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.

The children will post further videos of their own learning as this develops.

Watch this space!

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.

P6 took their learning outdoors this week as part of their science topic, exploring wind speed in different areas around the school. Using anemometers, the pupils measured and compared wind speed, discussing how surroundings such as buildings, trees, and open spaces can affect the results.

Through this hands-on investigation, pupils developed key META-skills, including focus, teamwork, and collaboration. Working together to collect data, share ideas, and draw conclusions helped deepen their understanding of science while building essential skills for learning and life.

Primary 1 and Primary 4/5 worked together to become bird watchers in our local environment. One of our P4 boys taught the class about the RSPB charity, and we went out to record the types of birds we could see, We will now interpret our data, and send the results to the RSPB. Some budding ornithologists! Great work!
