This week we’ve had another very busy week in Primary 6/7!
The librarian Mrs Wright from St Ambrose came to visit us to give us an insight into reading for enjoyment.
During art we created an image of a soldier during WWII using a variety of media.
Today we had a visit from the Zoo lab and learned all about different animals. We even got to hold them!

What an exciting start to the week for Primary 2/3 as our class pets arrived yesterday!
Firstly the fish were kept in their bag and placed into the tank to allow them to climatise to their new environment.
But it wasn’t long until they were swimming around and exploring their new home :D!!

Last week we had a great time at Summerlee museum. We went there to find out about what life was like in the past. We explored lots of different toys and household items and looked at where people did their shopping before Tesco or Asda!
Here are the highlights….
In the afternoon, we did an art wokshop all about colour and shape. This took us on a tour of the museum which was great. After looking at paintings with cold and warm colours, we created our own art work which we got to take home.

Primary 2/3 have had a very exciting start to the week as they began preparing their fish tank for their new class pet.
The boys and girls worked together to wash the pebbles and helped Miss Allington create a clean, safe environment for their fish who will be arriving on Monday.
Our fish tank is looking great, all ready for Sparkles arrival!
Also this week we joined Primary 3 in the hall for a taster session of Boxing.
Everyone worked hard with the punching routine created by the instructor and there was even time for some questions at the end.
Finally Primary 2/3 completed their homework challenge for this month and created some fantastic book covers for their favourite books!

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!

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.

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!
