P7 Weekly Round Up

What a busy week we have had, but what a fantastic amount of learning we have squeezed in!

Weekly Highlights

Literacy – We had an amazing writing session on Tuesday where we stepped into the character of Graham from our class novel. We imagined what Graham would feel like and what might prompt him to run away from home. There were so many excellent examples we will spend some time next week adding them to our excellent examples literacy wall.

Numeracy – This week some of us have been testing out our growth mindset to the extreme as we try to get our head around long multiplication. The steps involved in the algorithm method can be quite confusing. We are looking at using different methods to help us learn it but we will continue to work on this together!

HWB – Our new unit of Building Resilience is ‘Take a Moment’ – we had a great class discussion centred around the feeling of stress and what it looks like/feels like/sounds like for different people. Please use the home guidance sheet issued for homework to support your child in their emotional literacy and building resilience.

Pupil Voice

Joshua – ‘I liked gymnastics this week because we used different equipment like the vault.’

Zainab – ‘The sky studios trip was really good. We made a trailer.’

Marcella – ‘I liked the sky studios trip. It was fun and we all made our own trailers. We learned about things like special effects.’

Brooke – ‘I learned how to work a camera at Sky Studios.’

Mirren – ‘I liked going to the NHS careers fair and seeing how many jobs there are.’

Harley – ‘At the careers fair I learned there’s a ‘gammy foot shop’ (which we think is the mobility shop on further discussion…) in livi that helps people.’

 

Home Learning

In light of our current learning about what stress feels like please take some time this weekend to explore some of the Take a Moment resources as a family. Watch this clip as a family and use it to prompt discussion about what brings stress and how you deal with it, we talked about some stresses which come and go quickly and others that hang around for a while. Next week we will look at positive steps we can take to react to those stressful moments – practical ways to ‘take a moment’ – click below to access the video…

The Amazing P3 Weekly Update!

Abu Bakr chose our title today as he felt we had been amazing and we had!

Learning Overview.

IDL. 

This week we learned more facts about the Sun and the Moon. We then decorated a Space picture and had to recall a fact we had learned and write this on our sheet.

Literacy.

In our P.M. writing we have been learning about Explanations. As a class we produced a shared writing explanation of the life cycles of a Red Admiral butterfly and a frog. We looked at the different sections of an explanation.

We are continuing to listen to our class novel of The Eejits and finding it so funny!

Numeracy.

In numeracy we are continuing to learn how to add and subtract two digit numbers and this week we looked at using an empty number line to work out where a number would lie between two given  numbers.

Health and Wellbeing.

In P.E. we have been working on different types of balances and working cooperatively to help each other. Next week we are going to do partner balances. In our Resilience work we have been learning the importance of taking some time to relax and concentrate on our breathing.

Spanish.

We have been revising the days of the week in Spanish and noticing how they don’t start with a capital letter as they do in English.

Pupil Voice -Our Highlights.

Victoria ” I love listening to The Eejits. The words are so funny!”

Malakai ” I enjoyed eating the sweets when we were talking about washing our hands.”

Mati” Gymnastics was my favourite as I loved doing the balances.”

Kayla” I liked playing the find the number on the number line game.”

Home Learning Opportunities.

In Numeracy we played the find the number game. Here is the link for you to try at home.

Have a lovely weekend. P3 Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan.

Primary 7 Weekly Round Up!

Weekly Highlights

In Literacy this week we have been preparing for our trip to Sky Academy Studios. On this visit we will be splitting into four studios to create a trailer for our own movie/tv show. In groups of four we have looked at genres and created storyboards to illustrate the beginning, middle and end of our story. We will use our writing lesson next week to re-draft these and vote for our four favourite boards to use on the day.

 

In Numeracy we are getting our heads around word problems. Before Christmas we discussed how difficult we find word problems so we have started taking ten minutes at the beginning of our numeracy learning sessions to work with talk partners to solve word problems together – we have been looking at word problems that use multiplication and division. Perhaps you could come up with some at home together?

 

In HWB we have started our gymnastics block! We have been very happy to have Mr Cummings from St Margaret’s with us for our Wednesday PE slot and will continue to work on the gymnastics shapes, balances and creating sequence showing good posture. We have also begun our new Building Resilience unit where we are looking at our emotions and how complex they can be. We watched a smashing video of a wee baby who experiences some serious emotions in the space of one minute – watch together and enjoy, then discuss those emotions.

Pupil Voice

Daniel – I learned that when you are diving by ten you move all the digits to the left in the place value board.

Ryan T – I learned that away back when in Glasgow all the Catholics were said to support Celtic and all the non-Catholics supported Rangers – in my family half support Celtic and half support Rangers.

Ambra – I learned that Martin Luther King Jr helped people be equal even though they were born a different race.

Haseeb – We have been drawing and writing a story board. I chose fantasy/horror.

Abi – In PM writing we have been learning about the explanation genre.

Home Learning

This weekend it would be great to discuss discrimination as a family. It is a central theme in our class novel, ‘Divided City’ and has been interesting to discuss following our learning about Martin Luther King Jr. Next week all P7s are going to enter the Action on Sectarianism poster competition which will allow us to explore sectarianism in more depth.

Have a lovely weekend!

The first week of November!! Children have had a great time outdoors in the cooler temperatures as Autumn sets in. The groups walked to the library on Tuesday and had the experience of storytelling from the librarian.

No welly Wednesday this week, but lots of outdoor opportunities were had in the garden. Thank you to all our parents who attended our first parent consultations of this session. It’s a great opportunity to get to chat about your child’s’ progression in nursery and share their experiences with us.

Emotions were discussed on Thursday, we are concentrating on 4 emotions; Happy, Sad, Fear and Anger. We will be concentrating on one a week. The first being happy. We would love it if you could take the time to talk at home about these emotions. How they feel, how they look and what would make them feel that way. Please share the learning with us in the nursery.

NURSERY NEWS

We hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend!

This week in nursery found us outdoors having great fun using open ended resources to create risky play and fun experiences to develop our gross motor skills, social development and our thinking.

Tyres and drain pipes were very popular. Some piling them high to make a” Tyre chimney”. This provided a great way of experimenting with sound and echo.

Others used them to roll and crawl inside for fun. The tubing was a great media to experiment with size and measurement. The children found items small and big to fit inside the tubes and roll down to the bottom.

Inside the nursery children were making “pizza” this week using the magnetic triangle shapes. Great discussion then started as to what they like on there Pizza and what shapes were created whilst adding them together. This was a great mathematical experience for the children including counting, fractions and shape recognition. The children then had the experience of going out into the community to buy Pizza for snack from the local shop. We had to keep ourselves safe on the walk there and look around the shelves for what wee needed. We then gave money to the cashier to pay for our items.

The children were gathered around to discuss the shape and how many pieces we would have if we kept cutting it into slices. The best part had to be getting to eat it !!

Invitations were given out this week for our McMillan coffee morning next week. You are all invited back to share a coffee and cake to raise money for this great cause on Thursday at 11.30 for AM children and 1.15 for the PM children. Full day children cn come along on either of the session that suit best.
