Glasgow Science Centre
Primary had a great time exploring the malls of the Science centre investigating forces, optical illusions, engineering and finding out about how the body works. They also participated in a workshop all about senses.
Tree Planting-Eco Committee
Members of the Eco Committee and the Pupil Council were involved in planting 8 trees to place in the garden and around the school grounds.
How do we hear?
As part of our science and health and wellbeing topic we were investigating how we hear and how to look after our ears.
Building bridges
Pupils from across the school collaborated to build a bridge that held a weight using only 5 pieces of recycled paper and cello tape. Great collaborative learning.
Technologies
We designed a toy that can be pushed or pulled and the pupils made some very successful models.
Primary 2
Welcome back to Primary 2. We are looking forward to learning about toys in the past and present this term.
Dumfries House
Primary 1 had an amazing day at Dumfries House.
We learnt about what a plant needs to grow and planted our own broad beans.
We learnt about our senses in the garden and did a senses hunt in the garden. Then we made our own lavender bags.
Forces Poster using PicCollage
We have been learning about different forces – push, pull and twist.
P1 has to use the camera on the iPads to take photos of these forces in the classroom.
We then used the app, PicCollage to display the photos with captions.
Our Senses
This week we have been exploring our senses.
We enjoyed feeling and smelling our ‘mint’ and ‘cocoa’ playdough. Good enough to eat, but we all resisted!
We used our eyes to look for this week’s common words in books from the library.
We got to taste a range of fruits from the story Handa’s Surprise and talked about words to describe the taste.
