P6 had another busy afternoon sharing their terrific talent with some P1 pupils. They did some sequencing and directions with beebots. Then finished off with some Scratch Junior on iPads.
Thanks again to our Primary 6 digital leaders. You are doing a fantastic job in your leadership role.
Well done 🙂
Primary 6 have been busy again, this afternoon, sharing their Terrific Talents with P3.
Well done Primary 3! And a huge thank you to the Primary 6 digital leaders for sharing their Terrific Talents so well.
It has been a busy time in Primary 4b!
Primary 7 came and read some of Jesus’ miracles to us during Catholic Education Week.
Mr Harris came from St Ninian’s to teach us Scratch Coding. We have enjoyed programming our Cat and Pokemon and we are even creating our own games!
Mrs Neil came and introduced us to the Hour of Code website where we created a Dance Music Video! It was great fun and we are looking forward to using it again during Hour of Code Week.
We have been working with our writing partners to write disaster stories called The Nightmare Just Before Christmas, they’re coming along nicely!
When we were asked to create poems about Autumn but winter had almost arrived, we used the VR Headsets to go on an Autumn Walk and use our sense of sight. We then went outside to find inspiration for our other senses!
Primary 4a are enjoying taking part in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge and have created a bar chart to keep a record of how many books they have read. They participated in Drop It and Read last week for Book Week. When they heard the whistle go off in class they stopped what they were doing and read their private reading books.
We are taking part in The Hour of Code and to launch this Mrs Neil introduced us to some very exciting coding websites. Primary 4a are extremely talented and writing their own games and activities using different coding software. Use the links on Glow to show off your coding skills at home too!
Chloe brought in her world record attempt for tap to show the class. A very well deserved certificate!
Primary 4a are enjoying to build their own simple computer programs. They are working closely with Mr Harris from St Ninian’s to develop their confidence at using Scratch an online coding program. The children are using their problem solving to solve the task given to them by Mr Harris.
Science Centre
Primary 3c have had a really busy last few weeks with different outings around our Local area and a trip to the Science Centre. Have a look at the pictures below. First of all we went into the Planetarium and learned all about Space, the constellations and the planets. Then we got a chance to explore each different floor of the Science Centre. Here were some of our favourite parts:
Sophie said: “My favourite part was the Planetarium because I liked seeing Space.”
Eesa said: “I liked the Planetarium because of the stars and I liked seeing the different animals which were in the shapes of the stars.”
Lewis said: “My favourite part was the upside down house. It was a house that you went into and it made you feel all funny and dizzy because it was upside down”.
Celeste said: “I liked the games especially the Multi-tasking game where you had to press the green buttons as soon as they changed colour. It was quite hard because you had to concentrate on lots of different things.”
Coding
We have been using lots of different digital technology this week! We have been coding using beebots and probots. Have a look at our pictures below:
We have also been using a coding programme on the Chromebooks which we have loved! We are becoming so good at it. Here are some of the things we enjoyed about it.
Isabella said: “I like being able to try and get the beebot to a destination.”
Gabriel M said “I like the games you can play when coding”.
Martha said ” I like using electronics to learn.”
Ellie said ” I enjoy using lots of different shapes with the probots. I had to try a few times before I worked out how to do it.”
Seonaidh said: “I thought the Beebots were really fun and they taught us how to independently find the treasure on the map by programming the beebot.”
PE and French
Today in PE we took our learning outdoors and made the most of the nice weather. We combined PE and French and played games using French instruction.
