Lego Club 👷♂️
On Monday, we enjoyed a build challenge at our new Lego Club! We had to build the tallest tower using the fewest blocks possible. Here’s our handiwork!
Angles
This week we have been investigating angles. We’ve learned about the types of angles and how to measure them… those protractors are a bit fiddly, even the giant one on the board.
Investigating seeds and flowers 🌸
Primary 4-7 investigated different types of seeds and looked for their similarities and differences. We also labelled the parts of a flower using a tulip to identify each part.
Repeated Addition
Today we used the Numicon to help us understand repeated addition. Look at all our examples…
Quentin Blake Exhibition
Today Primary 5/6/7 enjoyed a visit to the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock to see the Quentin Blake exhibition. We enjoyed looking at his artwork and illustrations before getting a chance to create our own artwork. Fiona showed us how to use mixed media such as ink, watercolour, crayons and charcoal.
What do you think of our artwork?
Children in Need 2022
Today we celebrated Children in Need. Through our dress down day, duck race, guess the Teddy’s birthday and guess the sweets in the jar, we raised a fantastic £174.90!
Here are our winners:
Guess the Sweets: Hallie
Guess the Teddy’s birthday: Ziggy
Duck race: Eilidh
Here are some highlights from our day.
Problem Solving with Pentominoes and Tangrams
Primary 7 tried out the tricky challenge of Pentominoes. They had to fit each smaller shape into a rectangle a certain way… they did a brilliant job!
And, as if that wasn’t a challenge enough, they then tried some Tangrams. Each shape has to go in a particular place to make a new picture. Take a look…
Remembrance Day Service
Today, we visited Sorn Parish Church for our Remembrance Day service. We sang some songs about peace and remembrance and also read poetry and shared a bible reading. Everyone enjoyed us sharing what peace means and observed a silence in memory of those who died in the war. If you’re passing, take a look at our poppies in the grounds of the church.
Sorn Parish Church
Today we visited Sorn Parish Church for a rehearsal for our Remembrance Service tomorrow. I just had to share the beautiful knitted poppy display outside the building.
