Primary 1 celebrated Global Play Day by playing lots of maths games today. Here are some photos of their super activities.

Today the P7s supported their buddies while they played with the toys they brought to school. They all had fun.

P5/6 had the pleasure of being visited by Jamie Lee and Vari from the Bellshill Cultural Centre. They taught us all sorts of drama skills and we learned how to project our voices to make them louder when performing. We also played lots of fun games. We will definitely be using all of these skills during our drama focus this term.

Primary 1 received a letter from the three little pigs today asking them to help by retelling their story, and by rebuilding some of their treasures. They had so much fun working together on their challenges

.

P6 were lucky to benefit from a drama taster session from NLC. All children absolutely loved the experience. Just look at those happy faces! The children have been given permission slips with further details for anyone who would like to join.

Congratulations to this P6 boy, who spent the day as pilot of a B737NG simulated plane.

Congratulations to the boys and girls of P3 & P4 as they go on their journey of faith in preparation for receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Holy Eucharist.

CRAFTY SEWING  (IDL) CLASS  LITERACY/MATHS/ART

Children from P4 -P7 have been having fun  learning about, crafting and sewing.  How to use different stitches for decoration, but also that these decorative stitches  ( —–) are used to attach 2 seams together to make a garment,  a straight stitch   (–)or a cross                     (X)   stitch to sew on a button, or   (////)to use as a hemming stitch etc.

The children are also using talking and listening, measure, art and design skills etc., to plan and design their work.  learning that the decorative stitches they have used also have a practical purpose too.

Above we see ‘Successful  happy learners’, having fun with their learning, as they work,  discuss, design, and support each other as they develop their learning skills.

MAKATON

Holy Family Prayer

P1-P7 Class, Makaton representatives, have been learning about signing and how to sign prayers.  The first prayer learned in Makaton, was Our  ‘Holy Family Prayer’.  The children shared  this prayer during assembly to show what they had learned and to enable everyone to have the opportunity to learn too.

Together they have made this short Learning Video, so that they may share what they have learned with everyone.

We gathered leaves from all the different plants we could find and arranged them in size order. Next we used sketching pencils to try to draw accurate representations by looking carefully at size and pattern.
