We have been using different materials to try to create an Egyptian Shaduf.
We had to decide on what material we wanted to use to construct it and we could make it our self or work as a group.
Our shaduf had to pivot and turn.
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.
Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can describe the various ways in which land has been used. SOC 1-13a
By exploring climate zones around the world, I can compare and describe how climate affects living things. SOC 1-12b
So far this term we have been comparing our landscape and culture in Scotland with that of the Polar Lands.
We carried out research into Scottish food and drink, traditions, signs and symbols, famous people, sport, houses, schools, landscape and music.
We designed and made our own tartan kilts and pipers.
We  answered different types of questions about children that live in Scotland and also about Inuit children and found some similarities and differences about the way each live.
We carried out research, and took notes about Inuit children, polar bears and penguins and we sorted our information into bullet points.
Sophia was proud to show us her penguin she had made at home and was happy to show us how we could all make one.
We are now going to learn about the Rainforest and the people that live there.
I can follow and understand rules and procedures, developing my ability to achieve personal goals. I recognise and can adopt different roles in a range of practical activities. HWB 1-23a
The children worked collaboratively to create there own games in the playground.
They made up rules for their games and each group had to explain them to the class, and lead the class when playing their game.
The class gave feedback after each game looking at what worked well and any improvements that could be made.
 We asked the class calculations and the first one on the answer got to ask the next question. |
 We had to split the class into 2 groups so there weren’t too many people running to the same number. |
 We all started standing in a circle. Someone stood in the middle and threw the ball to each person in turn. |
 If someone didn’t catch the ball they had to go and do an assault course. |
 Lots of people dropped the ball or didn’t throw it back very well. |
 They had to throw another ball between 2, ten times. |
 We threw the ball up in the air and caught it ten times. |
 |
 We saw how far we could travel balancing the ball on the bat. |
 You had to get the ball in the hoop. |

One group made up a game of football v basketball. This was fun but quite hard.
Primary 3.1 have been learning how to work together to create circuits which increase stamina. We had to trust each other, be friends and decide on our rules together. Working as a team meant we had to listen to others ideas. It was important we made our circuit safe so no one could hurt themselves. We had to make it clear what each person was expected to do by demonstrating our station. As well as learning we had to make it safe, challenging and fun. We got to try out each station, gave feedback and made adjustments where necessary. We are now confident working together and can make amazing things if we work well together. Most of us were out of breath too meaning we were improving our stamina!
We have been learning what to do
in emergency situations,
who to ask for help
and what we can do to save lives.
 Finlay and Katie from P5 demonstrated what to say and do if someone is unconscious. |
 Emma and Niamh from P5 showed us how to put someone in the recovery position. |
 Call 999 for an emergency. |
 Sarah and Kenzie worked in a pair to practise putting a person into the recovery position. |
 Lucy checked for danger before approaching Oliver to offer her help. |
 Sarah shouted for help. She gently shaked the casualty to check if he was conscious. Next she checked for signs of normal breathing. |
 Finlay gave very clear instructions on the steps to follow. |
|
We have been using our ICT skills to record some of our achievements from P2. We used Microsoft Office to open a Word document. Then we typed sentences. Next we inserted images from clip art to illustrate our sentences. Finally we saved our files.
We discussed all the knowledge and skills we have been learning and practising this year. We wrote ‘I can’ sentences as part of our ‘Growth Mindset’ activities. We set new learning targets.

Primary 2 are learning to make choices to further develop our own skills. We choose from a range of learning opportunities. Sometimes we work in pairs, in groups or with an adult. We all take responsibility for keeping our classroom and resources tidy.

 “You can choose things to do. You can learn different things and have fun.” Olivia Mason |
 “It helps you if you are stuck at a word. It means that you can write on your own”. Arlos Barsanti |
 ” I am learning to recycle litter and sharing my invention with Primary 1″ Jamie McFarlane |
Primary 2 have been learning about important inventions and how they affect people and the environment.
We have been listening and watching for useful information. We have taken notes and made books for the class library about John Logie Baird and Alexander Graham Bell. We will be researching more inventors and their inventions………….
We have planned a trip to the Science Centre in April.
Primary 2 have accepted a challenge to invent something that will help fix an environmental problem. All designs, presentations and patents are due on 10th March………………………………..
 We are learning about different types of energy. |
 We made predictions about the possible outcomes of our experiment.
|
We used heat energy to change chocolate from a solid to a liquid.
|
We had to listen carefully to all the safety rules before starting our experiment.
