With all the Primary 6’s away to Lockerbie Manor, Primary 6/7 welcomed 3 primary 5 pupils for 3 days. We have been working on designing a theme park in groups of 4.

We were given a budget of £5 million. We had £4 million to design and build the theme park, keeping £1 million back for start up costs.

We were given a design brief and building a budget sheet to keep a tally of how many of each type of ride we have.

We will upload photographs of our theme park when they are finished. In the meantime, here are some pictures of us working co-operatively in our groups.

Primary 3 love learning outside and with the better weather arriving, we have been making the most of it!

We have learning all about the signs of Spring and we were very interested to learn that lots of birds build their nests in Spring.  Here we are using natural resources to try and build our own birds nests, it definitely isn’t as easy as it looks!

Our new topic for term 4 is ‘Plants’.  We have been busy learning what plants need to grow and how important they are for our environment.

We have been digging over one of the school planters to prepare it for some wildflower seeds.  We hope this will encourage bees and butterflies into our school garden.

We have also planted our own sunflower seeds, we can’t wait to see them grow!

Here we are in the Sensory Garden, we were sketching different plants that we could see.

This term for Skills Academy we are learning all about creativity.

The first week we went outside to work as the weather was so nice.

We learned all about how to be successful at miming and we learned how to mime different jobs.

We talked about different skills in drama and how it was important to use different facial expressions.  We also worked on moving in different ways.

I enjoyed miming with my partner in the circle. – Fin

I enjoyed miming different animal movements. – Ollie

I enjoyed it when people had to guess what I was doing. – Gordon

We went out into the playground to look for rectangular shapes. We had to measure the length and the width so we could calculate the area. We used meter sticks to do this and we worked in groups. We also used trundle wheels.

We were also given walkie talkies so we could go off and work in groups.

I learned how to measure an area successfully – Seth.

I learned how to use a trundle wheel – Poppy.

I worked well with my partners – Jayden.
