Primary 1/2 have a packed week.

This week has been extremely busy! Besides all of our very, very hard work in class, we have been on an outing, visited the book fair and had a sponsored fitness day!

We all love books – here we are having a browse through the books at the book fair.

Then on Thursday we had our topic visit to the Riverside Museum where we wanted to find some 1960’s artifacts. We started off with visit to the tall ship – the Glen Lee. It was amazing and there was lots to see and do. Then inside the museum we looked for a camper van as we wanted to design our own 1960’s camper vans and were looking for inspiration.

After that, we went on a beetle hunt! Not only did we find one, we found lots of old cars and took some time to draw some of them.

A beetle!!!

Then we went and had our lunch outside because the sun was shinning.

Once back inside the museum, Mrs Carlin had a very exciting treasure hunt for us to do. Here are some of the things we had to find….

While we were in the museum we had lots of compliments from other visitors and they were very impressed with our behaviour and manners.

Finally … on Friday we had a visit from Theo Spalding who is a judo expert and he has several medals to prove how good he is! He helped us complete a fitness course….here are some photos…Mrs Carlin joined in too and we were all very tired afterwards.

What another fun week at school. Now we are all looking forward to singing our hearts out for you at our 1960’s show on Thursday! We can’t wait…..

A day out with primary 1!

This week we visited the Riverside Museum and got a chance to explore the tall ship! We got to see the tiny rooms the sailors lived in and some of us even had a lie down on a sailors bed – we much prefer our own though! In the museum we went on a hunt in search of loads of forms of transport from the past, when we found them we ticked them off on our sheet. We also designed our own campervans taking ideas from the bright and colourful campervan in the museum. Have a look at our pictures!

A judo athlete called Theo also came to visit our school this week. We worked hard doing different exercises with Theo and got to ask him some questions about his sporting life during assembly. There was a great feel in the hall cheering each other on – well done primary 1!

Check the concentration! Well done boys.

Hard at work!

Time for press ups!

Getting ready to start..

Having a well earned rest.

Cheering their classmates on!

P2 love Pinocchio!

Miss Connor read us the story of Pinocchio yesterday and we all loved it. We had to draw and write about our favourite part of the story, most of us picked the part when Pinocchio told lies and his nose grew. We though that was really funny!

Primary 2’s Marvellous Maths!

In Primary 2 we have been learning about place value over the past few weeks and we have been focusing on tens and units. We used dienes materials to practice with a partner and we loved making up questions for each other. We also learned how to play the shark game on the smartboard and we are getting very good at it!

A busy week for Primary 1!

We have had a wonderful afternoon as it was the Primary 1 prayer service. Some of our family members came to visit our classroom afterwards to have a look at our jotters – they were so impressed!

Here are some of our comments:
“Our prayer service was so much fun” Kaidyn
“I liked singing along to the songs” Bridget
“I liked saying my prayers” Jamie
“I enjoyed showing my jotter to everyone” Cody
“I liked seeing my mum in the audience” Olivia

During maths time we have been learning to order jumbled up numbers. Today we split into groups and used number tiles to help us.

We are very much looking forward to a well deserved holiday weekend after such a busy week in school! Miss Duffy is delighted with us!

Primary 1/2 Share their week with you.

We have been exploring 1960’s clothes this week. Here we are printing our own patterns onto a blank canvas ready for our designs!

Here are the finished designs on our 1960’s washing line! Look at the mini skirts, bell bottom trousers and a sixties tie designed by Rhian for Mr Young!

Primary 1 have also been learning how to order numbers. Today they used the numicon to help them.

At the end of the day, Primary 2 were a wonderful audience for Primary 1’s prayer service. It was a lovely afternoon and it was very nice to see so many visitors in our school. We hope you had a pleasant afternoon.

Here in Primary 2/3 we have been working hard at numeracy time to learn our number names. We did some fabulous detective work to match the numbers and then quizzed our partners afterwards!

Primary 1/2 Pop Art.

Here in Primary 1/2 we have been composing our own Pop Art pictures. Our inspiration can not only from our 1960’s topic, but from our Active Health lessons in PE with Mrs Carlin. Can you see all of the different ways we can move our bodies – what fun!

Can you see our active bodies move in this pop art picture?

Also today, here is a star dancer. She even had to have a few helping hands to show off her medals – WOW!!!

4 golds and 1 silver – WOW!

You can also see our 1960’s information wall outside our class. Here we have displayed some of the facts we have discovered during our topic.

1960’s homes and 1960’s parties were very different from today!

Pablo, our class bear has been on his travels. Last week he went home with one of our Primary 2’s and he visited her Papa in hospital, went to music club and dancing and even managed to watch a film in the evening.

This weekend, he had an adventure with a Primary 2 boy! He went to church and even helped take down the offertory, he went to the park, saw the ducks and had a go on the zip wire and he went really fast!

Where will he go next????
