Coding in Primary 6
Primary 6 has been learning to code using the website www.code.org. We created characters and dance moves.
P3/4 Outdoor Learning- Measuring length
Primary 3/4 pupils applied their measuring skills during Outdoor Learning tasks linked to our IDL theme – Earth, Sun and Moon. Pupils used trundle wheels to mark distances when making their scale model of the Earth and Sun. They measured accurately with metre sticks to record the length of their shadows when making their own human sundials.
P3/4 Visits
We have enjoyed visits to our local library and our local forest. Briony from Sustrans led outdoor learning tasks in the forest, where pupils spotted signs of Autumn and looked at leaf classification.
P3/4 Creating Magnetic Maze Games
Primary 3/4 applied their knowledge and skills to create their own magnetic maze games as part of Skills Academy. Pupils planned, designed, created, evaluated and improved their games as needed. Pupils demonstrated great communication skills, collaborative working, problem-solving and creativity. Well done everyone! Younger pupils enjoyed playing a selection of our magnetic maze games, commenting on how much fun they were!
P3/4 Skills Academy – Exploring Magnetism
As part of their work on Forces during Skills Academy, Primary 3/4 explored magnetism and carried out their own investigations.
P2/3 Newsletter term 2
P3/4 Skills Academy – Forces and Friction
Primary 3/4 investigated Forces and Friction as part of Skills Academy last term. They explored pushes and pulls, carried out an investigation about how the incline of a ramp affects speed and distance and also learned about friction while carrying out their own investigation into how different surfaces affect the speed of a toy car. Great investigating everyone!
