In Primary 7C this term we are developing our computer coding skills. For the past two weeks we have been using Tynker to create characters and interactive games using coding blocks. So far we are all really enjoying the challenges and have been learning a lot about perseverance as some of the tasks have required us to problem solve and think very carefully.
Primary 7C have had an absolutely fantastic day today with Dean from Homefront Histories.
We engaged in a huge variety of hands on learning, exploring WW2 artefacts and taking part in pretend air raids. We had the chance to dress up in real WW2 solider uniforms, we learned how to deal with an incendiary bomb and even got to hold some real (disarmed!!) WW2 guns.
Primary 7C would like to say a huge thank you to Dean for such a wonderful day. It is definitely one that we won’t forget!!
To P7C:
Thank you everyone for your lovely manners and excellent behaviour throughout the day. Dean was very impressed with you all. Miss C
Recently, as part of their WW2 topic, Primary 7C were challenged with a homework project to create a model of an Anderson Shelter.
The challenge was to choose a variety of suitable materials to create a model which was accurate in shape, colour and fitted the time period. Children also had to consider the size of their model to ensure that it was in proportion to the other objects they were including in their scene.
I am absolutely delighted with the outstanding effort from all of the children and cannot thank the pupils and parents enough for their effort, help and support with this task.
Primary 5 have been studying the work of Scottish artist Steven Brown and used his McCoo paintings as inspiration to create their own McCoo calendars. Mrs Dyson, Mrs Ross and Mrs Cox were delighted with the artwork. Well done Primary 5!
To kick off our new topic, we looked at the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights ) and used mixed media to create calendars for the new year 2017. They are coming home today with the children.
Both P6B and P6G had a great time at their Christmas party with lots of fantastic dances and fun. Have a look at some of the pictures!
Primary 3 visited Alma House today with Mrs Dunlop and Mrs Fortnum. The children sang songs from the recent performance of ‘ A Timeless Nativity ‘.
A fun time was had by all at our party this afternoon!
P6G had a great time on Friday singing for the Day Centre visitors. We enjoyed performing and then chatting to everyone afterwards. Thank you to the Day Centre for having us and for the lovely treats!!
