Well it is that time of the year. We all remember it well. The children in Primaries 3 and 4 are really enjoying learning some Scottish Country Dances in preparation for their Christmas Party.
They can already dance The Circle Waltz, The Canadian Barn Dance and The Military Two Step.
We have also had fun dancing these traditional dances to some modern music too.
We are really looking forward to our party.
Wow! I am so impressed.
Today the children had a visit from the SSPCA. They learned about the work done locally and where the rescue and rehoming centres are.
The children had to think about how animals feel when they are neglected or mistreated.
In small groups they then built a robot rabbit which they programmed, using their tablet, to make the rabbit stories, which they had created, come to life.
Fabulous teamwork and amazing coding and programming skills.
An amazing experience!
As part of the P7 to S1 transition, P7 participated in 2 STEM based challenges at Stewarton Academy last week. The pupils were mixed with pupils from Kilmaurs Primary. This challenge is only part 1 and will be continued in S1.
Primary 5 have been learning about deforestation and sustainability. They were given a Minecraft challenge to create a sustainable farmhouse that would have little long-term environmental impact.
The children came up with some amazing ideas such as solar panels, windmills and crop fields, to name a few! I’m still so impressed with how creative the children are and look forward to planning the next Minecraft challenge!
Primary 5 have been learning about 2D nets and how they can be assembled to create different 3D shapes.
With these 3D shapes they’ve then created these amazing robots!
The children used a large number line. They were learning how to place numbers on a blank number line.
From now until the Christmas holidays the children will be revisiting the following sounds and spelling words:
a, s, t, p, i, n, r, m, d, e, c, k, g, l, f, o, b, u.
a, at, the, I, in, it, an, is, and, am, me, my, did, as, he, can, we, into.
If you wish to reinforce these at home, please do so using Active Literacy strategies from the booklet.
The children have been very busy making items for our Christmas shop. The shop will be open for the children to come to on Monday the 2nd of December.
P2B have been learning all about people who help us and others. We have been learning about a Police Officer and a Fire Fighter.
PC Lynch came in to our class to share with us his roles and responsibilities in his job as a Police Officer.
We had a great time trying on all of his equipment and asking him loads of questions.
We had lots of fun investigating different smells.
Our classroom does not smell great today. We have some really disgusting smelling things in our bin.
Some smells were lovely, especially the chocolate but Mr Stewart will not be happy with the onion in our bin.
As you can see we liked some of the smells but not all of them.
