P6 have enjoyed learning about our Ancient Worlds this term, when finding out about life in Ancient Rome the children were inspired to create their own pictures and designs using the ancient Roman mosaic style. 
STEM Afternoon
Primary 2 had on their engineering heads at the STEM afternoon when they had to design and build their own freestanding Christmas tree. Lots of planning and team work when on in the classroom.
It has been a busy term for primary 2 and we would like to share some of our learning with you.
We looked at the life of the Egyptians and made jewellery.
We also write our names in hieroglyphics.
Friction and Fractions in 5b
Our focus recently in maths has been fractions and decimals. We have been learning how to find a fraction of a quantity and being able to identify equivalent fractions. We used the Lego blocks to show different fractions.
We are now looking at decimals and money.
It was nice to be able to share some of our science knowledge during our open afternoon. We were continuing on with our friction topic by looking at air and water resistance and how we can reduce friction by streamlining.
Wave Art – P3a
Take a look at our WOW wall, displaying all of the children’s beautiful wave paintings from our Oceans IDL topic.

P5a
P5a have been very busy. In language we are focusing on report writing. Your child is making a comprehensive report about our topic Natural Disasters. They can then use this as part of their presentation in the next couple of weeks. We have successfully covered fractions, decimals in number and are ready to tackle money before the end of term. Everyone has worked hard to learn and improve their own strategies to complete any task.
We are delighted that girls from P5 were among the Dancers who won their heat at Springburn Academy. On Friday afternoon the class were able to display some of the activities we have been completing weekly as part of our STEM topics. Unfortunately I forgot to take any photographs!
This class love an opportunity to learn!
P3 Playground Litter Pick
As part of our whole school Eco Action Plan, P3 were given the aim to improve the environmental quality of the school. Last Friday both P3a and P3b worked as a team to pick up all the litter in our playground. The children had a brilliant time using the litter pickers and working together. Afterwards the children created their own posters to encourage others to keep our school litter free and help us achieve our aim.
Stem afternoon
P6 enjoyed the stem challenges linked to our Ancient Egyptians context for learning. The children showed great teamwork and problem solving skills when using a variety of resources to build pyramids and working chariots. 
Novel study
This term p6 have been reading the book ‘Coraline’ for our novel study. This week the children were able to create their own board game showing the journey of the character and challenges faced throughout the book. P6 showed a great knowledge of the book as well as fab creativity and teamwork. Well done!
