Primary 5 have been learning about angles in the school garden. They enjoyed looking for right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles and reflex angles.
We also loved working with Hidden Gardens to help develop our school gardens this week. We learnt about crop rotation and how to sow seeds. Hopefully our courgette, squash, french beans and runner beans will grow soon!
Today Primary 2 were in the Sensory Garden carrying out some of their garden chores. While we were weeding and tidying, we came across some fantastic mini beasts! Have a look at what we found. Can you name any of them?
Primary 2 have been discussing “The Learning Dip.” This is a point in your learning when you get stuck and think something is too hard. However, the boys and girls of P2 have learned about strategies to get back out of the Learning Dip.
Ben L – “To get out of the dip, you have to try and try again.”
Freya – “To get better, you need to reflect on your work to see how to improve it.”
Below is a link to the Class Dojo discussion videos so you can discuss them more at home!

Primary 2 and 2/3 have started learning skills to use during athletics activities. We have tried hurdles, long jump, shotput, relay races and sprinting. We are looking forward to improving our skills!
Primary 5 have loved learning about our new topic- The Rainforest and Deforestation. We enjoyed looking at the 4 layers of the Rainforest- the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory and the forest floor.
We have been making the most of the sunshine in PE. We worked together to measure how far we could jump in long jump. There are definitely some aspiring Olympic Athletes in the class!
We had great fun today doing our P.E. lessons out in the sunshine. We have just started our Athletics programme and focused today on different styles of jumps, such as long jump, standing jump and triple jump. We used our measuring skills to measure our partner’s jumps and recorded them in our maths jotters in metres and centimetres. Next time, we will estimate how far we can jump, record our jump then compare the two measurements.
Some children in Primary 2 have been asking for a copy of the Fairtrade Muffin recipe that we used on Wednesday. Here it is if any keen parents want to have a go! Remember to make sure you use Fairtrade ingredients where possible!
We have been learning about keeping safe in the kitchen as part of our Health and Wellbeing lessons this term. We have learned about safe and hygienic food preparation, storage and cooking.
All three classes enjoyed a visit from Mrs MacIntyre who taught us about germs and the importance of keeping our hands clean. She used a special light that showed up the germs on our hands before and after washing them. She also brought her cuddly germ friend to tell us that not all germs are bad germs.
Thank you Mrs MacIntyre.
Primary 5 have had a busy time at school learning new things and taking part in different opportunities.
In maths, we have been learning about division. We made the most of the sunshine and practised our sums outside.
We have also been looking at the artist Piet Mondrian. We created some of our own paintings in the style of his work and we listened to swing music whilst we painted, just as Piet Mondrian did!
We really enjoyed cooking our fairtrade breakfast in the learning kitchen. We made blueberry and banana breakfast muffins and they were delicious! We used as many fairtrade products from the Co-Operative as we could.
Thank you to all parents, carers and partner agencies that supported our Chryston cluster Health and Wellbeing event at Chryston High. Mrs Burke will attached her presentation on online safety for all that were unable to attend this event.
