Child-led play😊 Role playing teacher and students, practising our spelling sounds!

Today’s autumn provocations. We enjoyed using our senses to try out broccoli art and used our new knowledge of adjectives to describe an autumn picture! 🍁🍂

Enjoyed visiting P6 today to deliver buddy training. We are all set to start our nursery visits and get to know our future buddies. From the discussion today, we are going to be the most amazing role models. #antop1transition

In Leading the Learning this week, we were inspired by the artist Banksy. We tried some of his coloured rain art and discussed why he is a secret artist! How cool. Who IS Banksy? #banksy

Well done to the top three players in last month’s @ttrockstars.bsky.social class battle of the bands! #antonumeracy #hardworkpaysoff 👫🎸🙌✖️🙌🎸👫

Great fun at our Technology group for Leading the Learning today! We loved participating in a build challenge with our P2 friends. We had to use trial and error and then test our creations to see if they met our criteria. Great job everyone! @antomissdouglas.bsky.social

Here are our exploding rockets flying during STEM leading the learning today.

Lots of laughs today as we revised some French vocabulary by using finger puppets! We are looking forward to some DHS pupils and staff helping with our French next term 🇫🇷

We were VERY excited last week when a treasure map was delivered to our class! 🗺️😆 We were even more excited when we followed it & found some hidden treasure! 💎💎 #antoliteracy #fiction #RagsToRiches #Talk4WritingHook @piecorbett.bsky.social

The STEM Ambassadors from Denny High visited our class on Friday. We were learning about what plants need to grow and planted our own seeds. #antoSTEM

We practised the 6 common words we already know and then enjoyed trying some of our new Rainbow Play tasks. Ask us about this at home! In the afternoon, we tried lots of different harvest fruits and vegetables and could talk about how they tasted and how they were picked or harvested.

We have been exploring friendships & how we can be a good friend. After discussing traits we look for in a friend, we listed the six main characteristics important to us. Ask us about this at home. #antohandwb #antoliteracy 👫🤩👫

Today we read the final chapter of Kensuke’s Kingdom 🥹 this has been a popular book with Primary 7 so we continued our learning by researching life in Japan 🇯🇵

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our coffee morning today and helped raise £1440 for MacMillan. Also thank you to everyone who donated raffles/cakes and helped at the event, we really appreciate your support.

We were learning about the mathematician Ada Lovelace and how she was the first computer programmer. After we drew a maze then tried to code the Sphero to move around it. #antonumeracy

After learning about tessellation, we created our own tiling patterns using 2D shapes. 🟦🔺🔻 🟦 This afternoon, we explored the life of William Wallace & used our knowledge of tessellation to add detail to our sketches of Wallace’s Monument! @mathsweek.scot #antonumeracy #antoexpressivearts #antoIDL 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This morning, we took part in @mathsweek.scot live lesson with author Thomas Bernard. We even got a few shout outs with the super answers we were giving! #antonumeracy #antoliteracy 👫🙌🤩🙌👫

We used shape frames to help us identify 2D shapes in our environment today during Forest Thursday. We also enjoyed drawing 2D shapes with chalk. We turned these into all kinds of interesting pictures, adding details and discussing the shapes as we drew. Fabulous work! @mathsweek.scot

Lots of creativity in Primary 7 today as we turned 3D nets into superhero gadgets! Well done P7 🦹‍♂️🦸

Today we were set the challenge of setting up our own cafe at Paulton’s Park 🎢 we created a menu, researched how much items would cost to make, created a price list ensuring we would make a profit then visited other cafes and made our orders! 💰

After our visit from Valerie the cow last week, we were learning about the price of milk in the supermarkets. We used our money skills to work out the supermarkets profit in milk. #antonumeracy

We loved the Numberblobs today to count using our 10 frames. We also practised ordering numbers to 10 and made some numicon books for @mathsweek.scot.

#MathsWeekScotland Today we recapped our Number Bonds. We became Super Heroes with numbers, danced to Soda Pop and found the partner to make a Number Bond! We challenged ourselves to meet a new partner each time! 🦸🦸‍♂️

Learners confidently leading today’s assembly, discussing their superhero learning powers and raising awareness of Dyslexia. We can’t wait to see everyone wearing their blue ribbons next week. #antopupilvoice

Primary 1 and 7 buddies engaging in super maths week together today. #antosupermathsweek

Autumn animals are a topic of conversation within our playroom today. In the art area children have been making their own hedgehogs. Great awareness of shape, size and colour through being creative 🥰

Check our hedgehogs! We collected these leaves at our last Forest Thursday and used them today to create our autumn hedgehogs. We are learning about the 4 seasons and what might grow or change in each season. We noticed how all the leaves, trees and weather changes!

As promised, here’s some of our artwork: Hodgeheg sketches 🦔 Talk for Writing Beanstalks 🎋 Robert the Bruce 3D spider art 🕸️ #antoexpressivearts #antoliteracy #antoIDL 🎨👫🙌👫🎨

🔬👩‍🔬 From learners to leaders! Some former pupils were amongst Denny High visitors who inspired Primary 2 with STEM last week. Children’s rights = opportunities to learn, lead & dream big. #UNCRC

Its @mathsweek.scot this week. We played lots of class subitising and counting games today whilst also learning about the number 9. We enjoyed the subitising puzzles 😊

Today was the start of Math’s Week Scotland! Our lesson today was about this sequence- 0,1,1,2,3,5,8… ask us what comes next! 🤔

Using clues from the text, we created a triorama of what we thought the inside of Kensuke’s Cave would have looked like! 🖌️

In class today we found out how the world had changed during the 40 years Kensuke’s had been stranded on the island! We compared what life was like in the 1940s and 1980s- the music from the 80s was a clear favourite for Primary 7! 🎶

Super focus and concentration on our m sound work and art task today - fork painting hedgehogs! We have been learning more about animals and their habitats as well as what happens when habitats are not looked after properly. 🦔🍂🍁
