STEAM challenge

Primary 7 set our class a house challenge, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Each house had to work collaboratively to design and build a rose or bunch of roses using the materials we had in class. Lots of ideas were trialled before a final design was made. Everyone gave themselves a role and worked extremely well to complete the challenge. Here are the finished 3D roses. Great teamwork!

Blue House – single rose

Red House – pot full of roses

 

Yellow House – A bouquet

Green House – Used a tower of paper cup lids to create a tub to hold their roses.
Well done everyone!

Numeracy

Primary 5 have been very busy with their new work on fractions. We know how to calculate a fraction of a number and also create equivalent fractions. Our number talks have been to half and double this fortnight.

Literacy

We have started our new novel ‘ The Butterfly Lion ‘ by Michael Morpurgo. This week we used Prior knowledge, prediction, visualisation and metalinguistics to study the text. We have also decided we wanted to find out more about white Lions and Africa. This will be our interdisciplinary topic until Easter.

Drawings from the description of the Manor House.

Burns Competition

We had a very difficult decision to make as everyone in P5 who learned their poem was excellent. Miss Wheelan had the tricky task of judging the finalists.

2nd – Layla                      A dug a dug!
