Here in Primary 2/3 we are super excited about our new science topic on electricity! We spent some time in the ICT room today researching facts about lightning and we found some really cool pictures of lightning storms.

Children had great fun today learning all about different occupations, skills needed for careers and Interview techniques.
The class were split into four groups of five and were given the chance to work at four different stations around the room.
The stations were occupation pictionary at the smart board, occupation charades in the library, unusual job research with the iPads and Interviews round a table.
Children learned all about the different skills needed for all the jobs. They were gaining experience of how to act at an interview while also learning about the variety of careers that are out there. Phew! A lot of learning and lots to think about.
At our plenary when asked “Name something from today that you will use in the outside world?” The children replied, “All of it!” 
Our morning was made complete with very special visitors from the Scottish Government. Mr Johnstone and Mrs Robertson who were joined by Mr Craig and Mrs Fisher. They really enjoyed finding all about our work.

In primary 1 we are so enthusiastic about out learning and this week has been no different! Our primary 7 buddies came to visit us and we shared the wonderful stories we have written with them. They helped us set targets for this term to make our writing even better!
During R.E we have been learning about God’s beautiful creation. We decided to go on an Autumn walk and take pictures of some things God created including trees, the sky and some plants. We even collected some crunchy leaves that had fallen from the trees to make some hedgehogs and squirrels because we have learned that God made animals too.
Keep checking our blog to see our finished hedgehogs and squirrels!
To top off our busy and exciting week two of the girls brought in items for show and tell and we had a song from one of the boys!
My cat costume for Halloween!
Beautiful rosary beads from my gran.
A song complete with actions!
Keep up the hard work boys and girls!!

This week in Primary 2 we have been learning all about autumn. We read an autumn story and talked about all of the different things that happen when the seasons change. We learned some facts about hedgehogs and then we got to make one of our own! We have all painted our hedgehog and next week we will stick leaves on to decorate them. We really love to paint in Primary 2!

Halloween has arrived early in primary 7 with our spooky symmetry pictures! Children drew half of a spooky image on a line of symmetry and then asked their shoulder partner to complete it with the help of a mirror. Children really enjoyed seeing the finished spooky images.
Our next steps are symmetrical patterns across a symmetry axis! Scary!

We have started our new term with lots of enthusiasm in P4 and we have worked hard this week.
In R.E, we learned all about Our Lady and we know that we should show devotion to Mary, especially during the month of October. We did this by saying the Rosary together in class and reflecting on her life. Next, we learned about the fascinating story of Mary and the Miraculous Medal. We have started to create our own Miraculous Medals to show our devotion to Mary. Watch our Blog for pictures!
We also learned how to write interesting story openings this week. Here we are sharing our exciting openings with our partners…
And of course, a new term means a new topic! Ours is ‘Space!’ We really impressed Mrs McLean with the facts we already knew about Space but there’s so much more that we want to find out.
First up this week, we learned about night and day and why it happens. It’s all to do with the Sun and the Earth! The Sun is really a giant star and it’s very, very hot! We discussed ‘hot colours’ and what the Sun might look like if it was possible to get up close to it (it’s not so don’t try it at home!). We made our own red hot Suns using paint and cling film. Messy but great fun.

We have learned two new maths symbols this week, with a little help from Chris the Crocodile!
He shows us what symbol to use for less than and more than. He is such a greedy crocodile and loves to eat the largest number.
We also started our new topic on electricity. We enoyed creating lightning pictures using chalk on black paper.
Finally, as the winners of the Cool Class Cup last week, we had fun and kept fit while playing Just Dance on the Wii. We even had a competition for the best dancer.

Primary 5/6 were very busy during term one. Here’s a look at some of our fantastic topic work on the 1960s. In the photos you can see some children from the class working hard on a selection of our album covers, pop art and information posters.

Primary seven were over the moon today to work with their fabulous pr1 buddies. The children were helping their buddies to evaluate their writing and help them set targets and next steps in writing. Primary seven were amazed at how much progress their buddies are making. It is wonderful working with the buddies.
