This was a busy week for P4 as we had Mrs Young and we were learning more interesting facts about Scotland.

Vanessa:This week we have been learning all about Mary Queen of Scots and how she lived her life.  Some of the facts we were taught included all about her early life and about when she was put into prison,

Beth: She had three husbands,

Paige: She was Queen of France for a short time and her cousin was Queen Elizabeth 1st of England.

We also started lovely self portraits and we are looking forward to finishing these off next week.

In maths we were looking at our mental maths strategies and we focused on the four number processes. We thought it was like P6 work!!

We rounded off the week with Mrs Docherty and we looked at our Health and well-being indicators. Mrs Docherty was so impressed by how we could discuss these confidently and link them to our Values. We really are clever boys and girls in P4.

The icing on the cake was getting to wear our pyjamas to school on Friday to help raise money for our Lenten appeal.

Charlie: It was awesome!

Have a lovely weekend boys and girls you deserve it.

 

This week in P7 we have done lots of work on our topic as we are coming closer in our timeline to the present day. As we told you last week we were planning to hold a debate. On Monday we learned lots of information about the Scottish Parliament Debating Chamber and we even made our own model!

On Wednesday we debated the motion: ‘Should Scotland be an independent country?’ This originated from the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum which we have been learning about as part of our Democracy topic. We learned lots of information and reasons why people voted for and against Scottish independence and following our class debate we held a vote. Sydney and Christy were our tellers who counted the votes. They counted 16 NO votes and 7 YES votes so our class voted the same way as the referendum actually resulted in 2014 which we found very interesting.

We then created newspaper reports as if our referendum result was breaking news which was really fun because it made us realise the excitement and really important role of journalists and the media in a referendum which affects so many people. Everyone is really enjoying the Democracy topic and we are learning lots of up to date and relevant information!

Have a great weekend 🙂

P2M Have had a fun filled week. We are really enjoying our new topic of ‘transport’ and have shown a particular interest in old transport. This week we were learning about ‘Penny Farthings’. We thought that this was a very funny name as well as a very funny looking bike. We used our art and fine motor skills to create our own penny farthings using wool and chalk. Have a look for them next time you are in our classroom on our ‘Transport’ display wall. In our structured play all children have shown an interest in space travel and rockets and we are really looking forward to learning about this next week.

We had a great day for ‘world book day’ on Thursday and there were lots of fantastic costumes. Have you spent your £1 book token yet? If you have, I would love to find out what book you bought? Thursday was our achievements assembly too. Awards were given to those who have been working really hard with their reading – well done to Sophie Douglas our winner in P2M.

We are continuing with our multiplication topic and this week we focused on an array. Ask your child if they remember what an array is? Miss Meechan is very impressed with how well we are doing with this number topic. We are all clever clogs in our class!

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Meechan
