Great work, Primary 1!

Leave a comment

I have really enjoyed reading about all the different things that you have been doing in Primary 1.    The boats that you designed and made during STEM week are fantastic and you look like you enjoyed working together.  I can see that you looked very closely at real daffodils so that you could add lots of detail to your beautiful daffodil paintings.  I am pleased to see some super teamwork and problem solving skills when making mud pies in the mud kitchen and making tents outside.  Well done for working so hard!  Keep up the great work!

Sean and Rachel from Atkins told us a little about being engineers. They challenged us to make a boat that floats using just straws, tape and tin foil!

Fair trade

Mixed Stage Learning Fair trade

Roaming reporters are Jace and Aidan

In our school we are mixing in different classes to do Fair trade IDL. We are making a design on a T-Shirt template in groups. The winning group gets their design on a real T-Shirt made from Fair Trade cotton.  The winner gets decided by people in the class by vote.

This is the winning groups design.

Here they are putting it into their fair-trade cotton T-Shirt.

Last week was world book day but due to the unsuspected snow we re-arranged it to today. World book day is  all about books and if you want you can dress up as your favourite character from a book.

Innes- “I dressed up as Burglar Bill.”

Ailsa-” I dressed up as Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Kobe-” I dressed up as Harry Potter.”

Tilly-” I dressed up as Snow White.
