Feeling proud!
Have a look at what Primary 3 have been learning recently.
- We have been learning to design and create our own skateboard park after reading the novel “Alex the Walking Accident”.
Measuring is fun!
This week Primary 4 have been working hard and learning all about measuring. We have been measuring with rulers and metre sticks. We all got to measure a classmate to see how tall they are and had a go at some measuring games online. We really do love maths in Primary 4!
Our Eels!
The eels have arrived!
Paul and Willie came back to visit P6 today. They had an ‘eelly’ good time before so decided they wanted to work with us again.
They brought a few friends with them once again. We are now caring for European Eels. These are on the IUCN critically endangered list so we have a big responsibility to look after them.
Minibeast Outdoors!
As we have had super weather, Primary 4 have been outside working and exploring for Minibeasts. We all enjoyed working outside and we found some slugs, spiders and even a millipede!
We looked at the wonderful Balmalloch Bug Hotel that Mrs. McBride made a couple of years ago and discussed what was good about it and what we might add to attract more minibeasts to our hotel!
Roman Chariots
Last term our topic was the Romans and Primary 4 loved learning all about the Romans. As we were working really hard we ran out of time to do our design topic so we did it this term. We made Roman Chariots fit for racing in the Circus Maximus!
We used wood to build the T-Bar and carefully sawed the wood and used sandpaper to smooth it out. Next we glued it together. We designed our own body of the chariots, cut them out, stuck them together and then stuck them on to our T-Bar. Our chariots look great and fierce!
