This week P2b started doing short daily writing tasks to help them build their skills in using vocabulary, connectives, punctuation and sentence structure. This has allowed pupils to further develop their already excellent writing skills.
At the science centre on Thursday First we went to go see the planetarium room we got to see a bunch of stars and planets we even got to see inside of Saturn’s rings.When we were going to another planet or star there was an orb that made it feel like we were moving.Meanwhile after that we had a snack downstairs then after that we went to floor three.There were stuff like skeletons and there was a dance room as well there was also a little skeleton tunnel that you could crawl through.I tried the pull up thing and I tried to run as fast as a cheetah it was very cool.There was also two jumping things one was something where you try to jump as light as you can I tried it and when I did it I jumped so lightly it said something went wrong are you there no joke the other one told you how high you jumped and I think it was rigged because it kept on saying 1m 48cm no higher.Also there was this mind set you have to relax and keep still there was this little ball that moves when you are relaxed when you get the ball to the other persons side you win but if the ball comes to your side they win.On level two there was a pattern memory game were you can pick levels like hard easy or medium so basically it made a pattern to get to the end and you step on the blocks that light up and if you step on the wrong one you lose.on level one there was a upside down room everyone loved it and there was a little room that it looked that you where big one one side and one the other side it looked like you where tiny.Then last we had some lunch went on a bridge and saw the oldest steamboat in Glasgow.

This Week In P7a
This week we’ve been taking a lot of learning outdoors: working on our golf game at the pitch, and calculating speed, distance and time in the playground.
We successfully used S = D/T to calculate our speeds over a series of distances. We also applied this knowledge to a range of activities in the classroom.

Play in P1c
The children have loved exploring our space topic in the playroom this week. There was lots of creativity, curiosity and collaboration. Well done P1c.
Photography
Our first IDL block this term is focussing on photography. We have been working on our camera skills, looking at different angles and shots.
We took what we learned outdoors, and were very creative in our work. Look at some of the fantastic pictures we took on our iPads! I think we have some budding photographers in p6a!
