P5/6 Titanic Cabin Creations
Here is a clip of us building our Titanic cabin models. If you listen carefully, you can hear one of the boys singing a rendition of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at the end 😂
P5/6 Dream Designer
This clever boy has created a Titanic model using his favourite video game. Excellent work!
Technology fun in P5
Today in class we started to make 3D first class cabin rooms from the Titanic. As you can see the class have lots of great ideas and we are looking forward to seeing the finished product!
P5/6 Titanic Homework
This clever cookie used Minecraft on his PS3 to create a fantastic model of the RMS Titanic and the deadly iceberg . Isn’t it fantastic?
P4 Birds of the Future!
P4 designed their own birds of the future, complete with suitable adaptations to live in a world different from the present. Some had the ability to live underwater, some could glow in the dark and others were adapted to eat litter! What an imaginative class!
The Wonders of Electricity
Primary 5/6 pupils have enjoyed learning about different aspects of electricity. As they progressed and deepened their knowledge of the impact that electricity has on their lives and how vital this is in today’s modern living, I taught the pupil’s about circuits and the journey that electricity takes to reach the circuit.
At the end of the block of teaching and learning, the class had the challenge of working out how to build a circuit. Some were to make a bulb light up, whilst others got a fan and a buzzer to work. Some progressed onto adding circuit breakers and even adding more to their circuit to make the bulb even brighter. What an achievement and I am so proud that they were highly motivated and each thoroughly enjoyed the time spent carrying this out.
P4 Charles Rennie MacKintosh Keynotes
Today, we worked with a partner to start a keynote presentation using the i-pads about the famous Scottish artist and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We practised how to insert text and images to our presentations and also how to add cool effects! We can’t wait to finish them!
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 get creative with Lego!
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!
