Primary 5 have been working hard and learning about The Vikings this term. They have recently completed projects on the topic. These projects were researched and completed at home, and then the children brought them in and presented them to the rest of the class, sharing what they had learned.

The children chose different areas of the topic to look into, from the weapons they used, to the food they ate and everything in between! They also chose how they wanted to carry out the project. Some got creative, making posters and models; others were working on their ICT skills making PowerPoint presentations. We even had children who did a combination of ideas!

We then invited our families in to look at all of the projects together. This was a great chance for the children to show off their projects, and for mums, dads and family members to come and see what other people in our class had been creating and ask them questions about their projects too.

The children have worked so hard, researching, creating and presenting their projects. We hope that our families enjoyed looking at them too!

      

            

       

     

      

     

             

    

            

             

             

             

     

 

P4 had a super afternoon sharing their learning with mums, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles on Tuesday.

Zac and Daniel made a Powerpoint to show about the use of magnetics in trains. Whilst other boys and girls worked well designing magnetic games for their parents to play.  Some of our visitors were shocked to see us drawing tracks for cars on or tables with fun chalk pens! It was great to see Sion and Milli incorporating maths times tables questions into the scoring too!

To learn about Non-fiction some of us were in the library trying to complete a Scavenger hunt, whilst in the hall some groups taught The Flying Scotsman to the adults.  Well done all those who joined in with the fun.

We showed off our new Green Screen skills with our News Presentations from Stirling Castle and the Newsroom! Not to mention singing in French and trying some K-Nex challenges.

We hope our mums and dads had as much fun as we did learning and playing together.

 

This week saw the start of our next 4 week job club block.  The children met at the school bright and early on Tuesday morning and headed down to the Dock Park for circuits and some relays.  We hope to build up our stamina over the weeks and increase our continued jogging time.  Our couch Angela was impressed with how well we did in week 1, a lot of the boys and girls showed the jogging skills they have built up from attending the local Park Run at the weekends.

For the first week we were lucky with the weather so fingers crossed for 3 more weeks of the same!
