Primary 7a (and teachers) had a fantastic day today, in James Hamilton Heritage Park. What a wonderful job you did sailing, raft building and rafting!
Well done on your terrific teamwork boys and girls. We had fantastic fun!

What a treat P5 had today! Two very kind engineers came and helped us build a bridge. We worked as a team to figure out the quickest and safest way to build the bridge, walk over it and then dismantle it again.
Thank you very much for an amazing, hands on experience.
We have been learning how to identify and classify angles using the terms: acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex.
We have been investigating angles in the environment and classifying them using appropriate mathematical vocabulary.
Today, we took our learning outdoors and searched for angles in our school environment. We recorded our findings on worksheets and discussed the properties of the objects.
“We were looking for angles in the outdoor classroom. We found right angles, acute and obtuse angles. We did find some reflex angles in the tyre. We worked in pairs. We recorded what we had found on a worksheet on clipboards. We also discovered that there are angles in between our arms and legs.” Shay & Rocco
“We liked looking for angles outside because we didn’t know that there were so many angles all around us. It was more fun than doing indoor work. We found lots of right angles but not a lot of reflex angles.” Lucy McG & Mirin
Excellent Effort today P5d! Well done 🙂
P5d have been very busy this afternoon leading their own learning. We spent some time working in pairs, in Google Classroom, thinking of some topics to learn about. As today is internet safety, we thought about how we spent our time online.
This afternoon we:
Well done P5d! Keep up the good work online 🙂
Despite the bad weather, P5d persevered and went outdoors this week to do some Maths work.
Last week, we went to the Chesnut garden and collected sticks and other materials that were lying around the ground. Before we went out, we discussed what we might need to look out for.
This week, we went to the outdoor classroom and created symmetrical pictures and patterns using these shapes.
We also used our knowledge of 3D and 2D shapes to create models and pictures of shapes.
We worked in teams of 5 or 6 to read our brief and then collaborate to create our ideas.
Well done P5d. You worked very hard as a team and enjoyed your learning outdoors. 🙂
Primary 4c developed their teamwork skills today in the STEM room. They worked with a small group to design and create an ideal building they would like to find in their local area. They presented their ideas to the class and confidently answered any questions that their peers had.
Have a look at some of the amazing buildings they created!
Blue skies and sunshine prevailed for our orienteering task this morning. Everyone worked together successfully to find the answers to the Easter themed quiz. Well done to those who found the bonus question.
Happy Easter.
Primary 4c have been exploring angles in their local environment. We went on an angle hunt to find as many angles as we could in the playground. We learned that a right angle is 90 degrees, an acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees and an obtuse angle is bigger than 90 degrees. We even used sticks to create our own angles. Look what we found.
In Term 2 P4b have enjoyed working in the STEM room. They have been learning to describe the position and function of the skeleton and major organ s of the human body.
Primary 4c enjoyed developing their golf skills today in P.E. They worked has a team to create different games at the stations set out.
