P4-7 sport leadership group did a great job and becoming teachers for the day! The were teaching p1-3 fun games for pe! ⚽️🏈🎾

P4/5 and P5/6 have been working hard to learn some famous Scottish ceilidh dances. We completed our block of dance this morning by doing a Dashing White Sergeant. There were lots of red faces and sore arms after it. What an ideal way to celebrate our national poet, Robert Burns.

We created our own version of Steven Brown’s ‘highland coos’! We had great fun using a variety of media to create these colourful coos!

We put little Lego characters in freezer bags full of water and put them in the freezer overnight. 

Then we discussed how we could melt the ice and set the Lego figure free. We decided to use warm water, salt and a spoon to help us.

We used the warm water and salt to help melt parts of the ice and the spoon was used to help chip the ice away.

After lots of problem solving and great teamwork, we successfully set our Lego figure free from the ice. What a fun way to end our Artic and Antartic topic. Well done P2/3

P4/5 enjoyed carrying out some experiments today using electric circuits. They found out about conductors and insulators and had to make predictions on a variety of materials. We discovered that metals are good conductors and rubber and plastic are insulators.

Today we completed some festive instructional drawings of a cute Gingerbread Man. We think they look really adorable!
