Primary 4 enjoyed experimenting with different quantities of the beetroot, carrots, kale, runner beans and radish seeds that we harvested from the garden yesterday and added water to make healthy energy smoothies in class. We had fun tasting the different flavours! Next time we think we’ll add honey to make them more palatable! 😀
The boys and girls went into the community garden today to see what has been growing in the vegetable patches. They were amazed by how many different things had grown over the summer! We tasted some fresh peas, apples and runner beans and plan to make a Nutriblast Smoothie tomorrow with vegetables from the garden. Stay tuned to see if our recipe is successful!
Primary 4 are hoping to enter one of the categories in the Chryston Horticultural Society’s Garden Competition this year. They are to design a garden themed creation using Lego! They had a great time working co-operatively today to try and make a suitable entry. Fingers crossed!
Our first event organised by Active Schools will soon be upon us! Girls in Primary 4 will be given the opportunity to attend the girls festival on the 15 September where they will have the opportunity to try out a range of sports. We hope to hold a lunchtime club for the few weeks before the event to help prepare the girls. Look out for more information in the next couple of weeks.
Today, Primary 4 had a go at creating their own Picasso inspired artwork. Here are some of the finished pieces!
The new Primary 4’s enjoyed a team building activity this morning where they had to work together to build the tallest freestanding tower using tape, skewers and marshmallows.
All the boys and girls worked brilliantly together and some teams managed to make a tower over 30cm high! Well done P4, I am excited for our year ahead. Miss O’Neill
We had a fabulous time celebrating the 50th anniversary of our school. We had great fun taking part in the scavenger hunt then had a look at all the wonderful enterprise stalls, including our own. Then we had some of the delicious cakes and refreshing drinks. We came back into the hall and worked with our parents, carers and other family members on making our newspaper plant pots. Once our pots were made, we filled them with compost and sprinkled some seeds into the soil. A fantastic time was had by all.
We had great fun today making our bird houses for the Garden Party. First of all we had to build our bird houses, then we used acrylic paint to paint the background and then we finished them off by using glitter, sequins and gems.
We had fun in the garden with Paula from Hidden Gardens. Some of us helped to put compost on the vegetable garden, another group raked up the grass that had just been cut and the final group watered the flowers and plants.
We took advantage of the gorgeous weather to look for 2D shapes and 3D objects around the playground. Among the shapes and objects we found were square shapes (wooden posts and drains), rectangle shapes (windows), cuboid shape (container) and a sphere (football).
