Primary 4-5 Term 4 Newsletter

In primary 7 we have been practising for a show, the show was going to be shown to the school and parents of the primary 7 pupils on May the 14th-15th. We all worked very hard to make the show perfect for whatever audience we had, which meant working as a team and showing responsibility when listening to what everyone was saying on the stage. This took about a month to organise and for everyone to learn their words. It also took a very long time to make all the props and costumes for the show. Each group of characters had different coloured  shirts to show

Primary 3/4 reviewed the show and most of the children thought that it was a really good show .

Everyone enjoyed making the show and liked watching it.

Here are some pictures of us performing the show to our parents and school.

On the 7th and the 14th of May p7 went to the High School for half a day doing science. We were split up into three different groups and on the first week group two and one did fingerprinting while group three made bread dough and yogurt and learned about micro-organisms. In fingerprinting we learned about how everyone has unique fingerprints and they can be used to identify people. We learned how to make a picture of your fingerprint. To make a picture of your fingerprint you had to shade in the corner of a post it note very darkly and then rub your finger on the shaded in part then you got a piece of cellotape and you had to put your finger print on the cellotape and roll it over.

When making the bread dough you got flour, sugar and yeast then you had to put a couple of spoonfuls of each into your container then add some water then stir. After awhile the stuff started to look like a liquid dough and then we were done with bread. After that we were going to make some yogurt and we got a Bunsen burner, tripod and a heat mat because you had to heat the milk you got to eighty degrees Celsius then you had to let it cool to 50 degrees Celsius then you add the cream mix and you wait.

Both the activities were really fun and everyone enjoyed it.

In P3/4 they have recently been focusing on Egyptians with Miss Fergusson. Some of the activities they did were they made name plaques, they baked Egyptian flatbread and finally they made Egyptian cartouche! The baking they did linked with their literacy focus for term 3 which was instructional writing! They also made pyramid silhouettes in art!

P1 have planted sunflowers and have been writing reports on them.
