Primary 1 – It’s been a busy week…

We started off the week with a wonderful treat – the boys and girls got their book bug bags home.

In maths this week the boys and girls have been learning all about money. They have enjoyed sorting coins up to the value of £1, counting and matching amounts of money and role playing with the tills.

In art this week the children were learning about the primary colours and then used this knowledge to create their own piece of Mondrian Art.

Primary 1

In Primary 1 this week we have been learning to add. The children have been using concrete materials to visually see the sum in front of them. Miss Pattison and Miss Fox have been very impressed.

The Children are making good progress with their rhyme and cvc words. They enjoy using magnetic letters, salt and whiteboards to make the words.

P7’s day out at Hillpark

Last week P7 went to Hillpark for a STEM day.

First of all we made rockets to launch later that day. We made them out of card and sticky tape. Next we had our break and it was delicious.

Then we went to maths and learned how to find the average speed of our rocket. After that we went to science to launch our rockets outside to see how far they went.

After we launched our rockets we went for lunch. It was very tasty.

After lunch we tried to recreate our rockets in ICT. They were amazing. Here are some pictures from the day.

The boys and girls started blending this week and we were so impressed with their knowledge of their sounds and how they applied them to blending to make words.

P3/2 STEM: Exploring Forces with the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch

Primary 3/2 last week put into practice the excellent work they have been doing over the past term through their Science and STEM learning.

They applied their knowledge to forces, pushing and pulling, whilst designing a basket that made full use of their weaving skills. The children then created a pulley system just like Mr Grinling from their topic! Have a look below at the pictures:
