“We are the champions, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!”

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Wow! There were tense scenes at the P.4 end of term hockey tournament. Let me tell you all about it…

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been learning about hockey skills such as

how to show close control when dribbling
different ways in which you can pass the ball
how to shoot at a target
ways in which we can keep ourselves safe

Well, we had the opportunity to put these skills into practice during our tournament. Following a tense group stage, we had two play-offs to see what teams would contest the final.

In the final, neither team was able to find the upper hand. We therefore had to go to extra time. Following a dramatic finish, the two teams were still deadlocked. There was nothing for it but to have a penalty shoot-out…

The penalty shoot-out provided terrific finishes, athletic saves and agonising misses. Finally, the red team held their nerve and won the tournament. Well done everyone!

World War 2 topic in pr 6-7

We have just loved learning about World War 2 in primary 6/7. We have enjoyed reading about it and writing recounts of the main events of the war. This week we brought in our own models based on a part of the topic which we really enjoyed. We are so proud of our models! A big thank you to those who helped us make them!

A Look back with Pr6-7

What a term we have had! We have had a really busy and fun time in the past Month. we have seen sbow days, snow challenges, world book day and reading for enjoyment challenges .

In class we dressed up as favourite characters and enjoyed more reading for fun.

Many pupils have been taking full advantage of our after school clubs. The library club has been a huge success and the guitar club has been fantastic.

In PE we have been enjoying football with the football coaches from Celtic Football Club. We have also been learning all about the vital organs and what food and drink is essential for a healthy lifestyle. As a result we have given ourselves a fruit challenge. Children who bring a fruit snack to school instead of sweets or chocolate receive extra points. We are also trying to drink more water and less fizzy drinks.

Also in PE we have been learning about hockey and we surprised ourselves with our skills in defending and scoring! We are very proud of ourselves.

In maths we have been learning lots of new concepts including division, area, percentages and decimals! What a busy bunch we have been!

Primary 1 Update- STEM, IDL and more.

Look at the old bears we have drawn with pastels, they show how soft some bears can be. We are learning about old toys and how they are different from the toys we play with today.

Here is the winning Easter basket for our class. You can see more on Dojo.

This week, in primary 1, we visited the STEM zone. We designed and created all week. We worked on our own, with a partner and in teams and helped with each other’s designs. Here are some of our designs.

Close control in Primary 3

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Primary 3 recently studied hockey for the first time as part of our P.E. programme. We started off with a quick warm-up called ‘Toilet Tig’. This game is really fun, and nowhere near as disgusting as the name sounds!

After that, we learned how to hold a hockey stick correctly. We then learned that, when dribbling in hockey matches, you should aim to keep the ball close to you so no one can tackle you. We put this skill into practice by dribbling around the hall. What great control!

After that, we split up into teams and practiced dribbling around objects. This was a little bit tricky!

Finally, it was time for a quick cool-down. We decided to play one of our favourite games called ‘Traffic Lights’.

What a great lesson! We had fun, learned new skills and worked together. We can’t wait for next week!

A catch up with P.1/2.

Here we are in the STEM Zone making models and inventing lots of wonderful creatures!

Last week we carried out a floating and sinking experiment. We were surprised at some of our findings!

We have been working so hard in our writing too. P.1 children writing independently and P.2 children writing at length!

In calss, we love to rad, here we are in our class library enjoying the books there.

For maths this week. we have been learning about graphs and making and using graphs to gather information.

These wonderful clay crosses were made by us a few weeks ago, we have allowed them to dry and now we have painted them. They are empty crosses to show that at Easter time, we celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead.

The book fair was in school today and we allhad a chance to go up and look at the lovely books.

A trip to church

This week, Primary 1 went to visit St Bartholomew’s Parish Church. It was a fascinating visit and we learned so much during our trip. Fr O’Kane was very impressed with our knowledge of the church and our two parent helpers were very impressed with our behaviour.

What a lovely trip!

World Book Day in Primary 1.

We had a great day celebrating World Book Day on Friday. We spent the day reading stories about bears, designing book covers, reading with our friends and listening to stories from our teacher. It was a great way to explore new books and talk about our favourite kinds of books with friends.

At the assembly in the hall, we had a chance to see other book characters too and listen to other pupils talk about their favourite books.

Here is a snapshot of one of our classroom activities today, where we all designed a book cover for one of our best stories, “We’re going on a bear hunt.”
