Solar Eclipse!
P6 had an amazing opportunity today to see the solar eclipse! We all went out with our special glasses on. It was really cloudy and we didn’t think we would see anything but we did see when the clouds cleared! Sophielee said the sun looked like a banana as the moon covered it! Keira said the sun we could see looked like a strip of fire. Kenzie thought it looked like a paper cut out with orange paper underneath and black paper on top. Lewis thought the sun looked like a smiley face. As the moon covered more of the sun it started to get dark then as the moon moved on, it got lighter again. P6 thought it was beautiful and overwhelming!
P5 Comic Relief
The whole school took part in a day of fundraising for comic relief where they participated in a danceathon. The children in primary 5 also completed other comic relief activities during the day and learned a lot about the charity. The children all had a chance to play a board game that described the difficulties of a child in Africa attending school. All of the children designed a new red nose for comic relief and came up with some great ideas, giving them names and superpowers. They also had a chance to create a red nose day monster using their knowledge from their shape topic. Throughout the day the children in primary 5 did a lot of dancing. Every time they heard a song they had a dance and in the afternoon the open area was transformed in to a dance floor where many of the children displayed some great moves. The children also attended a zumba class during the day.
P5 Swimming
Primary 5 have now completed their 12 week block of swimming lessons. The children really enjoyed taking part in both the swimming and the badminton lessons. All of the children participated well and learned new skills both in and out of the pool. They will now use this information and the new skills learned to create a video in ICT. This will be used to inform the children going to the lessons next year what to expect and how to get ready for the lessons.
Fairtrade fortnight was 23/2/15 to 8/3/15. During the two weeks children had the opportunity to learn a bit about Fairtrade. We also had a Fairtrade tuckshop which the children enjoyed. Well done to the Fairtrade committee who organised and managed the tuckshop.
