Feasts,celebrations and festivals with Primary 1.

This week we looked at Fireworks Night. We used our ITC skills in the digital learning suite to work through a module on Espresso that helped us understand the meaning of bonfire night. Afterwards, we listened to a video with the visual off a don,y the round on. It really made us listen! As we listened, we heard explosions, whizzing, banging and shouting. It helped us imagine a fireworks celebration. Throughout the week, we learned how to keep safe on bonfire night and ended our week by writing a fact about bonfire safety. In art, we explored colour and lines to create these wonderful pieces of art. We even added texture using different sprinkles!

In PE Mrs Carlin is teaching us the skills we need to play hockey. ย The hockey sticks were tricky to hold and we needed lots of practice. It was great fun. We let our teacher know how we got on by choosing a coloured mat to stand at, green means we think our skills were good today, yellow means we need s little more practice and red means we need a lot more help to get the grasp of the new skills.

Everyone is looking forward to next session.

Spooky Houses and the Solar System

We got a little spooky last Monday as we completed our Spooky Halloween houses and advertised them for sale. As promised, here are our finished pieces of artwork…

 

Then it was time to get forget Halloween and really focus on our new topic which is space. Here we are reading about the solar system and watching a video in order to develop our note-taking skills…

 

 

We we are really refining our note-taking skills and we’re enjoying learning lots of different ways to organise our notes. On Thursday, we wrote some excellent explanation reports using only our notes! Watch out for some photos of our Star Writers!

On top of all that, we performed our amazing class assembly about Spain on Friday. Each and every one of us took part and did ourselves, our parents and our teachers proud. Well done P6!

Wow! What a great place to be! When you are in the playground, you can play tig with your friends. You can also have great fun when you are playing football or basketball. We like our playground because there is a lot of space.

Primary 1 celebrate FESTIVALS.

Our new topic is Festivals. We are exploring lots of different festivals from now until the Christmas holidays. This week we learned all about Halloween and how it links to The feast of All Saints and All Souls’ Day too. Here’s what we have been up to so far……

image

We learned where our food comes from in autumn and used our observational skills to colour mix and paint these Starlight Pumpkins.

image

We learned about some popular saints- St. Peter, St Andrew, St Francis of Assisi, St Teresa of Calcutta and made our own mini books to help us pray.

image

This week is also the festival of Diwali for Hindus and Sikhs. It is a festival of light so we used our cutting and folding skills to make these Diwali lanterns.

A busy week in in pr 5


We have been researching our local area. Here we are sharing results of our parent questionnaires to the rest of the class. We had to use eye contact and clear voices. We were even allowed to sit in the teacher’s chair!

After our ICT research, questionnaires and finding out about the best things about Coatbridge, we decided to put all of our information into leaflets! Don’t they look brilliant?

imageMaths has been a challenge this week!

We have been working with the four operations in lots of different sums. ย We were introduced to a longer way to multiply. We are gladly getting the hang of it!

We have started looking at the world of work. Part of this is to think about what we are good at. Our skills should hopefully help us to choose a career path as we continue through our education.

We wrote down three skills of our own and everyone walked around the room and ticked the one that they thought was our best skill.

It was great to see what people thought we were good at. A real confidence boost!

In a galaxy far far away…

This week in primary 4 we had a school trip to the Glasgow Science Centre’s Planetarium. It was great fun! We started the day by exploring our Universe in the workshop Passport to the Planets, learning all new facts about constellations and the planets, Mars, Earth and Jupiter. Our guide John was great and he was able to answer any questions we had about our Galaxy, the Milkyway.imageย  ย  ย ย image

After the workshop we had time to go and explore the rest of the Science Centre. There were different experiments on each floor and we had lots of fun whilst learning about them. We cannot wait to go back!!
