Celebrating Robert Burns

January 24, 2017 User deactivated 2 Comments

The pupils in primary six have been working very hard for the past few weeks learning all about Robert Burns and the traditions of a Burns’ Supper. All that hard work was displayed on Thursday night when they held their very own Burns’ Supper for their families, teachers and invited guests. The pupils delivered a professional event with confidence, humour and excellent behaviour. They all worked very hard preparing for this in school and also at home with the help of their family members.

A great time was had by all!

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!

Lego Ice Experiments in P2/3

January 20, 2017 Miss McIntosh 2 Comments

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

Primary 4 children have been working on their drawing skills and the skill of blending using chalk pastels. We used a picture of the famous Eilean Donan castle to help us make our work look realistic.

Today’s learning intention was to write an information report. The children had to include at least 3 facts, a picture and they had to start each sentence in a different way. Well done to our STAR WRITERS, Milo, Sophie, Hailey and Abbie!

The boys and girls were working hard today to identify lines of symmetry in shapes and pictures. We learned than some shapes have more than one line of symmetry while others have none at all!

Electricity in P4/5

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.
