How energetic we were! Today we enjoyed basketball, parachute games, gaelic football, dancing, walking, hockey, table tennis and football.

We all enjoyed a visit to Menzieshill library last week to exchange our books. Please remember you may return your book at anytime, just give your name and class.

When we were in the ICT suite, we enjoyed playing these games to reinforce class learning, and saved them as favourites so we could find them easily again.

Here are the addresses, so you can play them at home if you would like to:

We had fun seeing which material would make a good strong seat for Ronnie. Some materials were ok , but not so good when Ronnie had his heavy shopping with him!

We discovered that some materials have tiny holes in them when seen through the magnifying glass. These materials weren’t very strong.

We tried to watch the dvd clip where Dr Brain also tries a similar experiment but it wouldn’t work in class; so if you’d like to enjoy it at home, just click on the link.http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/clips/zxj9tyc

Today in ICT we practised more class learning through games. We are getting very good at logging on quickly and saving games as favourites so we can play them again and again.

Here are some of the games if you would like to play them at home:

Remember, you can also record personal achievements in your Story of Success folder.

Learning about money is so much fun!

Budding Paul Lawries?

Having practised putting skills in the gym hall , we took the golfing equipment outside today. It was a lot trickier on the uneven surface, but we persevered with good results!

Well done p3!!

What fun we had trying out the new scooters!

Look how carefully we are concentrating on keeping to one side of the dotted lines!

We enjoyed finding a suitable material for an umbrella. We dropped water onto  a variety of materials and discovered which ones were waterproof. The shower curtain material was surprising as although it was showerproof, water did eventually come through this. Plastic and tin foil were the most waterproof materials. Thick denim was also quite waterproof, but many of us had tales to tell about when our jeans had got soaked on a rainy day!

At the end of the lesson, we tested Mrs Taylor’s umbrella and Alice stayed nice and dry. Miss Douglas was out with her class and she also had an umbrella with her. As it was made of a different material we asked to borrow it and Kayleigh can vouch for the fact that it kept her dry!
