On Thursday 14th primary 4/5 made a  Piece of   art . They first  got these colours  turquoise, yellow, dark blue, dark green  and  white. These colours helped us make the colour of the water. The next day they got some  paper and it was these  colours light green, dark green, purple and a pinky colour. They folded them into balls and stuck them on and did the same with the middle to make them look like lily pads. Next they  let them dry after they were dry  they put them together to make them look like a pond with lily pads. They also did  another piece of art with chalkpastels.

Then they moved onto Angles they now know there are Reflex Angle, Right  Angle, Obtuse Angle. They have been playing a game on the computers called Alien Angles they play it when they have finished some times. They have been doing some quizzes to test their skills on the white boards and it was quite challenging  for some of  them but they tried their best.

In Writing we did the BBC Radio 2 500 Words Competition. Oliver in P4 got into the next round and he is the first person in Heathhall School to get through!

In Art we are sketching and shading pictures. We have sketched flowers.

In Maths we have completed our Time Tables and Dividing. We also are doing fractions  so we are practising are times tables .

We were using CBBC  Newsround to see what was going around us,  we learnt  about a 15000 year old human  poo, snake was found in it ! Yes human poo. Avengers endgame makes history .

We were also writing imaginative stories  we were writing as if we were in the stories .

Recently P6/7 have been working on writing a report on the bombing of Clyde Bank or Aberdeen. They worked had to make these as realistic as possible.

Recently P4 (and the P4s from P3/4 and the P4s from P4/5) went swimming at the temporary DG One pool. We were separated into 3 groups. We did lots of floats and strokes that were easy and hard. It was great fun.

P4 have been going swimming on Tuesdays Wednesday and Thursdays. They start at 11.00 to 12.00. They get into 3 groups Beginners, Amature and the Amazing group. The pool is 25 meters long. The P4 class goes first and then the P4s out of the P3/4 and P4/5 because p4 is bigger than P4s in P4/5 and out of P3/4 . We had a great time!

P1/2 have been very busy changing up their classroom by improving the home corner and the new imagination station. They have been learning how to tidy up after themselves and not to make a mess after art and playing responsibly in the sand pit, etc.

P1/2 have also been learning money and writing stories.

Here are some photos of them being responsible.

This term we had a student teacher called Miss Moore. With her we have  been doing religious studies. We made movies and we were split and one side of the class did a role play of  bible stories and the other half did the same but did it on a cartoon strip. We also did the 10 Commandments and made up our own. We also made trees and in the center was a value and on the leaves you had to write how you can achieve that value .

We have been reading a book called Millions. We have done lots of activities like drawing our favourite part.

We did angle work with Miss Moore and looked at complementary and supplementary angles.

We also did music with Miss Moore and we had to write a song with a message or meaning to it then we had to get in a group the school library and chose one of our songs and make the song with instruments.

We also did yoga with Miss Moore and we did the tree pose, butterfly pose and the mountain pose.

On the 19th of March Lisa a person from Smoking Matters came in and taught us the dangers of smoking and she got two volunteers to read the labels of chemicals that are in a single cigarette and we learned there are over 4000 thousand chemicals in a single cigarette. Some of those chemicals include formaldehyde, arsenic and tar. Overall it was a very informative day.

We have also been doing debates and the debates that we have been doing are animal testing and if you want college to be compulsory.
