Today we visited Kirk O’Shotts church for our Easter Service. We had been practising our songs and today we got to do it for real. Lots of parents turned up to see us and we performed well. We had to brave the snow storm, lovely spring weather indeed! This is the second time we have visited the church and it will be the last this year.
This term we have been reading Divided City by Theresa Breslin. The book is about how Glasgow is divided between Catholic and Protestant.

On the 18th march 2015 primary 5/6 and 7 went to a hand ball tournament at Ravenscraig. We did very well and we always kept our heads up. We were joint 2nd in group 3 and we were all really proud of ourselves. The coaches always commented on our behaviour and how well we played. We all won a medal and a certificate.

Last week we were set a dramatic challenge! We were asked to script our own mini-plays based around an aspect of peer pressure and to demonstrate the negative effects/potential consequences of this. We worked extremely hard and all performed with confidence in front of the other members of the class. Some of us even made props! Here are a selection of photos from the afternoon.
We were very busy this afternoon, preparing for Christmas. We were practising songs, painting snowmen for one of the friezes to go in the hall, making Christmas cards and cutting out tiny, tiny snowflakes. It was a very productive afternoon. 🙂

We went to Motherwell Heritage Centre to learn more about our Romans topic. Our guide, Hugh taught us a lot about the Romans in Britain and the many things they introduced which are still in use today. We also learned about how they bathed, ate and lived. Did you know?….there are remains of Roman baths at Strathclyde Park and that Hadrians wall was built by the Romans!? In the afternoon
We investigated how to make coins shiny using things you would find around the house. We used brown sauce, vinegar, Cif, Coke and Flash. Which do you think worked best……? Here are some pictures of us cleaning them. Maybe we can transfer our cleaning skills to the house now!
