The youngest class in Banton Primary!
Because we have started to see lots (and lots) of Christmas lights, today we learned about electricity!
We experimented with making circuits, connecting a battery to a lightbulb (with the help of some crocodile clips).
Luckily there were no shocks and we managed to light the bulb. Electrifying stuff!
Good news! There are some spelling challenges waiting for you if you log into Sumdog!
You are very welcome!
This creative pupil asked if she could show off her pattern work today.
Ok then!
As part of our Young Business Kids topic, our classroom turned into the Banton Bairns Chocolate Factory today!
Last week we made up recipes for our very own chocolate! Our recipes involved melting chocolate, adding our own choice of ingredients and mixing it all together, before pouring it into special trays.
Here we are, hard at work making our chocolate:
Right now, our chocolate is hardening in special fridges (NOT Mr McNab’s tummy) and when it’s ready, we will be wrapping them up and trying to sell them to our unsuspecting families.
Mummys, Daddys, Grans, Grandads…get your money ready!
Hello!
Today we received some homework, which we were all strangely excited about! You can find out all about it on our homework page.
As a reward for working so hard in class, we visited Banton Park!
Mr McNab had never been before so we had to show him the thirty second walk to get there.
It was worth the long journey though; We had lots of fun on the swings, the roundabout and even the zipline!
We had a spookily fun day celebrating Halloween in school!
Mr Johnstone and some of the Biggies invited us to toast marshmallows at the fire pit! Yummy (and hot!)
We pinned tails on a cat!
Then, after all that fun, we needed some energy. Time for Halloween snacks!
Fully recharged, we took part in the Mummy Challenge! It was fun wrapping our friends in paper!
We had a super Halloween. Only 364 days to go until the next one!
The Force is strong in Primary 1-3…
A great example of what we can achieve when we work together…
We baked bread as part of our Harvest work!
First, we mixed flour, baking powder, salt, oil and water together in a bowl, and mixed it all together!
Then, we rolled out the dough and made different shapes!
Finally, we put our dough into the grill to bake it!
After an agonising 10 minute wait, our bread was cooked and ready to take home to be covered in nutella, jam or anything else our hearts desired!
