After lots of practise it was time to perform this year’s P1-4 Nativity: It’s a Party!
Thank you to all the family members who came to support us!
We designed the background images for our poem and special song: ‘In a Stable’.
We hope everyone has a lovely time over the festive period.
We’ll see you in 2016!
We were so excited again to be cooking this week!
We made some healthy pitta pizzas and they were sooooooo scrummy that we had to have a try before we went home!
After all our efforts in helping to keep the school grounds clean and safe the Rights Respecting Group treated the whole school to a popcorn snack!
We decided to watch an episode of ‘Horrible Histories’ linked to our IDL ‘The Romans’. Thank you to Miss Paterson and the group!
Under Article 24 of The UNCRC we have the right to a clean and safe environment. The Rights Respecting Group set us a challenge to give the MUGA a bit of a tidy!
We collected fallen Autumn leaves and litter that had blown into the games area.
It was an exhausting but worthwhile job. We are going to get a reward for all our efforts too! More to follow…
…the fifth of November!
We were inspired to make these fireworks pictures using a variety of art medium; including collage, chalk and pastels. It was a very messy job but we think they turned out spectacularly!
Today we had a special visit from children’s author Lyn McNicol.
She read a passage from her new book ‘Badger the Mystical Mutt and the Daydream Drivers’. We found out all about Badger the dog and learned about some of the adventures he manages to find himself in!
Badger, himself even made an appearance too!
Today we worked in groups of 4 to discuss some statements linked to our topic on ‘The Romans’. We had to use positive listening and talking skills throughout. We made sure we demonstrated eye-contact, taking turns to speak and respecting other peoples’ opinions.
Do you think this statement is True or False?
” The Romans built Hadrian’s Wall.” Answers on a Postcard please!
Thank you to Yasmin and Rydha’s Gran’s who came to help us in class this afternoon. A special thank you also to Miss Paterson who helped us write-up our recipe cards at the board afterwards!
We made some nutritionally balanced fruit and vegetable smoothies. They seemed to go down a treat judging by Luc’s response – “That is theeee best smoothie evvvver!”.
Of the 5 food groups we tried to get 3 of the groups into our smoothies.
We made: Strawberry, Banana and Blueberry, Tropical and Pear, Apple and Spinach!
Today we visited the library to investigate old maps and pictures of Giffnock from the past.
It was really interesting to see how land was used back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Giffnock was a thriving farming and agricultural town with a sandstone quarry; producing sandstone for around the world.
We particularly enjoyed looking at old-fashioned handwriting on the old census’ and pictures on the iPads.
Captured this week on our ‘Signs of Autumn’ hunt!
After our walk we were inspired to paint silhouetted trees with an Autumn sunset background.
