Primary 7s have been planning on their Christmas ceilidh they had to go in groups and make a name and logo.  Next time when p7s get to plan the ceilidh they get to make their  own menu and get a budget .

 Pimary 6s went skiing at Fir park  they done a pizza shape then they got to go to the green line. Next week they are going to be going up the slope and the helicopter will be bringing them up half way. 

We  have been learning lots of different things and we have been putting targets in our learning logs one of our targets is: I can use a dictionary to find the meaning and spelling of words.  Mr McLaren showed us where to find the targets we were learning in the Experiences and Outcomes, and we will be learning more of  this through the term.

At music we are doing a guitar project. we got into separate groups and made a logo and a name on the logo. When we are finished we will sound like this guitar.

Hi. This week we have been doing lots of fun things in the computer suite and in class. We have been using websites like: Anymaking , Voki and Prezi. Anymaking is a website that you can make pictures fancy on for example you can give rounded corners and a reflections. Here are some pictures that were taken out of our classroom window. 

Voki is a website that you can make your own taking character. We hope you like the one on our blog. Everyone  thought making vokis were fun and everyone would love to do it again.

We had our first shot at prezi it was really fun and we hope you like the one on our blog. It is just quick one and we have only just learned how to do it. It is a website that you can make your own presentations on. It is really cool and everyone enjoyed it.

Learning new stuff, Trips

From Farm to Fork.

13 Comments

Wednesday. We went to From Farm to Fork. It is not a animal farm it is just a growing food farm. It was great fun,we got split into two groups, P7s and the other group was P6s. P7s first activity was making pizza. It was a vegetarian pizza. We first made the dough, then then you put the Tomato sauce over it. Then we put as much cheese over it as we wanted. Then we put the other ingredients like peppers, tomatoes, pineapple and sweetcorn. P6s first activity was going a small trip  around the farm. We saw where they plant the potatoes. They have wildlife space beside the potatoes. Did you know.  They are  Britain’s largest farmer so they have stores all over the country, so they  have a responsibility to the people who eat there  food :).  By that time we had to go back to get the others. By the time we got back it was time to swap over.At the end they gave us 2 books, one was all about where your food comes from. The other one was a a-z of food and farming facts. Looking forward to posting again. 😀

Primary 7 away to Ardeonaig!

1 Comment

This week will be very interesting. Our Primary 7 pupils have gone off to Ardeonaig for a residential experience and we are left behind. Today we are learning to use hyperlinks in our blogs and we think we will find this pretty useful. Mr McLaren showed us Purplemash and we had time to have a wee shot of 2Animate. Tomorrow we will spend all day in the computer suite using websites like Kerpoof and Zooburst as well as Glow!

Learning to make headers

4 Comments

Today we have learned how to make headers for our blogs. We had to go on lots of different websites like Lego minimizer and we also used Powerpoint. One thing we had to do was change the colour and the font. On the Lego minizer we had to make our own characters everyone enjoyed it. There was a variety of things to choose like Spiderman,Superman,Stormtrooper and others. Other children in our class helped other pupils on the glow website.
