This week we have been using GoogleEarth to explore our local environment. Everyone found their home and the school.
Finlay – You can drop the wee yellow person and see the people and places. You can’t drop the person in the water.
Marci – I enjoyed looking at all the houses in the village.
Sarah M – I enjoyed dropping the wee man down and seeing places like it was real life.
We had to find out information about an endangered animal of the rainforest and create a booklet, poster or PowerPoint to show the class. We listened carefully to everyone’s presentations and asked relevant questions.
When I engage with others, I know when and how to listen, when to talk, how much to say, when to ask questions and how to respond with respect. LIT 1-02a
I can present my writing in a way that will make it legible and attractive for my reader, combining words, images and other features. LIT 1-24a
I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains. MNU 1-20a
I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b
Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a
We have been working in groups to create our own surveys. We had to think of the question we would ask and the options for the answers. We then asked another class in the school. We recorded our information in a table then had to transfer it to a bar graph. We made sure we labelled it appropriately and used the correct scale. We made predictions about what the results would show and compared our predictions with the result. We then used a spreadsheet in ICT to make a bar graph on the computer.
We also used Venn and Carroll diagrams to sort polar animals into different categories.
Primary 3.1 have been exploring the properties of a range of 2D shapes and identifying 2D shapes which will tile.
They completed tiling patterns with a range and combination of 2D shapes and designed and created tiling patterns with 2D shapes.
I used squares to make a pattern. – Olivia
We practised on the computer.
Thalia – I used triangles to make my pattern.
Fraser – You have to make sure the lines join. There can’t be any gaps.
Cara – I used hexagons.
Arlo – I made a pyramid out of triangles.
Siona – The shapes all have to have straight sides.
Jamie – My pattern is made out of triangles. I had to turn the triangle round to fill each gap.
Oli – I used lots of different shapes with straight sides to make my pattern.
Joseph – You can’t tile with circles because the sides have to fit together.
Jo – You can fill in the gaps in octagons by using squares turned round.

Primary 1 have explored and invented characters that have superpowers!
We have been learning to use WOW words to describe characters. Using WOW words makes our writing more interesting for anyone reading about our characters.
We gave our characters names and designed their costumes using the Marvel website.
P1 are inventing their own superhero characters and comic strips!
We made new characters using a variety of materials. We invented new avatar superheroes using the Interactive Whiteboard. We used WOW words to describe our Superheroe’s powers, talents and appearance.
We made our own comic strip books. We are awesome authors.
Welcome to Primary 1!
We have been so active….indoors and outdoors. We have been balancing, throwing & catching, inventing our own games and working as a team!
