Earth hour in school Friday 18th of March at 1pm. Lights out!
We sorted food into 2 groups after watching a powerpoint about Healthy and Unhealthy foods. We worked together and explained our choices to the class. We can make good choices when it comes to food now. We know what we should eat lots of and what we should keep as a treat!
The Three Reads
We have been using props imaginatively to re-tell the story about Hungry Hettie ( Hungry Hettie: Jo Allan isbn978-0863157790)
We were developing our fine motor skills as we hung out the washing ” I’m being the granny”.
Watch this space over the next couple of weeks to see how we get on with growing our very own potatoes…You never know we might even manage to send some home for dinner 🙂

We have been very lucky this year to offer a variety of Out of Hours Learning activities right across the school. In consultation with the children, some of our more popular clubs have run for two consecutive terms. We will endeavour to continuosly increase the number of opportunities we provide.
In addition, some of our Primary Six children have taken part in a pilot scheme to become Junior Sports Leaders. They have learned how to run a mini- club at lunchtimes and then put this into practise by offering it to the Primary One and Two Children. Currently we have nine children who have successfully participated in the Junior Sports Leaders programme. These children offer activities to children on a Monday and a Friday each week. We plan to roll this initiative out further due to its success.
Some of our Out of Hours Learning clubs include:
Football (junior)
Football (senior)
Netball
Multi Sports
Homework
Eco
FairTrade
International Schools
Rota
Pupil Council
Primary four have been learning more about the Titanic this week. We’re a big fan of Captain E. Smith, and we had a big discussion about who was to blame for the sinking of the Titanic. Seven children thought that the Captain was to blame and most children thought the officers in the Marconi room were at fault. It was a very hard decision to make.
Here are some pictures of our brilliant Captain Smith painted by the children.
Our focus for science is animals. We have been learning about animals through Glow and using TigTag. Using the smartboard to complete the games and watch the video clips gives us lots of great facts. We have learned about domestic animals, where animals live, how animals move and will be looking at what they eat and the food chain. We even tried to move like some of the animals we were learning about!
