Scotland topic work and more.

We have been adding more information and art work to our wall  display about Scotland. You will see we have been finding out about The Thistle, our Scottish flower, tartan, our Scottish pattern, Mhairi Hedderwick, a Scottish author and much more.

We have also been learning about St Andrew, our patron saint. We learned new and interesting facts and displayed some of them on our wall. We also made our own fish for the net and worked in cooperative groups to make St Andrew’s flags.

This display shows the work we have been doing in looking at the winter colours and winter sky in Scotland. When we looked at pictures of Scotland, we could see blue, green, purple, pink and yellow colours. We also looked at the super moon last week and included this in our art. We added Scottish evergreen trees with a little frost on them. We think they look amazing and really show a Scottish winter’s night.

We had great fun at pantomime on Thursday. We made our teacher very proud with our wonderful behaviour. It was great to see actors on stage and it made us all very excited to think we would be on stage soon ourselves to perform in our Christmas Nativity show. This week we were at the STEM zone, creating, designing and inventing. It was really great fun and we learned a lot about what works and what does not work when we are building models. We also learned that sometimes it is better to work with someone else because they can help you with ideas and show you different ways to do things.

What a busy week!

Primary 1 new experiences.

We celebrated St Andrew’s day with our friends from Primary 1/2 last week. As part of our topic on Scotland, we all tasted some delicious Scottish food at our Scottish buffet.

We tasted lots of new things and also showed excellent manners.

This week, we are at the STEM zone – Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths! We will visit this area several times this week, using our thinking and designing skills to full effect. You can see some of our models below.

We will continue with our Scottish topic this week, so keep up to date with our Blog and class dojo pages to find out what we have been learning.

Fun with P.1/2

This week, we had a visit from PC Maxwell who spoke to us about anti-bullying. We gave him some great ideas on how to be a good friend!

We worked on our typing skills during our time in the digital learning zone. We can change the size and colour.

Our writing this week was about our trip to Stirling Castle. It was good fun looking at the photos from our trip! The photos helped us write our stories.

To finish off our week, we made thank you cards for our paired reading buddies and delivered them to their class. They loved them! Thank you buddies!

Cool Class

PC Maxwell came for a visit yesterday to deliver a presentation on Anti-Bullying. All of the children listened attentively and came up with lots of different ideas for ways to tackle this issue.

In other news, Primary 3 were awarded the Cool Class Cup last Friday for all of their hard work preparing for our successful Jungle Assembly. We enjoyed playing the Nintendo Wii at the end of each day as our reward, and it was also a fun way to keep fit!

Busy in P.1/2!

Mrs McGuinness has been working with us to develop our cooking skills. We have been learning how to prepare food and how to stay clean and safe in the kitchen! We wish we had cooking every week!

 

During gym time we have been working on our jogging skills through different games and activities. We have been talking about how we feel before and after being active. Sweaty, warm, tired and a fast heart are some of the ways we described our feelings!

As it was world kindness day, we spoke it about why it was important to be kind to people and we each said something nice to someone in our class. We decided that even if you weren’t really friends with someone you can still say nice things to them. We all felt so good hearing how wonderful we all are and said thank you to God for all the kind people in our lives.

Here we are doing paired reading with our buddies to help us improve our reading skills!

To finish off our week, we visited Stirling Castle as part of our upcoming Scotland topic! We explored the castle, visited the grand hall where the king and queen would throw parties and dressed up as princesses, jesters, knights and more. We had great fun doing lots of exploring and even had some sleepy heads on the bus on the way back!

A busy week for Primary 7 entrepreneurs!

Primary 7 are taking part in the Micro-Tyco challenge. We have been very busy this week carefully planning and organising a variety of fundraising activities. We have investigated the roles involved in running a business and used our own ideas to advertise and promote our own business ideas.

We have worked really hard to generate a profit!
