Eco Garden

The children across the whole school are working in the Eco Garden and using it as a place for outdoor learning. Each class have been assigned their very own flower bed to take care of. The children in Primary 3/4 have visited the garden for an art activity and the have also planted some flowers. The flowers will stay in their class room, where the children can look after them and water them until the warmer weather. Then they will transfer the flowers from their pots into a flower bed in the garden.

Primary 3/4 School Trip to Stirling Castle

Primary 3/4 have been learning all about castles and were able to visit Stirling Castle to learn more. This was the perfect opportunity to combine both the castle and the circus themes that they have explored this year. The first part of the day was set by the children as they led the way around the castle exploring the grounds and getting involved in some interactive learning.  After lunch, they had a guided tour by their very own court jester who also taught them some circus skills.

P3/4 Road Safety Day

Friday 27th March 2015 was Road Safety Day. The children in Primary 3/4 watched a video about Kerr, a young boy who was hit by a car and broke his leg. They discussed this scenario and the different emotions and difficulties around this situation. The children then took turns pretending to be Kerr in a drama activity. The rest of the class interviewed them and asked them about how they were feeling.

In another activity, the children created a story board about a road accident. They wrote about it and drew pictures to go along with the narrative.

They were also able to play a Road Safety game on the smart board. The game is similar to Snake and Ladders but the difference is, they had to answer questions about road safety correctly to be able to move around the board.P1020156 P1020157 P1020158 P1020159 P1020159 P1020160 P1020161 P1020162 P1020163 P1020164

Science Experiments – P3, P3/4 and P4

Some of the Primary 3-4 pupils have enjoyed carrying out Science Experiments during their Golden Time on a Friday afternoon.  So far they have made Lava Lamps using oil, water and salt, created explosive volcanoes and removed egg shells without breaking the eggs!!  The messier the experiment the better!!
