Grampy Rabbit got stuck at the top of an Icy Mountain. We needed to help him get back home. We had to design and create a model of a jetpack to help him. Our jet packs needed a control panel, straps and fuel tanks.

“I could make my jetpack better by putting a compass on it. That way you’d know where you are going.” Jensen

“It was fun making a jetpack, The Sellotape was a bit tricky, but Max helped me.” Jude

“I wish I could have made flames coming out of the fuel tanks to make it look more real.” Florence

Primary 1 enjoyed their Christmas party with P1/2. We played lots of games, had a snack and had fun with our friends.

“I won a prize.” Gregor

“I loved playing statues, my favourite was the fairy.” Zoe

Working with a partner we designed, planned, discussed, agreed, measured, weighed, counted, poured, bagged, tied, cut, drew, decorated, assembled then sold our Christmas enterprise goods at our Christmas Craft Fair!

And finally – waiting for our customers!

On Tuesday, 6th February, P5 had a visit from our Young Digital Leaders – Ellie and Evie.  Ellie and Evie came to share with us technology through time as well as share scenarios and how we should react or how we might feel in that situation.  It was very thought-provoking.

We then made a pledge of what to do to inspire change for a safer internet. Some of our pledgeds are …

* Tell an adult if someone says something rude online

* Do not be mean online

* Will not add strangers

* Don’t give out personal information

* Tell an adult if I see inappropriate content online

Primary 5 have been exploring Shape in Maths, using lots of concrete resources and practical learning.

We used the Polydron to create 3D shapes and wrote down their properties on a whiteboard.

We used mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks to create a variety of 3D shapes, and again listed their properties.

We used ‘Tinkercad’ to explore 3D shapes using Digital Technologies.

Primary 7 had great fun learning about the life of Robert Burns.

They researched key events in his life and then used this to write a rap about his life. They then created a backing track using Chrome Music Lab. They recorded and evaluated their performance before rerecording their rap. They then designed a CD cover for their rap.

Great work P7!

As part of our IDL learning on the topic of Vikings, P1/2 have designed, built and tested their Viking Longships.

We reflected on the success (or sinking) of our ships and presented them to our group.

We worked to a design brief and used our problem solving skills to create these amazing vessels!
