On Thursday 25th November we all arrived at school very early for our class visit to Glasgow Science Centre linked to our recent learning on Space.

After sitting in traffic on the motorway for almost an hour we finally arrived!  We went straight to explore level 1, 2 and 3 of the Science Centre.  It was lots of fun and we got to see and do loads.

Then it was time for lunch before we headed to the IMAX cinema to watch ‘Space: The Final Frontier.’  It was a 3D film and was really cool, but a bit scary when asteroids were flying towards us.

Next we had another 30mins or so to go back onto the Science Centre floors to explore some more.  My favourite was the tilted room – it was really hard to walk in it.

Finally it was time to head home, and thankfully the journey home was much quicker than the journey there.

Have a look at some of the fun things we saw and did.

Primary 4 have been learning some Scottish country dancing during PE.  So far they have been learning the Virginia Reel and the Gay Gordons.  They have danced with enthusiasm and lots of smiles on their faces!

Primary 5 – Term Two Newsletter

Meet our P2 class! We loved our Pirate Day in term 1 and worked hard on our sounds – oi, ie and of course aaaaargh!

Both Primary 4 classes have been working very hard and enjoyed learning all the songs and poems for their Christmas performance at Heathhall Community Centre!  The Friendship group were delighted and thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Parents were also invited along to school to see the performance.  Well done to all the primary fours in P4 and P4/5.

Primary 7 Digital Leaders have been visiting classes to teach children how to code the Micro:bits to play Jingle Bells.

That have loved developed their leadership skills and the younger children have enjoyed learning something new.

On Wednesday 19th November we went to visit the Science Centre as part of our topic on Space. When we arrived we had snack and then we went to the iMax cinema where we watched a film. We had to wear special 3D glasses and we thought it was extraordinary!

We then had a chance to explore the first floor where we tried out lots of optical illusions. It was very exciting.

Then we had a break for lunch.

After lunch we went to the second floor and tried out some activities that tested our memory. It was fantastic.

Finally we visited the third floor where there were lots of activities based around the human body. It was brilliant.

Overall we all really enjoyed our day!

As part of our Space topic, we had to order planets, satellite’s and objects in order of distance from the sun. We first had to calculate each object and it’s distance before placing them in order. This was a hard task and we used many skills to complete the task.

The META skills we used were:

• communication
• adapting
• critical thinking
• focusing
• leading
• collaborating
