P1/2 have taken responsibility for the planting tubs at the back of the school. They were very overgrown with weeds and enormous jaggy nettles and needed some serious TLC. The children spent Wednesday afternoon making a start on weeding the boxes. The children worked very hard and it was great to see them working together, sharing space, resources and all getting stuck in. They were also very excited to find
Primary 4 have been working really hard to learn their multiplication and division facts for the 7 times table! It’s a tricky one so we decided to create our very own ‘Fact Families’ Art to help remind us that if you KNOW 1 fact, you actually KNOW 4 ✅ Well done Primary 4! I absolutely love your stained glass window ‘FACT FAMILIES’ Art! 😁
The children have been caring for their sunflowers at home and haven’t they been doing a wonderful job? They are growing very tall and a few even have a bud forming at the top. Some children didn’t have success with their first seeds so they have planted new ones and are watching them grow. I can’t wait to see them when they start to bloom. Well done everyone.
All the caterpillars have changed into a cocoon. (Adam) During days 6 to 9 the caterpillars are going through lots of changes inside the chrysalis. We have to wait until they have hardened before moving them to a new habitat. On Friday, Miss Lalmy has removed all the silk surrounding the chrysalises and moved them into the netting in preparation for their metamorphosis into a butterfly. Primary 2 have discussed
We all had a fantastic day at the Glasgow science centre today. The children has great fun playing, exploring and learning together. They were extremely well behaved and a credit to Aitkenhead. We went to a workshop all about senses and the children loved it. They were able to use their sense of smell and touch to guess the objects in the feely boxes and the smell tubs. They didn’t stop
Primary 3 have loved learning about our human bodies. They can name lots of bones and tell you where in the body they are. They enjoyed measuring the humerus, ulna and radius bones in our arms and making shaving foam skeletons, which they labelled with the correct names. It got very messy but was lots of fun! In numeracy, they have been learning lots of the times tables and enjoyed
Today was all about preparation for our French Cafe on Wednesday 29th of May. Some of us prepared some Powerpoint Presentations to teach our visitors a little French. Others enjoyed our role-play area where we had a practise of being the waiter/waitress or the customer. It was great fun and a very busy afternoon. Please can you return the slip to say if you will be attending or not, if
Over the weekend we have had lots of changes! The pupils typed up their observations. The caterpillars have turned into cocoons. (Ross) Five of the caterpillars have turned into a chrysalis because they have eaten so much. (Eve) Photographs by Kyle (ICT expert)
A huge congratulations to all the pupils in P2 as they confidently spoke for 1 minute about a famous Scot as part of their homework task. I was blown away by your research and creativity preparing your own drawings or informative PowerPoints. Thanks to all the people at home for supporting you in achieving this. Well done! 🙂
Primary 2 had a wonderful surprise arriving into class on Thursday. We had 8 hungry caterpillars! We are going to be observing the changes they go through and writing about their life cycle. It was amazing because our class got to look after caterpillars. (Penny and Harry) They are brown and furry. (Eve) I was so surprised! (Theo)
