Our School Trip :-)

Just a little reminder that Rooms 5 and 6 will be going on their class trip on Monday 11th March.

  • Pupils should wear leggings or joggers (dark colour) on the bottom and their usual school jumper/polo shirt.
  • A waterproof jacket and older trainers would be helpful in case it is wet or muddy.
  • Packed lunches should be brought to school in a throw away bag.

We are really looking forward to our trip and we hope that the sun makes an appearance for us. Look out for some photos next week on our class pages.

World Book Day

Yesterday we celebrated World Book Day 2024. Here are some of the things that we had fun doing!

“We had to design a new book cover that was not the same as the real cover. I drew Charlie and I drew a chocolate bunny and chocolate buttons.”

“The Primary 7s made a little podcast for us to listen to and Ms Higgins was in it and it was all about her and her love of books. They said about bookmarks on it.”

“We did a book quiz in class and it was quite tricky for us all. We had to answer the questions and use clues from books.”

“We had Room 17 come down to our class and read our books with us for buddy reading. My partners were Ava and Amelia.”

“We were wearing our pyjamas to school.”

“We read a bit of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and it was good.”

We had a wonderful day celebrating all things reading and books. Please check school bags for book tokens which were sent home with every child.

Our Week in Room 16

Another packed and exciting week in Room 16! Our highlight this week has to be World Book Day, we loved the quiz that Primary 7 made for us and the podcast. We also did some buddy reading with Room 2 and enjoyed reading to the Primary 1’s.

We have introduced a new explorer topic and have began to research all about our earth and all the different areas of the globe that have been discovered.

For numeracy, we have been working hard to challenge ourselves with some 4 digit multiplication sums and have been finding success in using our carrying method to solve these!

 

We hope you have a lovely weekend and thank you for reading our blog.

We’ve had an incredibly busy week in Room 21! Here are just a FEW of the things we’ve been getting up to this week:

Our P6s presented their solo talks on some European capital cities, our P7s began some mini poster projects on topics of their own choosing and also finished up their 13 week block of swimming lessons, we celebrated World Book Day by taking part in a book quiz and buddy reading with room 11 (which we loved!), we shared our topic learning at Friday’s assembly and we were also able to celebrate the success of our classmate as he came 1st place in the P6 boys Cross Country local heats. He’ll be taking part in the South Lanarkshire finals in a couple of weeks. Take a look through some of the photos of our highlights this week:

Room 9 Science Centre Trip

Room 9 had a fantastic trip to the Science Centre this week. We have to say a big thank you to our parent helpers who gave up their time to come and help the class. Mr Allen was very proud of our behaviour.

When we arrived we went straight to the Planetarium. Most of the class thought that this was the best activity of the day.  When the show started the room got very dark but Mr Allen had us prepared because we knew that our eyes would adjust after a minute and he was right. It was amazing seeing all the stars in the sky. We found out about different constellations and we now know how to find the North Star in the sky.  Lindsay, who was our guide, demonstrated why we have the seasons, why we have day and night and why there is 24 hours and 365 days. For the final part we got to see all the different orbits of the planets in our solar system.

After the Planetarium we had our lunch in Clyde Suite and Mr Allen was so happy with us because we put all our rubbish in the bin and tidied up all of our mess on the floor. In the afternoon we went round the rest of the Science centre. We managed to see almost everything and it was all so much fun.

One exciting extra was getting to see the Waverly docked beside the Science Centre. Unfortunately they are still getting it ready for the summer season so we could not get very close to the ship. We did managed to take a photograph of us all in front of the Waverley.

It was a great trip but we were all very tired at the end of the day.

Hello everyone,

Yesterday we had great fun celebrating World Book Day.

We came to school dressed in our pyjamas and cosy clothes.

We designed our own bookmarks.

We adopted the role as authors and created our own books – some adventure stories, activity and joke books and fact files on sea creatures!

Our P4 buddies came to read with us.

We took part in a fun quiz created by our wonderful Reading Ambassadors.

And we read lots and lots of stories throughout our day. Have a look below at a snapshot of some of our activities.
