๐Ÿค“P1 Super Science Investigators! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

January 14, 2018 by Mrs Brown | 0 comments

Last week Primary 1 investigated โ€˜What might affect how far a toy car can travel?โ€™

They had great fun racing toy cars to see if the gradient of a hill (big or little) and surface (rough or smooth) would affect how far the red or blue car would travel.

We recorded all of our predictions and results – have a look at our photos to see what we found out….

Rights Week

Dear Parents,

This week is โ€˜Rights Weekโ€™. The children will be watching the film Paddington and will be completing activities based on the UNCRC rights. Our main aim will be to raise awareness of the rights of children, in particular refugee children. This is based on the Unicef Outright Campaign.

To raise awareness of childrenโ€™s rights around the world, they will be asked to wear Unicef blue or dress up as a superhero on Friday 12th January. You could design/make your own costume or adapt an existing costume. The children will be asked to find out about one of the rights and should be able to talk about it in class.

The children will have the opportunity to take part in a school video linked to Unicef. Please let us know if you would not like them to be included in this by Tuesday 9th January.

P2 Christmas Literacy

For literacy this week the P2 class watched Christmas TV adverts. This included the John Lewis Man on the moon advert from 2015. All of the children had their chance to share what they thought the advert was about. After revealing the message “show someone they’re loved this Christmas” we thought it would be a nice idea to make Christmas cards for all of the residents at Morningside Care Home.
