We had a great Christmas Day today. We played lots of games, danced and made snowman biscuits. Here are some of our pictures!

Recently in Science we have been learning about Food Chains.

We investigated the terms herbivore, carnivore and omnivore.  We had to draw and label an animal and then correctly sort the animal using a whole class Venn Diagram.  We had lots of fun!

We now have a wonderful new school library where we are timetabled to go with Mrs Britton. We went this week and we really enjoyed the experience. Here we are enjoying it.

Here are all the sheep ready to Shimmy for the Christmas Nativity!

We have started a new RME topic all about the Parables of Jesus.  We listened to and discussed the story of the two builders or the wise man and the foolish man.  We talked about the message of the story and how we should always work hard in everything that we do and be kind to others.

We used different building materials and tried to build a house on cushions to be like the foolish man who took the easy way out.  We then built a house on solid foundations – it was more difficult to knock down.  We decided we would rather be like the wise man. We also designed our own dream homes!

Party Hats

Carrying on with instructional writing in our comprehension we read some instructions about how to make a party hat. We answered all the questions related to the instructions then made our own hat. We are wearing them on our heads in the first photo.

Fruit Kebabs

In Health we have been talking about healthy foods and snacks. We made some fruit kebabs which are a great healthy snack. We then wrote instructions for them as well.

We have been learning how to write instructions within our writing lessons. We are making sure that we include a ‘you will need’ list and that our instructions are clear and easy to follow. We made cucumber sandwiches to help us get the right order. We even ate them afterwards😋

We all had a fab time at our Halloween party and as it was our PE time we even managed to have it in the hall! Dancing, games and party food were all enjoyed thanks to the Parent Council donation!

We have been studying Scottish Inventors this month. We learned about Alexander Graham Bell and how he invented the telephone so we re-created our own basic telephones to communicate with each other! They did work!

Primary 3 have been enjoying learning about Space.

We made models to demonstrate that the earth spins around the sun and the moon orbits the earth.  We also investigated how the moon reflects the suns light using a torch as the sunlight. We had great fun creating our own craters on the moon using space rocks.

Have a look at our learning so far!
