⭐️ What have we learned this week? ⭐️

”We learned about how a tsunami is created. A tsunami is created when an earthquake happens under the ocean. When the tsunami gets nearer to land, it gets bigger and destroys many buildings.I also enjoyed making a card on the computer and printing it out”- Tahreem

” We learned about superlative and comparative adjectives. Here is an example of a comparative adjective- ‘tall’ becomes ‘taller’ by adding ‘er’. Here is an example of a superlative adjective- ‘big’ becomes ‘biggest’. We add double ‘g’ because in the word big, the last two letters are a vowel then a consonant’”- Brodi

”I liked the spelling test because it’s easier now and I got full marks.”- Hanan

””I have learned about how to solve the division sums. I am good at it.”- Naina

”In Digi Hub, we learned how to make a card using Publisher. Me and Danish made a card for Miss O’Neill.”- Inam

“This week I enjoyed writing a story about natural disasters.”- Amna

“I done a test. It was about data handling. I got full marks and I am happy! 😊” – Liam

“I liked writing the newspaper report on the earthquake because you pretend it’s a real newspaper. I just like learning about natural disasters!”- Sorin

”I like learning Portuguese because it’s a new language to learn. This is how you say hello in Portuguese- “Ola!” – Andrew 👏🏼

“I like learning about different artists because they are colourful and pretty.”- Sadha

”I liked playing BUZZ.”- Fatima

”I liked writing the earthquake newspaper because it took a long time and it was cool.”- Robert

Perfect Patterns

January 25, 2019 by Mrs Marletta | 0 comments

Primary 1 are learning about pattern. They have been looking for patterns in the world around them, in buildings, in nature, in their own clothing (school ties are a great example!).

Today they had a go at creating their own patterns. They used shape and colour to create different repeated patterns. They used peg boards, beads, shape boards and arts & crafts to bring their patterns to life. They also used the interactive boards to complete a pattern challenge.

Ask them about what they learned today. Why not have a go at creating your own patterns, we would love to see what you come up with!

Steven Brown inspired art 🎨

As we approach Robert Burns’ day, we thought it was very apt to study a Scottish artist. We chose to look at the work of Steven Brown and his famous ‘McCoo’ painting.

We learned the meaning of ‘abstract’ art.

We discussed his style and technique in a group and formed our personal opinions about his art work. The majority of us really like Steven Brown’s abstract art work due to his use of vibrant colours.

We then used paint to re-create his McCoo painting. How do you think we got on? ☺️🎨

Presenting what we have learned! 👍

As you can tell from previous posts, our week has consisted of tornadoes, tornadoes and MORE tornadoes!

Today, in ICT, we worked with a friend to create a PowerPoint to showcase our learning from the week.

We can insert images from the internet, create snazzy backgrounds and edit text confidently! ☺ We then returned to class and delivered our presentation to the class.

🌪 The Fujita Damage Scale 🌪

⭐️ HELLO EVERYONE ⭐️

The Fujita Scale has six classifications to show the severity, strength and speed of a tornado.

We drew detailed pictures to illustrate the damage that is caused at each stage on the Fujita scale. Check them out! 👏🏼

G’Day from Primary 7b

Primary 7’s topic this term is Australia. We have been learning lots this week about Australian culture and customs. In ICT, we researched different cities in Australia and will use the information gathered to create our own interactive journals about the land Down Under.

Tornado Time 🌪

Primary 5’s new topic is Natural Disasters. This week, P5a have learned all about tornadoes 🌪

In maths, we are learning to read bar charts for information so we studied graphs that showed the number of tornadoes across different states in America. Yesterday, we were able to read the graphs effectively and interpret the data to answer questions.

In writing, we are excited to be learning how to write a newspaper report. We know this is called a ‘recount’. Today, we became journalists and planned our first newspaper report of a tornado that has occurred in the United States (it’s just pretend!) Keep your eyes peeled for our final reports… they will be published next week! 👀

This afternoon, the children LOVED taking part in the ‘tornado in a bottle’ experiment. We added a few ingredients to water in a plastic bottle, spun it around in a circular motion and watched the magic happen. They created something that looked like a vortex inside their bottle, making a mini tornado! I then filmed the children spinning their ‘tornadoes’ at different speeds to represent the diffferent stages on the Fujita damage scale. 👏🏼
