On Tuesday morning p3/4/5 went on a class trip to the woods. As part of our topic this term we have been learning all about Scotland’s landscape and famous landmarks. We were all very excited, especially after the horrible rain cancelled our trip on Friday. We found lots of interesting things in the woods, meet lots of little creepy crawly friends and even saw the fairy lands! We loved using our magnifying tubs to collect and examine what we found. What a great morning!

We have been learning about our rights and began working on our class charter. We decided that our charter would be an underwater theme, where we would become scuba divers! We voted as a class and decided that our top 3 rights for our charter would be:
Article 3- All adults should do what is best for you
Article 24- You have the right to a clean and safe environment
Article 42 – You have the right to know your rights!

We were all very excited to get back to school after a long summer and meet our new teacher! We have had a great first month back and most of us have loved exploring our new classroom. We started in August by having a hard think what our goals could be for this year . Everyone is very determined to try their very best to achieve these goals by June.

The Buddies!
Here’s an update!
Before the holidays, we were looking at data handling and the use of Microsoft Excel! We did a fantastic job of collecting and inputting data using our iPads, and created a variety of different charts such as pie charts, bar charts and column charts!
LI – to collect data and display it using Microsoft Excel.
We were also working on equations!
We took our learning outside and completed it using chalk!
LI – to solve problems when an unknown number is a letter or a symbol.
We were also practicing our spelling words using different resources such as building blocks and jigsaw pieces!
LI – to use a variety of resources to revise my spelling words.
We worked hard to create allergy safe energy balls! We imagined that we were explorers, and we thought about what we would need to prepare us, and provide us with energy! We used a nut-free alternative to peanut butter, sunflower seeds, multi seeds, some chocolate chips, oats and a touch of maple syrup!
Within our topic work, we used a mini beast of our choice to create a poster and then presented it to our fellow classmates! We used outdoor resources to create our mini beast before recording and displaying information on it using our iPads.
LI – to use outdoor resources to create a mini beast.
LI – to create and present a poster on a mini beast of my choice.
Happy Holidays from all The Buddies! 👏🏽☀️

LI – to create an Easter egg using a variety of materials.
The buddies created their very own Easter eggs, they had to follow a process in order to build their design and ensure that it stayed in one piece! They used their creative thinking skills within the process, and were able to mix organic flour with water to create a papier mache paste. We also found items to add – which made the substance last longer.
They chose their own designs for the egg, and went through the step by step process of creating layers for their egg and then painting it using a variety of bright and vibrant colours!
LI – to use our problem solving skills to find answers.
The buddies also had lots of fun during their Easter orienteering around the school! They worked independently to find answers and could then use their skills, to work with others and give each other a hand or a clue!
Well Done P4/5/6!
Happy Easter!

This afternoon, P4/5/6 spent some time taking photographs around our school. Inspired by a range of professional photos, we tried to take pictures from interesting angles. We went up high, got down close to the ground and even dangled upside down to get the perfect shot! Check out the amazing results of our hard work! 🙂

Primary 4/5/6 had a fabulous morning writing poems about our playground. We found some interesting items to write about then added some description using adjectives and alliteration. Once our poems were written down it was time to think about performing them. We explored using different tones and volumes to make our voices sound more interesting. Some of us even added actions to keep our audiences entertained!
I’m sure you’ll agree that everyone did a fantastic job! Well done all! 🙂
