Stane Primary School and Nursery Class
– Kindness – Compassion – Courage – Community –
P5/6 have had a great start to Health Week with a visit to see Bella the Cow. Some of the children could not believe how hard it was to try and milk it, they loved the different noises it made and had a great time.
P5/6 have been extremely interested in Art Fortnight. Through research undertaken in the class they decided that the first artist that they wanted to study would be Bridget Riley. She is an artist who specialises in OP Art – representations of optical illusions. The children have enjoyed learning about her life, the art she has produced and creating their own art in preparation for the art show. Their second artist has still to be determined but they already have several ideas in mind.
In class we have been learning about different aspects of Respect. We have been learning about Self Respect, Respect for Others, and Respect for Property.
We have written poems about respect, thinking about how we treat others and ourselves.
These Poems are now part of one of our class displays.
Some of our thoughts on Respect are:
“Being kind and helpful to others” – Rachel
“Treat others how you want to be treated” – Cian
“Listen to what they say” – Finnlay
“Take care of everyone’s property” – Morgan
“Include everyone when playing games” – Ryley
New year. New exercises. Primary 5,6 have started off the year with sessions in fitness. Today 12 stations were set up and working in pairs the children had to complete the activities at each station. These included bench steps, star jumps, shuttle runs, which got them active and gentler stations such as stretches. Well done everyone.
Primary 4-7 party today…. Everyone having a wonderful time … Looking glam!!
The police were in the school today to talk to P4/5, P5/6 and P6/7 about Stranger Danger.
The children learned about people who are strangers, and what to do in different situations.
They also learned about what to do if they got lost.
Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 have had a great day learning all about the Titanic. They had the opportunity to dress up in authentic period costumes and dramatise different roles within the titanic – such as stewardesses, engineers, firemen, passengers.
Primary 5,6 have been looking at air resistance and, by making model parachutes, were able to determine the larger the surface area the more air resistance and the slower the parachute will drop. We had great fun testing them outside at the amphitheatre!
The girls from Primary 5/6 and 6/7 have enjoyed a visit from Lauren today. She is a science ambassador who talked about the importance of encouraging girls to study science and a variety of different careers that this can lead to including different areas of Engineering. As a challenge the girls had to build the highest structure that they could.
Primary 5, 6 and 7 put on a wonderful performance this afternoon of the Scottish Opera Musical, Fever! The children have worked hard over the past few weeks to learn the songs and in just one day, worked with Scottish Opera to stage this active and energetic musical. Well done to everyone involved on a wonderful performance.
