Garden Committee
Inspired by artist Andy Goldsworthy, our Garden Committee created this beautiful picture using materials found in our gardens. This work of art was created using leaves, crab apples, small branches, pebbles and netting.
P5/6 Designing and building in the garden.
Primary 5/6 were in the garden clearing the vegetable beds and when we were finished, the pupils found garden canes. They came rushing over to me and asked if they could build a Tipi; this was a house that the pupil’s had been learning about during our Native American topic.
It was great to see the enthusiasm and determination, but also to hear them discuss the design and how they were going to build it. They tried several ways to keep it up and after a few attempts, they managed to built the structure with the correct shape and made the space larger so that they could fit one of them inside. As you can see from their faces, the team effort paid off. A very proud teacher and a very creative class: Well Done P5/6!
P4 Ancient Egyptian Timeline
The boys and girls have been working co-operatively in groups to research different time periods during the Egyptian era to make fact files. They will then use these to create a chronological class timeline. (That means putting the events in time order!)
P7 Diplomatic Debate
P7 have been learning about the European Union and how new laws are passed. Today we had a mock debate about creating a new EU law for age-restricted books. We heard some excellent arguments both for and against. I think we have a few politicians in the making!
P4 Archaeological Dig
The boys and girls took part in an dig today to excavate some historical artefacts. They were asked questions to make them think more about the artefacts.
What do you think it is?
Who do you think it belonged to?
What do you think it was used for?
Where do you think it was found?
What is it made from?
Here are the P4 Archaeologists!
Teamwork makes the dream work!
P1 are developing their teamworking skills in PE and in the classroom. They had to take turns to collect jigsaw pieces before completing the jigsaw puzzle as a team. I was so proud of your great effort today! 😀
This Week in P1
Maths
We had great fun learning all about the number 4. We used the iPads, Lego and paint. We also did a super job at helping Miss Scott to tidy up after all of our hard work.
Reading
We loved using finger torches during our reading lesson. We shone the light on the words as we read them and this helped us to follow the text.
PE
In PE we worked very hard to move our bodies in a controlled way through Bilateral Integration activities. We gently tapped our partner’s arms or legs and they had to lift the limb that was tapped. This is also helping us with our concentration and our ability to follow instructions.
P2 Measure Madness!
Primary 2 have been learning about the different types of measure; Length, Weight and Volume. The boys and girls have practised measuring length and height in centimetres and metres, weight in grams and kilograms and volume in milliletres and litres. They loved using water and sand to help them measure!
New P4’s Meet the Teacher!
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
