P6a were looking at food labelling system and the amount of sugar per 100g/ml. Some very shocking surprises with BBQ sauce coming at the top of the list and some fizzy drinks coming closer to the bottom! They measured out caster sugar to see the actual level of sugar in each item/100g.
The gardening group looked at our outside area at the back of the school. We cleared up many of the leaves and litter which was lying around before making birdhouses ready for the spring time! Hopefully our garden will be blossoming come April!
When it’s too cold or wet outside and we can’t get out for P.E. primary 5a like to use Just Dance. We have some great moves! Check us out!
At the beginning of the year we all wrote down three things we could already do and one thing that we couldn’t do YET. We are hoping that when we look back on our statements at the end of the year that we can now do what we said in our final statement. 
Hollie: I can do a cart wheel, a handstand and a front flip. I can’t YET swim.
Caleb: I can help, work hard and listen. I can’t YET whistle.
Let’s hope we CAN at the end of the year!
In circle time P4 have talked about bullying behaviour and the effect it has on people. They talked about the way different people would feel – the person who displayed the bullying behaviour, the person who was the target of the bullying behaviour, the teachers , other children , the parents etc. They hope to use this information and create some literacy work from it.
When P4 were doing bounce back they looked at social justice. They learned that social justice was about being fair and caring for all people in the world. They discussed the different groups who try to make sure that things are fair for all people. Save the Children was mentioned as well as many other charities.
In writing the children wrote thank you letters to Mrs. Strang for the work that she does for Save the Children and making things fair for children across many countries.
P4 looked at some art work that represented social justice and had an interesting discussion about how they managed this. They then used the visual elements of line, shape, colour and pattern to create their own piece of art work showing the image of a handshake.
Here are two of the letters by Ruby and Rhys.
We all went on an Autumn Adventure to Arthurlie House.
