Have you heard that it is Scottish Book Week, this week 14th – 18th November? We have organised loads of fun reading activities for you to do in class, at home and around school. Watch this space for the Book competitions, Book Bugs, First Minister’s Reading Challenge, stories read by familiar faces and if you haven’t already seen it our reading homework grid, created by Ms Brunner, that has something for everyone to try.
Let’s get everyone reading in the Royal Mile Primary! You can even bring your favourite book to school to share and read. Watch your blog for any reading updates!!
Primary 5 would like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought their baking on Friday. We raised £36.47 after £10 went towards the ingredients. Here is the great baking and sales team from P5. Well done!
Primary 5 will be holding their Bake Sale on Friday 11th November at break time. We will have healthy snacks, apple crisps and chocolate strawberries. Bring 50p for some delicious treats!
Here is the finished display showing our work surrounding the artist Yayoi Kusama.
Properties of 3D shapes
We’ve mastered the names and the 2D shapes we can see in the faces – now we are finding our the properties of each shape. Can it stack? Can it slide? Can it roll?
Below: sorting shapes into ones that can stack, and ones that cannot. Having fun creating towers like Inch and Grub!
Katie has also collaborated with designer Maeve Redmond to produce a tactile resource which asks: how many textures can you create using paper?
Below are our investigations. This was an excellent activity to promote and develop adjective vocabulary.
Parent open morning
A big thank you to the parents who were able to visit on Friday morning. We loved sharing our space with you!
Bonfire Play
In honour of bonfire night, Primary 1 were challenged to collaboratively build a bonfire then make a ‘seat’ to sit around it. Staff rewarded the class with a mug of hot chocolate and a biscuit for all their hard work so far this year!
Book Box
Our Book Box library is starting to look a bit sparse… Please remember to return your books, thank you!
New Staff
