Today Maddie and Ryan visited from Yorkshire Bank to lead a workshop about budgeting. The pupils had to plan a party with a budget and calculate costs. They then calculated the cost of a ticket and presented their ideas and results to the class in a poster format.
As part of our science topic of light and the eye we investigated how light travels, refraction, prisms and splitting white light into a spectrum.
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.
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!
For Valentine’s Day we created hearts from natural materials. We also made heart bookmarks to celebrate our love of reading.
