As part of their class learning P4 were following instructions to create a balancing bird. Having created their birds, the pupils had fun exploring where the birds might balance.

P1/2 have been very busy this week. We have had Sara in from RHET to show us how to make bread as part of our previous topic of Scottish food and traditions. We loved having this opportunity of learning to bake the bread, learning about the ingredients and even taking it home to eat. The children enjoyed having the smell of warm freshly baked bread in the classroom. We hope you were able to sample the bread your child brought home.
On Tuesday afternoon we invited all our parents and relatives to come along and have some fun making a junk model dinosaur with us. We started the afternoon with a song, which involved a little audience participation towards the end and then we got going making our models! We had a fantastic time creating our original dinosaurs and Mrs Fitzsimmons was very impressed with all our ideas! Thank you very much to all our parents and relatives for coming along to help us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!!!
P3/4 and P4 have thoroughly enjoyed their technology challenges over the last two weeks. Week 1 involved the children making a car with wheels and week 2 was about creating a drawbridge with moving parts. The children have been working together to follow instructions and build their models and they particularity enjoyed using the saws to saw the wood. They had to measure out different lengths of wood and saw them carefully using the sawing stations in the classroom. The children are delighted with their finished products and we even had a race with the cars int he gym hall. Theo and Firth’s car won the race.
This term P1 have been learning about a healthy diet and so recently we made our own healthy snack! We learned the ‘claw’ and ‘bridge’ technique to chop, slice and shred a selection of vegetables. As you can see we enjoyed creating and eating the final product! Thank you to Mrs Houston from the High School for lending us the aprons and some chopping boards.
