Primary 1/2 have been super, duper busy since we came back from our Easter holidays!
We had a lovely time celebrating the King’s coronation! Our friends in the Biggies came to help us make empire biscuits. It was very hard not to eat them straight away as they looked so yummy! We managed to wait until the afternoon then we tucked into lots of tasty treats at our coronation party. We even modelled the fancy crowns we made for ourselves!
The whole school had an exciting day when we got on a bus that took us all the way to the Forth Bridge Education Centre! We learned all about the amazing bridges we could see and then worked as part of a team to build our own bridges. Our bridges were strong enough to hold lots of cars! Well, toy cars but we did only have paper and sticky tape to build them…
In maths, we were introduced to some little friends; the BeeBots! BeeBots really like it when you give them directions to follow! We had to think carefully about whether we wanted them to go forwards or backwards, left or right and even clockwise or anti-clockwise. We had some minor crashes but thankfully no BeeBots were harmed!
We have been learning all about our five senses this term. We have been using our ears to do good listening and follow instructions. We also talked about the way that sound travels in waves when we made our own telephones so we could talk to our friends. We also did a fun smell test where we had to guess what the smell was; there was no peeking allowed! We found lots of smells that we liked and one or two that we weren’t so keen on! Next step; taste testing! 🙂
Have a look at what we’ve been up to in our new video:
