As part of our Extreme Earth topic we have been learning about chemical reactions.
Today we carried out several science experiments using vinegar and baking soda to create volcanic eruptions. We made predictions and tried lots of different combinations and methods to discover which one created the best and biggest reaction.
We had great fun but it sure did stink!!!!
Primary 7 have been thoroughly enjoying their PE transition with Mr Drennan over the past few weeks. They have demonstrated excellent skill and stamina in their weekly challenges, despite being worked very hard, and have returned to class with very rosy cheeks!
Mrs Dunlop and P3 have been running a healthy tuck shop this week. There was a variety of healthy snack available and prices ranged from 30p -50p. The tuck shop will be running for the next few weeks on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Friday 23rd March, history was made in Dalbeattie Primary, within Dalbeattie Learning Campus. Primary 4, under the direction of Mrs Anderson, staged our first dramatic performance in the Primary School Hall. This was the first time, out stage had been opened up to the hall to showcase a play. Primary 4 rose to the occasion. They worked so hard to learn their lines and knew all their parts well. By the end of the show, we had all learned so much more about life in Roman villas and how to build Roman roads. Well done Primary 4 and Mrs Anderson for making history!
Last week P1 had a fun afternoon making junk model dinosaurs with our parents and friends. First of all we sang a song which finished with some audience partcipation and then we got ‘stuck in’ to the enormous pile of junk we collected! Mrs Fitzsimmons and Miss Yousaf were extremely impressed with all our creative models and collaborative work. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the mums, dads, grannies and aunties who came along and supported us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!!
Primary 7C have been busy this term recreating some traditional children’s stories into Scots language. Today P7 developed their presentation skills by sharing their books with the P3s, who were a fantastic audience. Thank you P3 and well done P7C!
Primary 4/5 went on a trip to the Tall Ship in Glasgow. For our first workshop we had to be Marine Archaeologists – finding and identifying artefacts from Titanic.
On the second workshop, we looked at the 12 course menu which was served to First class passengers and created our own versions. We then had to work in groups to set the table for first class guests.
The final part of our trip involved an interesting tour of the ship Glenlee. We had a go at turning the wheel, ringing the bell and scrubbing the deck.
Thank you to the Tall ship staff and to all adult helpers on our trip.
P1 have been learning about healthy eating this term and combined this with their French lessons. We discussed the importance of breakfast and learned lots of food items in French. We have been very keen following the visit of Madam Marolleau who just happened to bring some French fruit marmalade for us! Take a look at all the yummy food we ate!! Of course we had to ask for it in French!
We have worked really hard on the technique of foreshortening- showing depth and distance in a picture. We imagined what it would be like floating around in space with no gravity to keep us on the ground. We think our astronauts are amazing and every single one was unique! What do you think?
P7 have enjoyed taking part in HE transition this term. Here are a few pictures of our latest session – practicing our food hygiene and preparation skills to make some yummy chicken chow mien!
