We were lucky to have lots of visitors this week to talk about their role in their work place. Jill Hearns from GE Aerospace, Carol Kane from Vattenfall Renewables, Strider from Living Streets Scotland, Derek from Scottish Power Renewables and Howard from Dean Castle Country Park. The children from the ECC visited us to tell us about recycling and Primary 4/5 taught a lesson on Climate Change to ECC,P1, P2, P3/4 and 4/5. Then on Friday we joined a magic show all about Road Safety.
The pupils were all involved in measuring, sawing, drilling and cutting as we put together the Eco friendly greenhouse made with recycled bottles.
Primary 4/5 took part in a Building Challenge yesterday. They were allowed to choose to work individually or in a small group. Some building challenges were discussed with the children and then the children built something using lego.
Look at the photos and can you identify what has been made or was in the process of being made.
Some children worked in more than one group to help other children.
We had:
A famous landmark – the Eiffel Tower (it wasn’t finished but it was in the process of being built in the photo).
A fashion show was being hosted along a catwalk.
A city was being created with lots of buildings.
A spaceship and alien were zooming about.
A great day designing book tokens, creating a cover for a book based on only hearing the blurb, reading in the garden, creating potato characters, swapping books and reading in a cosy space in the hall and meeting the Killie mascot with a story being shared too!
Well done to all those that won awards at our achievement assembly. 👏
P5 were super excited to meet their buddies in the ECC. We went down to the ECC where they had the chance to meet, talk and play together.
Tomorrow (Tuesday 4th March), Primary 4/5 will be working with Primary 1 to make pancakes.
With the recycled plastic bottles that have been donated we drilled the caps to the wood then added on the bottles at the bottom. Next step is to thread the canes through the bottles. The children all demonstrated great technology skills.
The East Ayrshire Community Waste Officers came in to talk to us about recycling at home and in school. We were able to make links with what we are trying to achieve in working towards our next Eco Flag as part of the Clean Green Awards.
For Valentine’s Day we created hearts from natural materials. We also made heart bookmarks to celebrate our love of reading.
