been enjoying reading for pleasure with our new reading books from the library and the books Adam and Esmee chose from Waterstones last week. As a class we have chosen to read David Walliams new book ‘Fing’. We think it is fantastic.

Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning all about the characteristics of living things. This week we explored our outdoor area to find as many living things as possible. We found some really interesting living things like centipedes, woodlouse, caterpillars, stick insects, beetles, daffodils and lavender. We couldn’t believe how many living things are all around us.

On Tuesday we really enjoyed welcoming our parents to our class for ‘Stay, Play and Be Well’. It was a lovely afternoon sharing lots of our learning with our parents. We did some role on the wall to explore some body sensations and behaviours, we designed a boat for skipper to help us on our river of life, we had discussions about the challenges that we have faced and might face when on our river of life, we wrote letters to Skipper to ask him some questions about how he manages his emotions during difficult times and we did some story massage with ‘The Gruffalo’.

This week we had a lovely surprise. We have a brand new playroom to help us develop our creativity and imagination. There are lots of different activities and resources for us to play with.

Ask us all about it at home!

Have a lovely weekend
