We have been very lucky this week in Primary 2, we have been in the new STEM zone nearly every day! We have had a great time building things and making models using all of the different boxes. Some days we worked with a partner but other times we got to build our own models which was the most fun! We can’t wait to go back tomorrow for our last day in the STEM zone! Here are some of our pictures but there are lots more on twitter!

Glowing primary 1’s .

In p.1 we have been learning how to get on to the Glow site. In the Dogital Learning room, we have been working on Glow to explore a lot of things. Our teacher has put some great literacy, numeracy and topic work on our Glow page and each week we are learning new things. Now that we all have our login at home, we can visit Glow at home and try out some of the activities.

As part of our homework challenge for January we had to design the front cover of a favourite book…….

Aren’t they super! Everyone also enjoyed a visit to the school library on Friday where we had fun reading a wide variety of books.

Afte our hard work, we sometimes like to end our lessons with yoga. This can help us calm our minds…

In RE we are learning about people who care for us. We all drew a picture of someone who cares for us at home or at school.

Roman around in January!

We have been learning all about The Romans since we have returned to school. We have really enjoyed finding out about mosaics, we have been finding them all around us and then learning how to make them. We discovered all about the Roman invasion, armies and battles. We learned what it was like to be on a Roman Galley ship. We were completely fascinated learning about Julius Caesar. We have been using our new knowledge to write stories and recounts. Phew it has been a busy month and we still have a lot left to discover!

: Pikachu mosaic

: Sword mosaic in ICT

: Read all about it! Caesar is dead!

: A mosaic in our school

: Learning about the Romans in our library

: What facts can you find?

: Making our own mosaics

: Look at this masterpiece

: Making works of art!

A Busy Week in P4

This week we have been practising hard for our assembly with our songs and lines. We were practising so hard and loud that we received invitations to perform our songs in p3. On Friday we had a special delivery of letters asking us if we would kindly perform our songs. We opened the letters with excitement and read them in pairs. We will be more than happy to p3!

As well as receiving our lovely letters, we have also been working hard maths and doing difficult chimney sums. We worked in pairs to see who can solve the sums correctly but also the fastest! There was a huge prize and luckily two pairs finished at the same time so we could share the prize! You can see we why we wanted the prize.

It was tough but our winners were delighted to get them all correct! Keep up the great work!

Gymnastics Festival

What a fantastic day we have had at the gymnastics festival!

We began our day by taking part in the warm up routine to get ourselves warm and stretch out our muscles.

Our first piece of apparatus was the vault where we showed off our fantastic skills of squat onto the bench, high toe walking to the end and finishing with a straight jump to land.

We then moved onto our second piece of apparatus which was the floor. We performed great routines with a variety of different gymnastics skills which required strength, flexibility and balance.

All of the gymnasts performances were fantastic and they each received a participation certificate for their great work this morning.

Well done everyone you were all superstars!!

Catching up with Primary 2/3!

Last week primary 2/3 were working hard in class: individually, with a partner and in groups to solve different multiplication questions and activities.

We also began researching some information about our new topic for this term ‘The Ancient Egyptians’. With a partner we were able to access a specific website and chose a specific topic area to record 3 facts about.

Also on Friday morning we came into class to a wonderful surprise…

A little fairy has popped into the class and left a beautiful bright and sparkly door in our classroom. Primary 2/3 were working very hard on Friday and managed to work so quietly that during lunch the fairy popped out of her door to have a look around, leaving a glittery trail for everyone to see.

We were so excited about what could be behind the fairy door we just had to write a story about it!
