Primary 3/4 recently completed a home presentation about their class learning – food and farming. They had to choose which aspect of their learning to focus on and could choose how to present it. We have had models, books, word documents, pictures and labelled diagrams. I am overwhelmed with the effort from the children and the support from their adult helpers. Thank you very much.
Primary 7 have been learning about the properties of light. We have been learning about Issac Newton’s discovery on the colour of light. We used prisms and torches to refract light so we could observe that light is made up of the different colours of the rainbow.
Primary 7 have been learning about different athletic events in PE. Some of our P7 pupils attended the Ayrshire arena to take part in the Sportshall athletics. We managed to place 2nd place against some of the other schools.
We recently had the opportunity to visit The Baird Institute in Cumnock as they were holding an Ancient Egyptian exhibition! As you will be able to tell from our photos we had a super-duper afternoon! We got to share some of our knowledge with visiting experts and even had our questions answered by an expert Egyptologist.
We had a wonderful day at Dumfries House on Friday. As part of our IDL, we visited the farm and the farm animals. We got to touch and feed some farm animals including chickens, ducks and pigs. We also learned about the journey of milk from source to consumer. A highlight was definitely getting to use ingredients to prepare and bake our own cheese and chive scones. We even made our own butter!
