Last week in Primary 4a we used a new app called ‘Explain Everything’ to display our research on Egyptian Pyramids. We worked with a partner to research pyramids and gather information then used our creativity skills to present our information in an engaging way
.
On Friday P7s used the creative enquiry room to demonstrate their learning on photosynthesis. They create models of a flower using crafts that showed the different parts of a flower. They also created a diagram showing and explaining the photosynthesis cycle. Finally the pupils set up an experiment that aims to show the effects of sunlight on plant growth and will monitor the results over the coming weeks. Hopefully by the end we will have a nice crop of coriander!

This week the children have been very busy getting ready for next weeks Easter Learning Showcase. Our learning has been focussing on expressive arts. We have been singing, using drama performance skills, playing instruments and creating art work to explore our Easter Topic. We have been working so hard and as always I am incredibly proud of what the children have achieved. Well Done P3a!
P6 have been learning about fairtrade, focussing on how climate change impacts the farmers and people who reply on agriculture for a living. We also looked at at how everyone in the production chain of our food is paid and the fairness of this.
it has been great to see the children so invested in this and so inquisitive throughout our learning!
In the playroom, we have been exploring the NHS-we have taken part in role play as doctors, created healthy meals, sorted food into food groups, explored the opticians, made our own glasses, measured out amounts and taken part in lots of experiments. 
This week in the Creative Enquiry Room P7a and P7b took part in experiments that helped demonstrate the causes and impacts of different Natural Disasters. The focus of the experiments was Earthquakes, Tornados and Tsunamis. P7 were able to show the process of liquification that occurs during some Earthquakes. They were also able to describe what causes a Tornado to form and what causes Tsunamis and the impact they have on coastal areas around the world.
Primary 4a have been learning about places of worship. We have worked hard to create dioramas that show the most common features that you would find in churches, mosques and gurdwaras. Next week we are going to visit a real church!
This week the JRSO members have been very busy, writing a script for a film they are going to make about road safety around our school. At the moment it is all at the planning stage.
Today primary 5 took part in many activities to celebrate our similarities and differences. The children participated in any discussions and tasks. Here are some photographs of the work that they produced today.
