Primary Two – Katie morag

In p2 they have been learning about Katie Morag whilst starting this they have watched two short stories about it called “Granny Island”  and ” The Two Grannies”. After watching this they were to write out what happened in the two stories. I have talked two some of the primary twos and all of the have said that they love all the stories about Katie Morag and hope to continue.

Fractions

Friday 20th May 2016

P4/5 have been learning about different fractions this week…here is what the children had to say…

 

Ashleigh “I can work out mixed number fractions by counting how many whole ones can be made and how many are left over.”

Eilidh “I have learned about equivalent fractions and how to convert a decimal into a fraction.”

 

Meghan “I have learned that a sixth means one whole one cut into 6 equal parts. Like in a pizza.”

Music Music Music

This morning we were learning about musical notes with Mrs Grenfell. Mrs Sutherland came back just in time to hear us play a tune and she cleverly guessed that it was our version of Twinkle Twinkle. Here are some of us enjoying our music lesson.

Tales of the Caribbean

We started a new topic in P5/6 this week – Caribbean Islands. We are going to be learning all sorts of information about the Caribbean. We started with a whole class carousel activity and then afterwards decided for which of the islands we are each going to be making a factfile. Everyone is super excited about this topic – we are simply bursting with ideas for study! CIMG0062 CIMG0063 CIMG0064 CIMG0065 CIMG0066 CIMG0067 CIMG0068 CIMG0069 CIMG0070
