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.
Congratulations to who all performed so confidently during the assembly to celebrate Eid-ul-adha this week.
Well done, Aidan, Zoha, Shazil, Luc, Katherine, Yasmin and Rydha!
This week we took part in a whole-school dance-a-thon to raise funds for the school. We turned the classroom into a dance floor but we got sooooooo out of breath as we moved non-stop for 30 minutes! Phew!
To develop our knowledge further on local produce and sustainability – Mrs Andrews organised a trip for us to Waitrose in the Newton Mearns. We were all so excited to go onto the bus and couldn’t wait to get there!
First we went to the fresh produce aisle and tasted kiwi berries which were very sour! Only some of us liked them but we all had a go.
We looked at the ‘traffic light’ system as a way of checking the nutritional value of the foods we eat. The Butternut Squash Curry had all green!
Thank you Wendy at Waitrose – we had such a fun time learning new things!
We were so pleased this week to be voted ‘Line of the Week’ by the teachers!
We enjoyed the warm Autumn air and sunshine during our extra 15 minute play time! Thank you to everyone who voted for us! Yay!
This week we got our ‘Nigella and Jamie’ hats on and we couldn’t wait to cook up a storm!
First up on the menu was Mac ‘n’ Cheese – yummy!
Here’s a picture of the finished dish and how we got there…
