This week’s Blogging Team

This week we have been working on our times tables.  We have been working on our 2,3,4,5 and 10 some are now on to their 6 too! We play fun games to help us.

In topic we have been learning about the Victorians.  We found out about the rich and poor and the food that they ate.  We can’t wait to find out more.

With Mr Parkhouse we drew some Belted Galloway cows ready for printing next week.

We have been talking about being Responsible Citizens, for example looking after the little ones, caring for our environment and keeping personal information safe on the internet.

Farrah Hunter in P4 shared her artistic talents with us this week.  She chose to research a famous artist and research facts about him.  A fantastic piece of homework and a lovely decoration for our school corridor! Well done Farrah.

P2 have been learning about the body,  our skeleton and major organs and last week we looked at some of the different ways  we can look after our bodies.
The children had great fun figuring out where each piece of food should go  on our giant eat well plate and we had some excellent discussions about how we can aim for a balanced diet. 

• P2 enjoyed an excellent visit to Georgetown Library last week on ‘World Read Aloud Day’. The children have been reading aloud to the Everywhere Bear, so they decided to bring him along too for a wee treat!
  Eileen gave the children a tour of the Non – Fiction, and Fiction areas of the library, and she was most impressed when Calvin told her the difference between the two types of book.  Bella was challenged with finding a novel in the Fiction part of the library, and she found out the the books are filed alphabetically by the author’s surname.
  The children also met the resident dragon and they wondered if he was related to the dragon that visited our classroom? 🐉

On Wednesday Primary 4 went to St Joseph’s and worked collaboratively to produce a fantastic collage of the Monet  Water Lillies painting.  Erin Dear in S6 planned a wonderful range of group activities along with her Art teacher Mr Davolls.  Erin helps in our classes for work experience and is applying to become a Primary Teacher.  We wish her every success. P4 thoroughly enjoyed working in the Art Department and a  group will go back next week to finish the Balsa wood bridge.

1. P2 have had excellent fun learning more about gymnastics and challenging themselves on the apparatus. They have become experts and making different gymnastic “shapes” – the T shape, the L shape, the bridge, the tuck and the pike, to name but a few!
   The children were very responsible when trying out the different apparatus, and they tried their very best to land with both feet together and knees bent, just like a real gymnast! We have been reading about Nadia Comaneci who achieved a perfect 10, there were a few children who were inspired by her! 🤸‍♀️ 🤸‍♂️ 😂😂
