Book week Scotland

We have been so busy this past week!

on Tuesday a few of us got to read to the primary 2 class in the sensory garden. It was wet and cold but we still enjoyed it!

we also went to Pollokshields library on Tuesday. We got to choose our own book and bring them back to school to read them

on Friday we were shown a really cool experiment on changing energy from the Students who are visiting us from Oman. They showed us how to turn liquid into gas using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar and trapping the air in the balloon. We were so impressed!

while the boys are swimming the girls have been going some drama. This week we studied ‘the tunnel’ by anthony Browne. We got to play siblings and imagine what characters would say to their peers, and create our own spooky forest for our classmates to walk through.

finally, inspired by the pictures in the book, we created our own subtle clues for fairy tales out of play doh.  An you guess what stories each colour represents?

P7a so far

Here are some photos of what we have been up to in term two so far
