We have been creating some spectacular artwork relating to our class topic of Africa. Today we finished our wax resist creations of an elephant in an African landscape. Wouldn’t you agree the children’s work looks fantastic?

P3a Active Literacy
I have loved getting to know all the children during the short time I have been in Primary 3a. We have our Active Literacy programme up and running and have enjoyed using different materials such as elkonin boxes and pipe cleaners to practice our words each week. 
We have also loved exploring and learning about our new topic which is all about Africa/Kenya. Why don’t you ask the children to show off what they have learned.
Primary 6 Wind Power
As part of our climate change topic primary 6 have been learning about different types of renewable energy. We have been completing different STEAM challenges and our last one was to build a simple wind turbine. The children had to work in groups and were given different resources, depending on the country they represented.
As you can see from the videos below, some of the turbines were more successful than others.
Primary 6 Coding
What a busy day! This afternoon Primary 6 were experimenting with BBC Microbits. The children had fun programming their micro bits to count their steps.
During the lesson the children used block code to program. They also managed to adapt their code in order to improve their “Fitbits”.
The children also put their maths skills to the test when they made watch straps in order to support their Microbits.
Primary 6 Beat the Flood
Here are the finished creations from P6. As you can see they have all shown real creativity here and completed the challenge well. Some of the houses were more successful than others at “beating the flood”. Well done Primary 6.
Primary 6 Open Hour STEM Challenge
Primary 6 had great fun completing a STEM challenge where they had an hour to build a flood resistant house. Tomorrow each of the houses will be put to the test, which houses will withstand the flood and which will be washed away…. watch this space to find out!
Dunlop’s Got Talent 2019
Last term we held Dunlop’s Got Talent 2019. There were a number of different acts all keen to show us what they could. We are always amazed at the range of talents our pupils have from singing to limbo! No matter what the the talent is, it is the children’s confidence and enthusiasm that shines through and makes it one of our yearly highlights.
