We were outside in the school garden today to see how many colours we could find. Then we took bits of the colour and put them on our sticky tape to remind us of all the colours in the school grounds. Then we did six sketches of what we saw, we had to make the pictures either close up or far away. We are going to use all this information to make watercolour pictures in our classroom. 😀
We have been harvesting apples from our school garden and bringing them back to eat them. They tasted really juicy and really tasty. We also had plums to eat from our plum tree.Although there wasn’t many they tasted good.
Primary 7 have been writing talks for homework for the last two weeks – they had to be on different kinds of sea animals. We had to use notes, speak loudly and clearly, include facts, have good eye contact with the audience and use visual aids. Sabine’s really stood out because she had really good visual aids, she involved the audience by having activities for them to do and she used loads of expression! Well done Sabine – best so far! 😀
We went to the Carnoustie beach because we have been learning about the rocky shore in class. The first thing that we did was we looked in the rock pools to see what animals we could find. We found starfish, crabs, one fish (a blenny) and more like perriwinkles, barnacles, limpets and even hermit crabs! It was fun to go onto the beach and find lots of different animals that we had been learning about in class.
We also walked up the strandline to see what we could find under the seaweed. Andrew F found some Whelk egg cases and Rhianne found a bird chest bone. (Andrew S found a bag handle!?!). We also did a scavenger hunt, some environmental art (like Andy Goldsworthy) and in the afternoon we did a house competition, where we had to make sand sculptures.
Each week we are making up mindmaps to show our learning for the week. We have been trying to make mindmaps up like Tony Buzan, who is a bit of an expert. You can find out more about him at www.thinkbuzan.com! This is an example of a mindmap.
It was the primary 1’s first full day today and it was a bit scary for them. We helped them with their lunch in the dinner hall. We hope the will not be scared and have a good year in P1.
Mr Campbell has hurt his leg and had to go to hospital so we had Mrs Connor and Mrs Smith today. We hope he gets better.
At assembly because it is Roald Dahl month we did a quiz with the house captains. The questions were quite easy but some of them made you think. Rowan won with 45 points then Beech with 30 then Oak with 15 then Ash with 5. It is Roald Dahls birthday tomorrow.
Today we finished our persuasive writing on the Scottish Beaver Reintroduction, which was a news story that appeared on Glow. Here’s Ben’s.
Today P7 had gym and we did handball. It was really fun and we enjoyed doing it. We were in teams and had a mini competition. There was 5 teams all together and we all worked hard together to score goals!
