We had a very busy end to the week in 1.4. We welcomed visitors from Primary 7 who read us their wonderful stories which they had written and illustrated. The class thought they were wonderful. Then we had a cultural talk from Mrs Ali who told us about Pakistan and traditional food and clothes which was very interesting. We finished the day with our final Mearns Masters of the day where the children in the Design and Manufacture group finished their wonderful puppets and took them outside for a puppet show! We were all very tired after our busy day and are looking forward to the long holiday weekend! Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine everyone š
We have had a busy start to the week trialling our task board. We have a range of dinosaur related activities to discover and explore.
We finished S.T.E.M fortnight by taking part in five, fun S.T.E.M activities. We enjoyed our afternoon working together, learning and having fun!
The activities we did were:
3D Shapes – we used matchsticks and play dough to make some 3D shapes like cubes and cuboids.
Lego – we had to make our names using Lego.
Floating Ball – using a straw and a piece of paper we had to create something that would make a tin foil ball float! This was tricky.
Making Bridges – our challenge here was to create bridges for our teddy bears to cross using cups and lollipop sticks. How many teddies will our bridge support?
Marble run – We had to work together and use the pipes and try and get the marbles from one side of the sand pit to the other!
We will get a chance this week to try challenges we havenāt done yet.
As part of our technology , we used the iPad to take photos. Ā The children were free to choose their subjects. Some took ” action shots”, some chose to pose the Potato Heads and some had difficulty Ā finding the “click” button! Ā The children were fascinated!
We all know that Santa is busy at this time of year, so we have set up a trainee elf workshop. We have the wood shop, hammering away and we are practising to wrap presents. We have been super careful using tools. Ā Elf and Safety always comes first. Ā š ( No elves were hurt in this scenario! )
