Primary 7 Science Workshops at Kilsyth Academy

The Primary 7’s from all the local feeder schools took part in a super Science Workshop yesterday.  The children were involved in 6 different, hands on science experiments in small mixed groups of 3 or 4 pupils.  The senior pupils leading the experiments were knowledgeable and worked well with the children.  It was a super addition to the transition programme that the Academy already run.  The children from Balmalloch were really enthusiastic about their experience – a great morning.

Safe Halloween

We have been reading a short piece about Halloween safety. Here are some of the tips we would like to share with you all:

Ryan- Stay away from people you don’t know.

Ronan- When you are crossing the road take your mask off so you can see.

Hannah- Be careful next to pumpkins that have candles.

Andrew- Stay away from clowns.

Steven- Wear reflective clothes so that drivers can see you.

Fraser- Have a flashlight.

Lewis- Make sure your costume isn’t too long or you will trip.

Aaron- Don’t walk away from parents.

Lewis- Don’t go into other peoples houses.

Freya- Always tell your parents where you are going.

Kenzie- Stay away from strangers.

Christopher- Don’t eat any strange looking candy.

 

P4 Halloween Afternoon

On Friday, we had great fun in our base where we did a variety of Halloween activities. We made Witches Hats which we quickly ate, wrote some spooky stories and made some terrifying ghosts! We played games and pulled some scary poses.

We had a really fun afternoon on Friday. All of the children dressed up and enjoyed fun activities. The infants played pass the parcel, Halloween corners, danced the Hokey Cokey and the cha cha slide and enjoyed the parade around the school.
