The Seashore and Seaside with Primary 3

June 15, 2013 User deactivated 1 Comment

The children in Primary 3 have been studying the seashore zones and the creatures that are found there. They have also compared the seaside and what happens there and how it looks now to 100 years ago. They were excited to find lots of things that are the same but also the large number of differences.

The children participated in activities covering curricular areas of Science, Technology and Art related to our topic.

The Primary 3’s went on trip to Culzean where they did rock pool and beach art activities.

Then a week later it was off to visit the RNLI at Troon who were super but unfortunately the weather was anything but as the rain came down and the 3s got very wet.

Here come the Vikings

December 19, 2011 User deactivated Leave a comment

Primary 5 and 5/6 were researching the Vikings last term. They painted a Viking scene for the classroom walls, built a Viking Longship, visited Vikingar at Largs, presented in words and music Viking Life and that’s only a small part of their experiences.

The Walls

class p5,p5;6 016 — 6 meters of Viking scene had to be painted on the floor - Wow!

Viking Longships

As enterprising homework the children were given 5 weeks to design and build – with adult help- a Viking Longship. The results were staggeringly good, as I’m sure those of you who were in school for parent’s evening will agree.

These pictures are just a small sample:

Vikingar the experience

If you are interested in Vikings then a trip to Vikingar in Largs is a must. The children split into 2 groups and while one was visiting the Longhouse and Halls of Valhalla the rest were meeting a Viking and dressing up as the poor and rich of the time.

SL274252 — Take care that sword might be sharp!!

New Viking Warriors

They wore animal furs to keep warm.

Walls were decorated with carvings of the Gods All dressed up! Gorgeous! Is that shield not a bit too big!!!!

This monument marks the site of the Viking Battle of Larg which took place in 1263.

Our Solar System – P6 & P5/6

December 2, 2011 User deactivated Leave a comment

This term Primary 6 and 5/6 have been studying our Solar System and Space exploration. To get them of to a flying start they visited the Science Centre where they investigated the experiments, watched an enthralling film about the Hubble Space Telescope and were given an insight into what is in our night sky.

The Challenge

The pupils were then set a Space Challenge as Enterprising Homework. Along with an adult helper they had to design and make a Mars Rover…… all in 4 weeks.

These are just some of the wonderful rovers the children made.

Experiment Day

The two classes had a day of space experiments to help them understand the difficulty of working in space. They wore work goggles, very thick gloves at most experiments while at a few they wore work coveralls as well as standing on swivel boards. Good fun was had by all and a much better understanding was gained of the problems faced by astronauts working in the vacuum of space
