We’re going on an angle hunt!

Today we looked at different kinds of angles. We focussed on right angles and learned that a right angle is 90 degrees. We drew some shapes and marked on the right angles and hunted for some in the classroom and outside!

Building Bridges

May 10, 2016 Mrs Fisher Leave a comment

P4/5 have been learning about the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Today we were set a challenge – to build a bridge using a choice of materials and see if it could hold a certain weight. We worked well together and became quite competitive! Have a look at our results.

Striking and Fielding with P1

May 10, 2016 Ms Scott Leave a comment

P1a enjoyed learning about striking and fielding in the sunshine this afternoon. Some children learned how to play rounders, whilst some learned to strike and some learned to field.

Volcano Experiment

May 10, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

Today in P5 we were erupting our volcanoes that we made. We used diet coke and mentos in our science experiment to create an eruption. It was interesting to find out that diet irn bru worked better at making a big eruption rather than the diet coke. We had so much fun!

We have been working hard on symmetry in maths this week. Today we used our knowledge of symmetry to complete the other half of some well known faces! We had great fun!

Theme Park Posters

May 10, 2016 M McDaid Leave a comment

As part of our non-fiction block, we have been finding out about the important features of posters and leaflets, looking at how organisations persuade and encourage customers to buy their good or services. We had great fun looking at examples of posters and leaflets produced by theme parks, such as Alton Towers and Thorpe Park and decided to create our own theme park, creating attractive and interesting posters.

P1a invented their own toy or game as part of our toys topic. You are certainly very creative and your designs are so varied. Thank you for all of your hard work!

P2 Marvellous Multiplying!

May 6, 2016 Mrs Macgregor Leave a comment

Primary 2 worked hard today to learn some times table facts and recall them quickly. Some children played a timed SmartBoard game while others tried a times table board game. Some boys and girls even tried to complete a colour by number multiplication picture of a cowgirl! We also used playdough to help us create”groups of” items and this helped us visualise how to multiply.

Ready for Battle

May 3, 2016 Mrs Fisher Leave a comment

P4/5 have been finding out about the Battle of Stirling Bridge which took place on the 11th of September in 1297. Scotland won! We compared the two armies and the tactics behind such a significant victory. We then had great fun trying on the chain mail and weapons both armies may have had.
