p47 – Logie Durno Primary School

Some excellent programming

One of our P4-7 pupils used what he has learned in ICT to code his own computer game using the programming language Scratch.

I’m (Mr Webster) really proud of his initiative and eagerness to use the skills he has learned at school.

You can play his game by clicking here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/151955983/#player

Even better you can use his game to create your own. All you need to do is:

Click the orange Remix button to edit the code and create your own masterpiece.

Make sure you share your creations in the comments!

Last week we enjoyed a great school trip to local fruit farm Barra Berries. We toured the poly-tunnels and learned how the different varieties of fruit are grown. We can’t wait to get growing in our school garden!

Open Evening

Last week we had M.A.D groups. The red house were planting some potatoes.

We were doing fractions in maths. The P4s were ordering fractions.

Some of the P7s were adding and subtracting fractions.

One of our other M.A.D groups were making short videos using Puppet Pals 2.

THIS WEEK 16-20 January 2017

This week we tuned into the BBC 500 Words live lesson.

We learned things about writing a story, including setting, character and plot.

In our assembly on Friday we were speaking about RESPECT and EFFORT and how to present our work.

Green Screen

One of our priorities at Logie Durno is to make best use of technology in order to improve learning and teaching.

As part of our work on the Victorian era P4-7 have been learning about the plight of children who were forced to work. Here is the class using a home made green screen to script and film news bulletins. In this way they were able to demonstrate what they had learned in an engaging and creative way.

Roald Dahl Day 2016

We had a fantastic time celebrating the life and work of Roald Dahl. We had a special assembly, read from his stories and books, and created some themed artwork. The Primary 4-7 class also brought in their favourite Roald Dahl books and read them to P1-3.

In keeping with best practice guidelines we would respectfully ask you not to share our photographs on your own Facebook page or any other social media channels.

Well done!

At assembly today three boys earned certificates. We awarded them for being confident in maths, an enthusiastic leaner and for inventing a creative maths games.

All of P4-7 earned a class certificate for the way they have looked after the younger members of school.

Well done everyone!
