Our Planets are out of this world!

Room 1 have been completing a block of learning on Topical Science.  We have been following Tim Peake and his mission on the International Space Station as well as learning about space.

We researched a specific planet in our Solar System and created fact files on them.  We then used paper mache to create a model of our solar system.  We tried to make our models’ size to scale in relation to each other.

Have a look at our completed display! It’s out of this world! 🙂

Sit down for Breakfast Stand up for Farmers

It is Fairtrade Fortnight and our Fair Trade Committee did some interesting research to find out what Fairtrade means. They went for a visit to the Local Co-op to find Fair Trade products. We realised that some of our favourite foods like bananas,chocolate and blueberries, can all be Fairtrade and that this means the farmers who have grown these will get a better price for their crop.

The whole school got together to sit down for breakfast and stand up for farmers. P3100139[1]

World Book Day

For World Book Day the whole school took part in shared reading. The Primary 6/7 children paired up with Primary 1/2 class and the Primary 3/4 paired up with Primary 4/5.

The children shared their favourite books with each other and enjoyed reading part of their books to children from the other classes.

Our reader was using expression when she was reading. We both give her a thumbs up for super reading skills 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our reader kept us engaged by asking us questions through out the book.

 

 

We hope you have enjoyed looking through our World Book Day pictures, maybe you could read a part of your favourite book in celebration of this day.
