Today was a very strange day because the class had crazy hair. However, Mr Allen forgot, so we had to design a Crazy hair style for him to do next year. Mr Allen and Ms Ferguson were very impressed with all of the efforts with our hair this morning, thank you to all the grown ups for helping. Here is a picture below of our class.

Room 1 – Museum of Rural Life 🐮🐖🐑🐴🚜

What an amazing day we had at the Museum of Rural Life on Thursday!

We started our day with a Farm to Fork workshop where we matched foods from their sources, this was a tricky task! We then looked at different plates of food and tried to identify all the ingredients in the meal. Finally we took part in a quiz!

Then it was time to face the rain and head up to the farm. Everybody did an amazing job walking through the mud and puddles, not a moan from anyone, they were absolute superstars.

When we reached the farm we saw calves, horses, chickens, sheep and piglets. So cute!

We headed back to the museum and had our lunch. Then we spent time exploring the tractor store and the Garden Detectives room.

Finally, it was back on the bus to sing Golden and Wheels on the Bus!

We all had a brilliant day and I am sure we were all in our beds early🤣😴

Room 6 – Using The INDI Robots

This term, we have been busy exploring coding and problem-solving using the INDI Robots, and the classroom has been full of excitement, teamwork and fantastic thinking!

We have explored how the INDIs work. We discovered that the robot follows coloured tiles placed on the floor. Each colour tells INDI what to do — move forward, turn left or right, speed up, slow down or stop.

The class quickly realised that robots need clear and careful instructions. If the tiles weren’t in the correct order, INDI didn’t reach its destination — which led to lots of great discussion about what went wrong and how to fix it.

Although it looks like play (and it certainly is fun!), the children were developing important skills like:

Sequencing – understanding what comes first, next and last
Directional language – using left, right, forward and stop correctly
Problem-solving – identifying mistakes and improving solutions
Collaboration – listening to others and sharing ideas
Perseverance – not giving up when something didn’t work

Welcome to room 7’s blog. We have been really busy the last couple of weeks exploring Scottish mythical creatures. Last week we used AI to design our own images of the Loch Ness Monster, using different adjectives. Here are some of the monsters we created!

We also designed and made our own Loch Ness monsters using clay and wrote Haiku poems about them. This week we have been learning all about the Kelpies at the Falkirk wheel because it is the Chinese year of the horse.

Here are some more of the things we have enjoyed over the last couple of weeks:
