Each group in Primary one planted Amaryllis, Crocus and Hyacinth bulbs. This caused great excitement as we waited to see which group’s Amaryllis would flower first. When we returned after the holiday weekend we had a lovely surprise as the red group’s had a beautiful big flowering head. A week later, the green and blue group’s plants began to flower too. Everyone has been admiring our lovely window display!
Primary 4 have completed a unit of work on Bicycles and Road Safety. Alick from Ed Cycles Co-op visited the school and carried out safety checks on some of the children’s bikes. He repaired any minor faults which he found (such as replacing brake pads or brake cables) and advised the children on any other repairs needed.
Primary Seven have been working very hard for our upcoming Burns Supper on Friday 13th February 2015. Guests will be treated to various performances from Burns’ most famous work as well as other Scottish artists.
The children in Primary 5 are enjoying learning about Wallace and Bruce and their part in The Wars of Independence. They have been using a range of media to find out information about William Wallace and the battles he fought in. All of the children created a newspaper article about The Battle of Stirling.
The children in Primary 3/4 are enjoying learning all about castles. They have transformed their class to have a royal banquet theme and the group of the week are rewarded by being able to sit at the “Royal Table”. At the moment, they are creating a wall display of a castle including a moat and a drawbridge. Over the coming weeks, they will work co-operatively in groups to plan and build their own castle model using recycled items.
Primary Seven had an amazing trip at Kilbowie last month. All pupils enjoyed their trip and acquired lots of new skills. Here are some more pictures!
The whole school took part in the Sign 2 Sing record breaking challenge on Friday 6th Feb. This involved singing a song and signing along with it using British Sign Language. The children really enjoyed learning the song and all the signs and performing it together at assembly. We also raised £91 for SignHealth, a deaf health charity. Thank you to everyone who donated! Now we just need to wait and see if we broke the world record for the most people signing and signing at the same time!
P1/2 have been learning about planets and stars through their Space theme. The children have enjoyed looking at the Solar System and ways to look at the planets from Earth. We used chalks to create pictures of the sun and the moon which was fun but very messy! The children were really interested in learning about the Northern Lights and created their own version of this using images from the internet as a stimulus.
This is group 3 & 4 having fun on the dry ski slope.
