Hard at work trying different strategies to solve the problem…

Grand Designs!
Street View
After finding out about different types of land use; we searched ‘Google Maps’ during our ICT time to find residential buildings, including our own homes!
Uzair –
“Street view was so cool – I could see my front door!”
Giffnock Village
As part of our Local Area IDL this term we have been looking at the characteristics of the land in Giffnock.
We completed a modern map showing the 4 different types of land use: Residential, Recreational, Commercial and Local Authority.
Pupil Voice
Primary 4b think it is very important for everyone’s voice to be heard.
We have been learning more about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Article 15 states that ‘all children should have the right to meet other children and join groups’.
Therefore, congratulations goes to Aidan, Katherine and Kieran who were voted Class Representatives for our Pupil Council, ECO and Health and Wellbeing Committees respectively. Well done! 🙂
16-piece Jigsaw (7+)
As part of developing our class friendships, team spirit and valuing the importance of being unique we have drawn a portrait of a partner inside a jigsaw piece.
The pieces all fit together perfectly and are now proudly displayed on our wall.
Alice – ” I like how Isher did my eyes.”
Isher – ” I like my hair.”
Saman – ” Rydha drew me! It is so cool!”
Rydha – ” Thank you Saman for drawing me.”
3b become 4b!
All the boys and girls and Miss McCaskie welcome you to our blog and the first post of the new session.
We cannot wait to begin the new term and are excited about the all the new adventures to be had!

The Great Braidbar Bake Off!!!!
As part of our Business and Enterprise topic Primary 3 thought it would be good if we could make something to sell at the Summer Fayre. We brainstormed some ideas and came up with baking and selling our produce. Our school now has a portable cooker which we can take into the classroom and we were the first to use it, to bake flapjacks. Very nice tasting they were too! We also made top hats, empire biscuits and crispy cakes. It was a fantastic learning experience for us because it involved maths, language, health and wellbeing, science, art and design. In science, we have been learning about plants so we planted seeds and decorated pots to put them in. They germinated just in time for the fayre so we were able to sell them too! We really enjoyed the whole experience, especially helping out at our stall on Saturday afternoon.
Pink the Musical
This afternoon Hopsotch Theatre treated us to a wonderful performance of Pink the Musical.
Saman – I thought it was really fun when Patrick the pink penguin went to Africa.
Alice – I really enjoyed singing along to the songs.
Rydha – I found it really funny when Patrick turned pink.
Yasmin – I enjoyed the part when he went to see the doctor.
Luc – I found it funny when Patrick tried to sleep like the flamingos.
Laiba – I enjoyed the start of the musical when his friend threw the big snowball.
Rory – I enjoyed it when Patrick was throwing snowballs at his mum and dad.
Shazil – It was funny when Patrick and his friends were slipping and a sliding.
Kieran – I thought it was funny when they were throwing snowball at each other.
We would like to thank all the performers for entertaining us. We are looking forward to their next production.
Outdoor Learning
It was wonderful to see such lovely weather on Friday, so we decided to take advantage of it and have some outdoor learning. Some of us went to the school garden to make repeating and symmetrical patterns using leaves, sticks and stones. The rest of us were learning to measure distance in metres and centimetres by throwing bean bags and then we used a trundle wheel to find out how far we had thrown them.
Katherine – I found it fun going into the garden making my patterns and I also spotted a ladybird!
Umair – I liked making the repeating patterns.
Rayyan – I threw my beanbag 12 metres!!!!
Yasmin – I really liked making my pattern and seeing a ladybird so close up. It had a symmetrical pattern of spots!
Shazil – I threw my beanbag 8m which is 800 cm.
