Our Week in P6

Written by: Ayaan, Gene & Rory

In P6 we have been going to swimming lessons at James Gillespie’s High School.

In maths, we have been learning about angles and compass points.

We have been focusing on Bible stories and doing worksheets on the stories to test our knowledge in R.M.E. We made monkey masks for Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light.

In German we have been learning the alphabet and playing games to help us memorise the letters.

On Monday we had a taster of American football and we learnt how to catch an American football correctly. 

Our Week in P3/4

Written by: Jordan

In P3/4 we have been learning about electricity and we made models which contained working circuits. We first got loads of boxes and stuck them together and then added our light bulb circuits. Next we covered the boxes in pieces of newspaper by dipping the paper in glue and sticking it on. Then we put a coating of white paint over the paper and we waited for it to dry. After a few days, the last step was to paint over the white paint. We haven’t quite finished yet but we still got a lot done because Mrs Denvir helped. It was really fun.

Our Week in P4

Written by: Finlay

Last Friday we had a Halloween party at school, organised by our PTA. It was so much fun and we played lots of different games.

Now we are busy doing things for the Christmas Fair as part of our enterprise topic! It is very fun but we need to keep it a secret just now. Watch this space for further clues as the Fair date approaches – Friday 7th December.

 

Welcome to P4

Hello and welcome to the P4 blog page. I hope to be able to keep you up to date with all the exciting things we have planned for the year. I will also make sure that I tweet what’s happening in class. Please look out for these on our Roseburn page.

Our Week in P3

Written by: Charlize  & Olivia

In P3 we found a dragon egg! We had to write instructions of how to hatch it. This is how it started:

“Have you discovered a glittery dragon egg in your garden? If so do not despair, help is at hand!”

We looked after it and it hatched in our teacher’s house. It is in our classroom right now.

Our Week in P1/2

Written by: Cillian & Max L

In P1/2 we made bread because we’re learning the story of the Little Red Hen. We had to knead for a very long time and it was quite tiring. At the end of the day we got to take home our bread rolls.

We have been practising telling the story using lots of actions and we have drawn a story map to help us remember the order in which things happen.

Our Week in P2

P2 have been painting dots this week for art. In the first lesson, with Miss Mitchell,  we did drawings starting with a tiny dot. The next lesson we painted different types of dots and mixed paint up to make different dots and new colours. In the last lesson we used cotton buds and we made little dots of fireworks. It was really fun. 

Welcome to P1/2

Welcome to Primary 1/2!

We have already enjoyed a full term as a new class, getting to know each other and welcoming our brand new P1s into Roseburn. We are looking forward to a very busy term ahead with lots to learn and some exciting events on the horizon, including welcoming parents and carers for our Sharing Assembly (23/11/18) and the Nativity (14/12/18).

A reminder that we have:

  • PE  on Tuesday and Friday at 10:45
  • Library on Wednesday at 13:00

As always, if you have any queries or would like to discuss your child’s learning then please get in touch. I look forward to meeting with you all on 14th or 16th November at the upcoming Parent Consultations.

Many thanks,

Kelly Thirgood

Our Week in P1

Written by: Finn & Zara

In Art, P1 have produced black pen line drawings of haunted houses and of the characters Meg and Mog. We have been reading and watching  Meg and Mog stories. We all liked the book and we now know that Meg is the witch and Mog is the cat.

Last Friday, P1 and P2 had a Hallowe’en party at school. We got to come to school dressed in spooky costumes. We made spiders from cards and straws and we got to put our hands in a cauldron full of jelly to find some Hallowe’en  treats. We finished the party with everyone together in the hall doing the Time Warp.

Our week in P7P

Written by: Elliot & Matthew

Recently in P7P we have been learning about poems and WW2. We have been looking at the poem Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen. First we were going through the stanzas to figure out what each line meant. After that we used our prior knowledge to do a drama interpreting the poem.
