As part of our Natural Disasters topic Primary 6 have been learning about tsunamis. A tsunami is a huge wave that is made by an underwater earthquake. The earthquake happens when the tectonic plates shift and two rub against each other, causing one to flick up above the other. In maths Mrs. Kelly has been teaching us about fractions and we have moved on to looking at equivalent fractions. An
Primary 5 are doing a new topic called ‘The Human Body’. We wrote a list of things we already knew about the body and a list of things we didn’t know but wanted to learn about. During P.E the class have been working with Miss MacMillian on our gymnastics skills. We have been practising things like rolls, balances and flight (which means jumps). She lets us use different types of
For the past two weeks Room 2 have been working on a new topic called From Farm to Fork. We have learned about the three different types of farms in Scotland (livestock, arable and crofting).

We are learning about Scottish Food and where they grow/get harvested. We had a taste test on some of the foods. We tasted cheese and shortbread, it was amazing how different the children’s reactions were. It gives them a chance to see a bit more of each other’s likes and dislikes.
In gym on Tuesday with Miss Macmillan we are doing gymnastics, lately we have been working on rolls and balances. On a Thursday Primary 5 get to go swimming.

In class we are learning about fractions and how to solve them. We just finished Algebra. We have been learning about Scottish landmarks and manmade marks. Right now we are looking at natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes. We learned that earthquakes can sometimes not be felt but some can be felt from 1000 miles away. The earthquake is a very dangerous disaster that can destroy lots of homes and
Miss Barr took the netball team to a competition. Don’t they all look great? Everyone worked hard and performed excellently. In class we made lava lamps, as part of our science lessons. For P.E.
