Primary 4 worked in groups to research information about Titanic Crew members as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers. They created posters and each group gave a presentation to the rest of the class to share their learning. They all learnt lots from each other! Well done.
Primary 4 were given the challenge of creating a HUGE Titanic wall frieze. They worked in groups on different sections of the boat and background then stuck it all together on the wall themselves! Didn’t they do well?!
Last term Primary 4 created these lovely oil pastel pictures which were inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers in a Vase’.
We scanned the images to make wonderful Mothers Day cards and displayed the originals in our corridor.
We have had lots of kind comments about them so we thought we would share them on the blog too! 🙂
Take a look at this footage of the fence being constructed on site ready for work to commence on our new school. We are very grateful to Dalbeattie High School for supplying us with this. We are aiming to start taking children in classes, in the near future, to view progress at the construction site. Again, we appreciate the High School accommodating us in this way, by using an upper floor classroom to view from, until a viewing platform is available.
We have continued our transport topic in the Nursery this week, amongst other things. Following our transport survey last week, we created pictograms of the results on the interactive whiteboard and used the pictogram to discuss the results – in summary lots of cars but no motorbikes (to the disappointment of quite a few children)! We practised our movement skills outside; weaving in & out of cones, stepping between hoops & balancing on stepping stones. We celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as a favourite character and by creating our own stories; we used a figure, a picture of a place and of a vehicle as stimuli. The children showed great imagination & created some fantastic stories, all of which are now in the children’s PLPs. Mrs Carson brought some frog spawn to Nursery which is now in a tank and is getting a lot of interest; already we have some tadpoles swimming around!! Some of the children were cooking this week; soup is a very popular snack so Mrs McLatchie & her helpers made lentil soup; everyone had snack together and we sat at tables as if we were in a café. We finished off the week by making paper aeroplanes and flying them in the Nursery; with a little bit of practice they were flying very well indeed!
Next week we will begin planning our space topic with the children!
Next week, Primary 5D will be playing the ukulele and singing at the Dumfries and District Music Festival. All pupils have been working hard with Mr and Mrs Butterworth to learn their performance piece. Good luck Primary 5!
