The children in Rooms 13 and 14 have been busy working in groups researching a chosen aspect of Victorian life. They have made videos showcasing what they have learned. Here are a few:

The children in Primaries 6 and 7 were treated to a Kodaly session with Mrs Wilkinson from North Lanarkshire Council. They learned how to rap to a steady beat and had lots of fun playing all the games and activities.

As part of their homework challenge, the children in Room 13 were asked to build a Victorian house. They could choose to create either a rich house or a poor house. Their creations look amazing!

The children in rooms 13 and 14 have been busy transforming the senior area into a Victorian Wonderland and they have even built their very own Penny Farthing!

The children in Rooms 13 and 14 had a fantastic time being tour guides when they took over the jobs at Summerlee Museum yesterday.

Room 13 children linked PE with Maths today when were estimating how many different exercises they could do in 20 seconds. They were very energetic and strangely quiet for the rest of the afternoon…

Today a lady came from Summerlee to speak to rooms 12, 13 and 14 on the dangers of alcohol. We took part in drama activities showing what would happen if we drank too much. Here is the video.

We also got to try on beer goggles and see how difficult it was to walk in a straight line and kick a ball when you’ve had too much alcohol.

The children in Rooms 12, 13 and 14 are learning all about electricity and have been carrying out various activities to make and measure electricity.

Last week, a member of the fire brigade came into school to teach us all about fire safety.

Today, the children in Room 13 were learning how to find a fraction of an amount. Here is a video of some of them demonstrating how to do it.
