Last week, we continued our IDL topic, “My Community”.  We learned about Lugar Church and Christianity.  We compared this to a mosque.  On Thursday we walked down to Lugar Church and loved exploring the grounds.  All of the boys and girls were really impressed by the shiny bell.

On Friday afternoon we enjoyed some outdoor Physical Education with Ryan.  We loved playing games together and getting some exercise.  A lovely way to end our week!

We are looking forward to starting some Christmas activities in the coming week.

P2/3have been learning all about the human body.  We carried out an experiment to find out how our digestive system works.  Digestion starts in the mouth, where food is chewed and salvia added.  It then goes down the oesophagus and enters the stomach.  We put crackers in a bag – acting as our stomach.  Crushed them up and added coke to act as the hydrochloric acid.  It was pretty yuck!!!  We found out that it then enters the small intestine where digested food is absorbed into the blood stream.  Our small intestine is 6 meters long.  So we made our own out of paper chains.  It’s pretty long eh?!

P2/3 have been working really hard to improve their story  writing skills.   We designed our own characters from play dough and then made a story walk about them.  This really helped us be imaginative and talk about our work before the formal writing part.  We are so pleased how they turned out!

Last week P7  took part in a range of activities with visitors from Dumfries house.

This week P7 worked in collaborative groups and chose a variety of materials to filter their polluted potions.

P5/6 have been studying the daily lives of African children.  We put together storyboards reflecting a typical day.

Then we wondered …

What would life in Logan be like without services like power, gas, water and the internet?

As we wrote about “What if Logan was like Africa?” it made if pause to think how lucky we are.

During topic we have been learning all about Police Scotland and the work they do for our community.  We are interested in learning about their uniform and got to look at an inspectors uniform.  We also got the opportunity to look at the uniform from the Metropolitan Police.  We managed to point out the similarities.

As part of our topic “My Community” we are learning about reduce, reuse and recycle.  We have looked at the bins we have in our community.  We are busy cutting items and sticking these under the correct bin.

Welcome to our ‘Work of the week blog’ that lets you see the work that has been happening across the school. With new posts each day we hope to share with you a small part of the amazing learning that the pupils engage in each week.
