Top job from 2 of my boys today - I wonder if @radioleary thinks so too..?! 🐈‍⬛🥷🏼

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

2 of our P6F learners who absolutely love Dermot O’Leary’s ‘Toto the Ninja Cat’ novels recreated the covers and blurbs for our bunting activity to celebrate @BookWeekScot What do you think @radioleary ?! 🐈‍⬛ 🥷🏼

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

We had a pal for our writing this morning - not sure who was more excited, the kids or me 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️!
More work on character development and our storyline approach for this term’s writing ✍🏼

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

Good buzz around the classroom this morning 👌🏼❤️ Next up we will develop our own characters and use a storyline approach for our writing and topic.

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

To kick off our narrative writing block, P67W took notes on a character description in this novel by @magicgareth. We then developed the character using the notes we took and illustrated them! Great start to our narrative writing journey so far! ⭐️

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

Nice work today from this lot ⭐️👌🏼 next week we will learn how to rearrange the formula to calculate speed and time.

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

It may have been baltic, but it didn’t stop P67W heading out for their maths today. We were using d=st to calculate distances, then measured it out in the playground. Fab teamwork 👌🏼

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

@MrsF_MrsS_RPS @RoslinPS Ooh looks cool! What website are you using?

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

A fab activity and looking forward to the children using their STEM, problem solving and 3D shape skills to produce a building that would withstand an earthquake and a tsunami!

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

Demonstrating how waves can be generated from the abrupt movement of tectonic plates under the sea, causing a tsunami. Check back in as we design buildings to withstand an earthquake as part of our Japan topic 🇯🇵

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

Have had the best couple of days with @LindseyPate23 and P4F learning about and cooking Japanese food! Lovely to sit together as a class and have a meal completely prepped and cooked by the children 👌🏼🧑🏼‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F cooked up an absolute storm this week! We have been learning about the Eatwell plate and then researching Japanese food. So we chopped, sliced and diced lots of yummy vegetables yesterday and cooked them in to a delicious Teriyaki Noodle dish today. 👇🏼

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

Putting some Microbits training in to action today with P4F, brilliant effort and super learning all round!

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F had a go at creating code for our Microbits today! They all successfully made a flashing heart loop, then had some free time to explore the program and create their own set of instructions. Big thanks to our P3/4 helpers for their support too! @MidDigiLearn @microbit_edu

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

Very proud Auntie here 🥹❤️

[Loanhead PS @LoanheadPS]

We just love this P2 animated story using ScratchJr, what great use of skills. Well done Blair! @MidDigiLearn

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

We’d rather be in the classroom, with our children, teaching, inspiring, challenging, playing, learning, creating, making a difference and doing the job we all love doing. However here we are. #insolidarity #payattent10n @EISUnion

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

A great afternoon spent with @DanBastianelli 📚🪄🎩

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F absolutely loved meeting local magician and author, @DanBastianelli today after reading his first novel ‘Mission Magician’. He brought in the next book in his series for us, did a Q and A session and even taught us some magic! Brilliant to have you visit - Thanks Dan!

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

@GorebridgePS Looks great P5M!!

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

You seen this @TomFletcher 👀? We’re also looking forward to your new book, Space Band coming out 🪐💫 !

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F have been LOVING our new class novel - The Creakers by @TomFletcher! So much so, our writing has been very much inspired by the characters and story line of the novel. Here we are describing what we would do for the day at school if our teachers were stolen by Creakers.

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

🌈 What better way for P4F to have a brain break than to run outside and see the rainbow and back again. How lovely is this photo 😊 ?!

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

Very busy start of P4 but this has to be my favourite activity so far! Bit of maths, technologies, art, problem solving and digital learning all rolled in to one - it’s not just topic! 🧠💪🏼

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F have started their topic for this term which is castles! We looked at different parts if a castle and gave it a go at designing our own! Firstly we used shapes to create a castle on paper then transferred our designs to our Chromebooks, layering shapes on Jamboard 💻

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F progressing our balancing skills to concentrating on bouncing balls. A mixture of wonderful successes! Some excellent balancing, some confident bouncing and lots and lots of growth mindset 🧠💪🏼

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

P4F have been learning that feedback from your friends can help make your brain stronger 🧠💪🏼 we used Austin’s Butterfly as an example where we had to draw a butterfly and give critical feedback to our partner. Using this feedback we redrafted our first drawing!

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

What an amazing donation! Our P3s are going to love growing these strawberries, tomatoes and herbs! 🍅🍓🌱

[Gorebridge Primary @GorebridgePS]

Facilitated by one of our fabulous Gorebridge families, Miss Forgan was excited to pick up a very generous donation from @HarbroLtd - Dalkeith today. P3’s are learning about food and sustainability, so this is going to allow for many great learning opportunities. Huge thanks 🙌🏼

[Cassandra Forgan @MissForgan]

@GirlchampJinty @CHScotland @CHSJenSmith @StephTStevenson @OHOV_Scotland Thank you for all of these lovely comments - so glad these cupcakes were enjoyed so much!!! X
