Well done to the children in Icosahedrons for putting their knowledge of everyday maths to the test today. We were looking at cheques and why they are used, the importance of them and how to use a cheque as well. We used this knowledge to write a cheque to Poppy Scotland. Busby Primary School raised £180 for the charity.
Well done!

Fergus was creative with washing his hands today. He caught the whole classes attention by showing his how to produce a huge bubble from water and soap.

Who knew washing our hands could be so exciting?

The children have been working so hard on building suspense in their stories by incorporating similes, metaphors, short sentences and ellipsis.

Today – they were challenged to work collaboratively to write a story. They listened to music, looking at images of setting and looked at story starters to get their creativity flowing.

The level of work produced was absolutely fantastic and they were able to peer assess another groups writing afterwards too. This shows their level of understanding on how to build suspense in a story.

Today we were using compasses to produce circle art. We were overlapping circle and using different colours to fill in the blank space. The compasses were definitely challenging to us.

Well done for working hard P7!

In science today we were learning that potential energy transfers into kinetic energy. This is released as they fall to produce kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is greatest as the balls strike the ground as they no longer have potential energy.
