We learned some more of our Scottish dance routine today. Our teachers were very impressed with how well we did. 😁
Scottish Dancing take 2
Christmas Fayre
On the 1st December, Mearns Primary will host our annual Christmas fayre. For this, our class are going to make these amazing reindeer jars filled with reindeer dust, perfect to scatter on Christmas Eve! Please help us by sending in any spare glass jars over the next week (jam jar size) and once we have enough for each child we can begin our crafting.
Thank you ☺
Library Time
We visited the school library today. We were having a little look at the books and we read stories to each other. When we return to the library, we will be able to take books out, but we have to remember to bring them back!
Maths is Fun
We learn maths in all different ways. We can use our loose parts to add and we use real money when we learn about money. Here we are adding 1and sorting out money.
Scottish Dancing
We have started to learn Scottish Country Dancing. We were a bit uncertain at first, but soon got the hang of it. A lot of counting to 8 was heard and a lot of giggles. We had to work as a team and go round for 8in a circle and go back again. Then we had to go up to our partners and clap their hands . We’ll do more next week and add in the music.
Hallowe’en Science
We has a lot of fun with our hallowe’en science. We made lava lamps; felt the gloop, slime and freely pumpkins; we touched the ice hands and felt them as they melted and we watched the pumpkin throw up when Mrs Arbuckle put the vinegar onto the special powder; we used static electricity to lift the tissue ghosts and Miss Barrie from Eastwood High brought in her Van der Graaf Generator. It made lightning and cracked. It also made Miss Barrie’s hair stand up.
Lots of activities ! Lots of fun!
Learning In 1.3
We are constantly learning through play. There is so much to learn from in 1.3 and we love to discuss what we are doing. Our teachers ask us what activities we would like in class and they do their best to make it fun!
Calculations with “blood”!
Since it was Hallowe’en today, we made some cLculations using the pipettes and “blood”. We felt like scientists. We can now add on one beautifully.
The sound bag
Today, we had to pick something out of the bag and write it’s sound. We were very good at it
The Potion
We were creating our potions for writing today. First, Miss O’Neil became a witch with her cauldron. She added lots of ingredients to the cauldron. The children asked if Mrs Arbuckle could “drink” the Potion and turn into a frog. After Mrs Arbuckle drank the Potion, she jumped around the room! We all laughed. Miss O’Neil then cast a spell and turned her back into a teacher! We then wrote our own potions.
