Making a movie! February 2024

Today the JRSO started to make their video about road safety around the school. They have written a script and are embarking on including puppets to help promote the message for children to be careful when crossing the roads near the school.

P5a. February 2024

This week P5a have made great progress with their persuasive writing and our brochures about Scotland are nearly completed. They planned their work integrating topic and language skills to produce a convincing argument to have a holiday in Scotland.
We braved the weather to take our Maths outside to learn about compass points and angles in the environment. Later P5a  were able to transfer their skills into the classroom and measure angles with a protractor.

Ancient Egypt P3a

This week we have been focused on our Ancient Egypt topic. The children worked in groups to create these 3 dimensional maps of Egypt using salt dough and paint.

In our play area we had a go at making papyrus paper, created our own Tutankhamun portraits, and followed rhythm patters with instruments.

P6b Scots Week

P6b have been learning all about Scotland during Scots Week and through our current topic “Scotland”. We read together the wonderful book ‘Neeps and Tatties’ by Carey Morning and Anna York. This book gave us the chance to discuss friendship and diversity. We also had the opportunity to try and translate some Scots words to help us deepen our understanding of the book. After, we created our own Neep or Tattie character, describing their personality and appearance.

The children also got to create a timeline of Scottish events. We discussed these events and the impact they had on Scottish history.

Finally we explored tartan! The children carried out their own research on tartan to create a factfile. We spoke about clans and family tartans, some children discovered their own families tartan! We then created our own tartan using chalk pastels and some black card (which was a bit messy but lots of fun!).
