All set to go.

We had lots of fun on our trip to the Balgray Reservoir, Dams to Darnley. We went for a walk round the water with Joe looking at the different features and wildlife surrounding it.

Then we had a short break.

Next we worked in teams to build and test different types of dams. We used big stones, small stones and sand. When we got back to class we had a discussion about what worked and what didn’t. We think that sand was the best material as it held back the water for longer.

 

This is PC Moffat, our Campus Officer. He came to talk to Primary One about strangers and some of the dangers they may pose.

He told us three steps to take when faced with a stranger:

RUN, YELL & TELL!

1. Run away.
2. Yell ‘Stranger Danger’ as loud as you can.
3. Tell someone you trust; it could be a parent, teacher, police officer or coach.

He also told us about a secret password system. You and your parents create a secret password. If anybody other than your parent comes to collect you, they have to tell you the secret password before you go with them.

Be aware of ‘Stranger Danger’ and stay safe!

 

Here, we are using one-to-one correspondence to collect, organise and display information about Smarties.

   

We have been learning to record information using Venn and Carroll diagrams, tally marks and tables.

 

We have also been finding specific information from bar graphs.

Our next steps are to think of our own questions!

Have a eggtastic Spring break everybody 🙂

I look forward to welcoming pupils back on Tuesday, 18 April 2017.
