Our Trip to the Science Centre

On Wednesday, we went on a trip to the Science Centre in Glasgow. We had lots of fun exploring all of the science activities and we even visited the planetarium to learn about the journey that Santa makes on his sleigh during Christmas eve to deliver presents around the world! Here are some photographs that show our learning and the fun that we all had during our trip…..

Star Writers in P1a

Primary 1a have been very busy practising their ‘Have a Go’ writing. On Monday, we wrote a sentence about our Halloween party. The sentence said ‘I am at the party’. We then illustrated our sentences. After that, we assessed our writing by giving ourselves a traffic light – green, orange or red! “I liked drawing the picture to match my sentence!” said Pheobe. “I liked writing my sentence!” said Alicia.

Eco Heroes!

Primary 1a are Eco Heroes! We are doing all that we can to save energy in order to look after our planet, Earth. We designed posters to remind each class to switch off their computers when they are not in use. “Let them dream and go to sleep. Switch them off!” said Kaydence.
