P5 Hockey

P5 have been enjoying hockey lessons delivered by a coach from the local hockey club. They are playing fun games including ‘King of the ring’ and ‘Freeze,’ If you would like to know how to play these games, please ask one of our P5’s. 🙂

P5 Easter Bonnets

P5 had a very busy week. They worked in small groups to design, resource and make Easter Bonnets. Their success criteria for the task was to work cooperatively in their groups and make sure they all took an equal part in the design and in making the bonnet. The children worked very hard and put together some marvellous creations!!! Fantastic work P5 😀👍🎩🐤🐣🐥🦋🐰

P5 Special Diet Presentations

P5 have been working in small groups to research different special diets. Four different diets were studied: Vegetarian, Halal, Celiac and Diabetes. Pupils had to prepare information posters and present their findings to the class. Children had to listen carefully to the facts for the three diets they had not researched and they had to record any new facts they learned. Great work P5!

P7 French Food

P7 have been learning french foods and creating their own personal menus. Some children have been able to use their menus to role play as a waiter/waitress and customer. Super effort P7!

Wall of Happiness

All the children in Aitkenhead Primary designed their own yellow brick which showed something that made them happy. They did this as we celebrated ‘International Day of Happiness.’ These were all collected and displayed on our ‘Wall of Happiness.’ Such a wide range of things make our children happy from playing with friends to eating chicken to playing fortnite!
