P1a enjoyed exploring patterns using their choice of resources.
Concert Costumes P2 – P7
Please send your child’s concert costume to school in a labelled plastic bag as soon as possible.
If you are unsure of what your child has to wear click on the link below.
Senior choir members should wear their costume for all performances and not their school uniform.
Primary 4 Research 1990s
The children have been working extremely hard on researching important events and significant people of the 1990’s. Then they used their information to create group posters about the World Cup, Princess Diana, the Channel Tunnel, the Internet and Hurricane Andrew. They have also brought in a variety of toys, games, DVD’s and videos of that era.
The Best Dog in the World
P4/5 have enjoyed a Literacy modelling block using ‘The Best Dog in the World’ by Sylvia Green. Today we carried out some partner reading to see how the last chapter ended! Did Elliot get to keep Denzil, P4/5?
P1b take part in ‘Ready Steady Cook’
Today P1b participated in the ‘Ready, Steady, Cook!’ challenge by making some delicious leek and potato soup. We thoroughly enjoyed chopping the leeks and parsley and particularly loved tasting the soup once it was ready! The recipe (pictured below) was so easy to follow. We hope Mrs Martin enjoyed the soup. Thank you to Mrs Kelly for all your help.
Comparing Costs
Primary 5 were successful learners last week as they used their class iPads to support their learning in numeracy. The class were set an online shopping challenge comparing the costs of either a new football kit or outfit for a party from two different shops. Some of the children were surprised at how much a new football kit would cost! The children were successful in comparing the costs from two different shops and deciding which shop would be the best value for money.
Back to the 70’s
A huge well done to Primary 5’s who have created fabulous 70’s posters as their homework task this term. They showcase your learning of the 70’s and will make a fabulous display!
P5 Have the Lidl Health Factor
Primary 5’s enjoyed taking part in the Lidl Health Factor on Tuesday. On the Lidl Bus they chose 3 different fruits to put in their smoothies and found out that they should only have 200ml of fruit juice or smoothie a day as fruit contains natural sugars. The children also took part in racing games measuring their heart rate before and after the races. We also learnt that we should be doing an hour of exercise a day and eating healthy foods such as fruit and vegetables. Remember to use your £2 voucher to buy some fruit or vegetables and your recipe books to cook some delicious and healthy food!
Born in the 80s!
Through discussions P4/5 found out that a lot of our parents were born in the 80’s. Today we had great fun revisiting famous people born in the 80s although the children were far more excited to investigate which teachers they thought were born in the 80s! Some interesting ideas! We are going to use our information to create a big book – ‘Born in the 80s!’.
We also enjoyed looking at some old Glenmanor photos with some mums and dads in them from the 80s! A big thank you for sending these in!
P5, 6 and 7 Pupils Pilot Izak 9
P6 were first to find out what’s in the box! A set of 9 cubes with different colours, shapes and numbers on each face of the cube. Animated characters, Abacus and Helix set the pupils some challenging maths tasks on the screen and the pupils are encouraged to plan, do, review and make sense of the tasks as a team.
The teams worked really hard together and enjoyed finding different ways to solve the problems set. The tasks generated a lot of discussion and excitement, especially when completed!
P5 had great fun putting Izak 9 through its paces. Delighted faces when problems were solved!
Some P7 pupils stayed after school to try out the resource. They tried out some more challenging tasks involving fractions and precentages. Well done!
Thank you to Franz for giving up his time today to show us this fantastic resource.
