This week the children have been learning to contribute to discussion on the latest scientific news.   We started the lesson by talking about the role of  a scientist and what a scientist may look and sound like.  They were asked to draw a scientist and explain their reasons. 17 of them drew a male character and 3 drew a female character.  This brought about a discussion about famous/popular scientists and we will explore this at a later date.

We then watched videos from TigTag where they learned about plastic pollution and Volcanos.  They talked to each other about ways they can improve plastic pollution.  They worked together to read through a news article of their own and reported back to the class about their findings.

 

We all had great fun on Friday 17th November when we participated in activities to raise money for the Children in Need charity.

We loved singing, dancing, telling jokes and performing gymnastic routines during our Pudsey Talent Show.  Well done everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The children were developing their knowledge of Space.   They can identify the 8 phases of the moon and had the choice to draw or cut and stick the 8 phases of the moon to paper plates.

Primary 3 have started to observe the sun and the moon. Today they learned about the patterns of movement. We used balloons to recreate the moon orbiting Earth and identified how the moon reflects the light of the sun.

 

Primary 3/1 have had a very busy and productive week.  They have been developing their cooperation skills by working in small groups to build bridges.  Their task was to create something that could hold the weight of a small toy car.  Primary 3 talked about what makes a structure strong and identified the importance of building a strong foundation, they identified 2D shapes within their structures.

 

Primary 3/1 have been reading the novel Flat Stanley and were keen to design their own kite.  We talked about wind force and why kites can fly.  They also identified reasons as to why a kite would not fly.

 

Whilst reading Flat Stanley we read about measurement.  Primary 3/1 have been busy measuring different items in the classroom using a ruler and metre sticks.  They carefully used a ruler to draw and measure different pieces of artwork.

 

 

Primary 2 had so much fun at Summerlee where they got to explore olden day houses that they had learnt about in school. They were able to identify different items such as the baths, record players and kitchen tools.

The children got to take part in different activities that children their age would have had to do in the past. The big favourite was the toys children played with, some were really hard but everyone gave them a go.

 

The big park was also a huge hit 🏞️ They were running around, climbing to heights and swinging off everything.

Primary 2 successfully worked together to win their pompom prize. They were got pompoms for being kind, working well and being confident.  🎉

They were very lucky to have been given a huge range of free fruit for them all to cut up and try. There was pineapple, watermelon, honey melon, mango, peaches and much more. 🍍🍉🍈🥭🍑 They followed the hygiene rules, washing hands, wiping boards and cleaning up.  Using the safety skills about to hold and cut a fruit they were able to cut up different fruits accurately.

The children got a bag and to pick the fruit that they wanted to have to eat. With a blanket we went up the top of the grassy hill. They were so excited to show their teddies and books that they brought in and everyone sat down reading to their teddies eating their tasty fruit. It was great to see them all so happy with their fruit, teddies and books.
