Primary 5 have been talking about all the things they have been learning this week:

Paige: This week we learned about Mother Teresa with Mrs Purdie. We learned about what she did, how unselfish she was and how much she loved children.

Beth: This week we did drama about our class novel The Astounding Broccoli Boy. We split into groups and did mini scenes from the novel.

Chloe: I took pictures for our Drama. We hope you like them.

Maxx: This week we have been learning about St Ninian because his Feast Day is coming up next week. We learned all about his life.

Preston: We also did some basketball with Mr McCurdy. We were practising half court because we are preparing for a basketball tournament.

Isla: We did letter writing based on our novel. We got to write letters to the main character of our class novel Rory as he is in hospital because he turned green.

Lucas: We did Spanish with Mrs Reeves. We were learning greetings.

¡Buenos días!, ¡Buenos noches!

Rachel: Every Monday we have Monday Circles and this week we talking about the First Minister Reading Challenge.

Have a great weekend!

Primary 7 have been lucky to try out lots of new things this week. Keep reading for some examples!

Eve and Sally: We turned our classroom in to Wonka’s chocolate factory and got the change to try chocolate, fudge and marshmallows (make sure you check out our photos!!!). We did this to generate descriptive words relating to our senses so that we could write a poem. It was so fun!

Dallas: We found out our topic is going to be the United States of America, and we told Miss Ford what specific things we want to learn about.

Charlie: We did a maths carousel about place value where we wrote in the talking book, did some text book questions and played some place value games using some of the Heineman Active Maths games boards and resources.

Paris: Today we went swimming at James Young High School. It was so fun and amazing to see how confident we are in the water. We can’t wait to go back in 2 weeks time!

Joshua: In RE we researched information about our school saint, St. Ninian and then used this information to record group videos on the iPads. Next week we will be showing these to the class.

Freya: In PE we did some more hockey, rugby and team games. We played Russian Long Ball where we had to show focus on the skills of teamwork in creating effective tactics.

Avelon: Finally when we had written our senses poems, Mrs McCabe took photos of us making ridiculous faces!!! We can’t wait for you to see what we have on our wall display when you come to our Ninian’s Natter on Thursday evening (6-7:15pm).

Have a great weekend!

Mrs McMullen and Mrs Scott

This week have been learning lots of new things. Here is what the children have to say about their learning this week;

Aria – “This week we have been making dream jars. We used glass jars, glitter, food colouring and twinkly stars. We designed our own labels. It was really fun and I made a rainbow label.”

Finlay – “This week we were making birthday cards for Our Lady. It was her birthday yesterday (8th of Sept). I put flowers and a cross on mine. We also said the Rosary for Mary.”

Oliwier – ” This week we were making proper sentences. We had lots of mixed up words and had to make them into sentences with a capital letter and full stop.”

Lewis – “This week we had a great assembly all about St Ninian because it is his feast day next week.”

Abi- “On Wednesday Mrs Purdie came into our class and told us some sad news. She said she was changing break time from 15mins to 5mins. I felt shocked. Mrs Wassell then got us to write a letter to Mrs Purdie to share our views about the change.”

Charlie- “We learned how to multiply by 10 and 100. I know that when we multiply by ten we add 1 zero to the end and we multiply by 100 we add 2 zeros to the end.”

Lukasz- “This week in PE we had a game of basketball. We have been learning how to control the ball and pass to other people.”

We hope you all have a super weekend and look forward to telling all about our learning next week.

Well what can we say? Another very busy week for Primary 3 who have continued to impress us both with their positive mindsets and enthusiasm. Lots of excitement and anticipation ……..P3 had a very special baby girl as a visitor.

 Through the Roots of Empathy programme, P3 are learning all about what she can do and what she can’t do yet as well as her different needs. They were super at singing the Welcome and Goodbye Songs for her and followed all the rules about listening well and not shouting in case it was too noisy.

We are enjoying our learning focus on the BFG story and wrote fantastic Acrostic poems using all of our own ideas. We also had lots of fun using measuring tapes to measure our arms and legs – we even had to measure Mrs Scott’s arm and leg when we were comparing all of our measurements!

Sadly, we said goodbye to Fr Paul during a lovely assembly prepared by the P7s. We drew detailed pictures of Fr Paul saying Mass for his special book and we hope he remembers us when he looks at them. We will miss you Fr Paul!
