P7 are back and ready to learn!

April 22, 2015 Miss Brown Leave a comment

P7 had a wonderful holiday and have had a busy first week back! We have not stopped talking about all of the wonderful adventures we have been on and have a fresh mind for our last term at Williamston Primary School!
This can be a sad term for the pupils in P7 as they look back at all of the exciting years they have had here, and look to the future and the exciting times that lie ahead.

We have been working very hard on our Young Writer entries this week, we are making sure we add lots of description and detail. We have also had Miss Hao back with us and we have been reading, writing and pronouncing Chinese numbers. Also we have started our yearbook entries which is a bit nerve racking and exciting to realise that high school is upon us! Primary 7 are really looking forward to the term ahead!

P2a fun in the sun!

April 21, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Finally, Spring has sprung! To celebrate the sunny weather P2a went outside for PE. We had so much fun and used a lot of energy playing Hot Potato. Being outside gave us more space to practise our throwing and catching skills. We even managed to play it with 3 potatoes (balls) we tried to keep our eye on the ball and call the person’s name before throwing

Primary 3a Outdoor Active spelling

April 20, 2015 Miss Robertson Leave a comment

We chose to make the most of the lovely weather in P3a this afternoon and took our learning outdoors!

We worked with a partner and searched the playground for a variety of items such as sticks, stones and flowers to spell out our new spelling words for this week. It was a great way to help us remember our new spelling patterns and we had so much fun outdoors. We also used chalk to write our words and draw pictures to represent them.

P4 Easter Gardens

April 2, 2015 Miss McMillan Leave a comment

In Primary 4 we have been learning about the Christian festival of Easter. We revised the Easter story and found out about Easter customs and their meaning.We were set a group challenge to design, plan and make an Easter Garden. It was great fun collecting the resources and working with our classmates. Skills we developed included creativity, problem-solving and team-work. Take a look at some of our Easter Gardens!

P6 book is complete!

April 2, 2015 Mrs Carral Leave a comment

It’s been a busy few weeks in P6 and we are pleased to tell you all that we have now completed our book! The illustrations and story are now complete and on their way to the publisher! We are very excited to see it! The workshops with Mary T Thomson were great; we learnt so much about the process of writing a book. We also learned a lot about ourselves with the the various personality workshops that we took part in when coming up with characters for the book!
We enjoyed our French day, we tasted different French foods, looked at various phrases that we could use and even become impressionists for the day and took inspiration from French artist Monet…photos to follow when our masterpiece is complete! We also made some beautiful European landmark collages as part of our Europe topic, too! We have been working hard in maths, covering lots of concepts, keeping on top of our number work and times tables!
We look forward to our last term in P6, when we will find out news about buddies and take on some big responsibilities! Happy Easter!

Drill…drill….drill….

Primary 1 are becoming experts in drilling and sawing within our Scotland technology topic. Each week a different group get to work on their chosen product, drilling holes into their block of wood and sawing wood to use as pegs or hoopla sticks. We are becoming more confident using tools safely.

French with Mr McEvoy

April 2, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Today the boys and girls in primary 2 and primary 2/1 enjoyed a special Easter treat when Mr McEvoy returned to share some French with the boys and girls. Mr McEvoy helped the boys and girls learn their numbers, colours and body parts in French. He was very impressed with how much they had remembered from his last visit. The boys and girls played the odd and even game and peek-a-boo with a pirate mask. Mr McEvoy has taught them some key phrases like ‘I live in’, ‘J’habite a…’, he has even taught them a very catchy number song, why not ask one of the boys or girls to sing it for you.
