Living Things and Habitats

Primary 1 have been investigating living things and the change of seasons.  We carried out investigations to test out theories of what plants need to grow.

We planted a variety of seeds and made predictions about the conditions required for growth and the possible outcomes.  We will be observing our seeds and plants

over the next few weeks.  Watch this space for our results……

World Book Day 2015!

Primary 1,2 & 3 had a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.  We used our  design, drawing and cutting skills to make unique hats for the party.

We also used our food handling skills to construct very special  Mad Hatter biscuits.

A special guest arrived (who looked suspiciously like  our Head Teacher Mrs Livingstone) and she exclaimed “There is no room!”

“There is plenty of room”, we all replied.

Unbirthday cards were made and not one person was late for a very important date.

The day after our Tea Party we all came to school dressed as a character from our favourite books.

 

Have a look at our photo gallery and see which characters you can spot!  Have you read these books?  Would you like to?

Learning is fun in the snow!

Working together to make a snowman
What will happen when the ice is heated by the sun?
Which one is bigger?
My hands will melt the ice
We are building a body and a head
Team work
Mine is bigger!
Look what we made!
I can make it bigger if I roll it in more snow.
Katie and Ben working together.
This is great fun!
