P7m 03/09/21

For the first blog of the new term, P7m would like to share their learning around the Scottish Parliament:

“I have enjoyed creating our timelines to show the history and the creation of our Scottish Parliament”.

“It was interesting to find out about the 6 main political parties, what they stand for and why”.

” I liked doing the pencil drawings of the Scottish Parliament building and then adding some graffiti writing”.

This topic has linked in with our persuasive writing and our applications for a pupil leadership role.  These roles have been voted for by both the children and the staff.  We are looking forward to sharing our news with you at home about our new Pupil Leadership Team for 2021-22!

Primary 5wm have lots to tell you about our first few weeks in Primary 5! We have been busy working with Mrs Wells and Mrs Magee and have settled in to Primary 5 very well.

In Maths, we have been learning about Time. We can tell the time using 12 hour time on an analogue or digital clock. We made posters to show what we already know about Time.

In Numeracy, we have been learning about Place Value. We learned how to put the digits in the correct places to show their value. We can identify the value of a number from looking at its place. We have been improving our mental strategies by taking part in daily Number Talks lessons.

In PE, we have been doing football. We are practising dribbling and shooting. I have enjoyed the shooting practise the best because I love scoring goals. I liked playing the games in PE.

In writing, we have been creating stories about the BFG and learning about how it is important to never judge a book by its cover.

I liked making our Dream Jars. We painted them using water colours and then we let them blend in to create beautiful colours. We then added our goals and dreams for Primary 5.

In French, we have been learning about the days of the week and the months of year.
