Great fun was had by all at our mid term disco. Thanks to our dedicated parent council for organising such a fun night.
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!

P2 SUPER SUNDIALS
P2 have been learning about light and shade as part of their Weather topic.
The boys and girls created fabulous sundials to enable them to tell the time using the sun’s position in the sky. Today, we marked where the shadow lay on our paper plates at 2 o’clock. We also had to use a compass to make sure which was was North.

Fairtrade Banana Muffins – Primary 4
Our class were in the cooking room on Tuesday and we had great fun making our Fairtrade banana muffins. The ingredients were bought from the local Co-op and were all Fairtrade products. The ingredients were plain flour, butter, eggs, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and bananas. We worked well in our groups to mix the ingredients together and spoon the mixture into the paper cases. We had to wait half and hour until they were ready but it was worth the wait. They were absolutely delicious!
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.
