This week we had a lovely visit from Arch Bishop Leo Cushley.

On Tuesday we investigated Shrove Tuesday traditions and sampled some pancakes.  This led us to write imaginative stories about a runaway pancake on Wednesday.  We also  took part in our  Ash Wednesday service to mark the beginning of Lent. We have spoken about our Lenten promises.

We celebrated World Book Day and had a super DEAR (drop everything and read).  We also listened to one of our favourite authors, Alex T. Smith, speak about how he finds inspiration for his writing and then visited ‘Story Detective Stations’ to create our own stories.  The stories we created were fantastic!  There was much excitement as Mirren and Abby headed off to Waterstone’s to choose some new books for our class library and our new books have been much in demand.

Karen from RHET visited us on Friday and helped us to plant potatoes as part of our Science topic.  We’ve entered a competition with other schools to see who can grow the heaviest crop of potatoes – but we’re most excited about eating our potatoes.

Another highlight on Friday was our story massage session when Mrs Stewart and Mrs McCabe taught us how to use massage.  We all agreed that it helped us to feel peaceful and calm.

Our work in writing this week has focused on recounts and we’re developing our skills in using nouns, past tense verbs and time and sequence words.  Look our for our recounts next week.

In maths we’ve been working on subtraction and multiplication. P2 developed their digital skills during maths when they made videos to demonstrate how we use arrays to solve multiplication problems.

Have a great weekend.

P5R and Mrs Reeves

Aaron, Harry, Ryan, Ahmad, Filip, Abdullah, Alan, Kayden, Wojciech and Lennon – We enjoyed doing football for PE with Mr McCurdy. When we were playing we had the experience of goalkeeping or being an outfield player. When you were watching you could steal some ideas from other people.

Yaroslav – I liked doing Number Talks. I like learning how to get better at subtraction. I can get my answer straight away now.

Matthew, Annayah, Filip, Angelina, Oma, Madison, Alishba and Marcus – We liked playing Russian Longball. 1 person had to roll the ball to someone who would kick it then the team would run to the other wall and back. The opposite team had to get the ball and like dodgeball they would throw the ball towards our legs to try and get us out.

Maeve, Chloe, Leo, Alishba and Annayah – We liked going to the P4 Cluster Assembly about Fairtrade. It was really fun and we got to learn some more facts about Fairtrade and how it helps. We didn’t know that gold was a Fairtrade product and we also liked hearing some Fairtrade songs from other classes. Chloe liked holding up the A for our acrostic poem which read FAIRTRADE.

 

Julia – I liked setting new goals to work harder. One of my new goals is to read more.

Lilly and Ava – We liked working with Mrs Currie for maths. We used play dough to make an array with dots. Lilly remembers that 4 x 5 = 20.

Vanessa and Angelina – We liked doing maths work with cylinders, spheres, triangular prisms and pyramids. These are 3D objects.

Alice, Ana and Zoe – We liked doing the reading SNSA which was an online assessment. We also liked going to Mindfulness.

Angelina and Oma – We liked creating a superhero to help us with the GIRFEC indicator Respected. Our superheroes powers were: a lasso which took away any fears and bully support.

Have a great weekend everyone!

P4 and Miss Ford 🙂
