Parents and Carers Try IZAK 9
Primary 5 would like to say a big thank you to everyone who was able to make the open event on Friday morning. We had a great time sharing our IZAK9 resource with you and showing you how we work together in our teams to solve the problems. We were very impressed at your problem solving skills and your German and French skills! We are glad you can now see how we have fun in maths!
QUAKING TIME IN P7
Today in p7 we had a parent’s open day. Our task was to build an earthquake proof building using marshmallows, straws and toothpicks. In addition the criteria stated that our buildings should be at least 25cm tall and have two stories. Once we had finished our buildings we tested them out by putting them on a tray of jelly and shaking the tray. If the building did not collapse then we would have a second test by putting a weight on it if it didn’t collapse with a weight on it we would put another weight on! During our task we had a false earthquake alarm and we all got under the tables and pulled our chair in, all the parents began to laugh (which you really shouldn’t do if there is a real earthquake.) We had a good result, none of buildings fell down!!!!

Rainbow Research – Primary 4
As part of our weather topic, we have been researching how rainbows are formed and finding out other interesting facts. We also carried out an experiment to create our own rainbow in the classroom, by using a jar of water, a sheet of plain white paper and the power of the sun. During the Open Day on Friday, we are going to be making our own rainbow collages, using mixed media, such as crepe paper, tissue paper, foil, felt and other materials in all the different colours of the rainbow.
Cool Characters
Primary 5 have been working hard this week to finish reading their novels. In pairs, the children were asked to summarise their novel thinking about what happened in the beginning, the middle and at the end. They then chose a character from the novel to draw on a big poster. Children then wrote their summaries on the back of their super drawings and they are now hanging from our ceiling for everyone to read. Well done for working so hard as a team!
There’s a rainforest in Primary 3.
The Amazon Rainforest is coming alive in room 8. We are working very hard everyday making the layers of the rainforest. Primary 3 are having so much fun!!
Two more layers to go!
AMAZING 3D ARTWORK AND QUIZED QUESTIONS
Numeracy
P5 have been learning about 3D shapes. We have found some unusual shapes. We made 3D shapes from nets which is how they look when they are folded out.
Literacy
In literacy we made up some questions about our novels for a partner. We swapped with our partner to answer their questions and then we had to mark their answers against our success criteria. Our success criteria was: to write our answers in full sentences, to use information from our book to answer the questions and to write the page number of where we found the information.

Primary 6 Picture Gallery
Haggis Neeps ‘n’ Tatties!
Our Very Own Tartan
Burns’ Supper Posters
Burns’ Supper
Primary 6 where very busy in class learning all about Robert Burns in preparation for our burns supper which was on Thursday the 21st of January. Everyone who came had an excellent time. It was a night to remember!
We learned about all different types of tartan and made our own design of tartan, and we also found out that people in our class have their own family tartan.
We learned the meanings some of the Scots dialect that was heard at the burns supper during some of our poems and songs.
Recently we drew some charcoal drawing of Robert burns, it got messy and there was charcoal everywhere but we still had fun doing it.
Half of the primary six class made haggis, neaps and tatties while the other half of the class made invitations and posters for our Burns Supper. After we made the food the whole class got to try a bit some people didn’t want to because they thought that they might not like it but after a little taste of the food everyone loved it
We all had fun with our Burns’ Supper and are looking forward to our next topic which is Scotland’s Time Lords.
