Primary seven had the privilege of working with primary 1/2. They have been telling us all about their brilliant bee and mini beast topic and so we decided to paint fantastic mini beast pictures with them.
Mrs Carlin loved them and has decorated her class entrance with them!

We have had great maths fun this week in our class! Everyone rose to the challenge of designing and making a board game and then brought them in to play with their friends. It was brilliant fun and what a super variety of games. Here are some….
In RE this week, we learned about the feast of the Sacred Heart and changed our altar for the month of June. We now have the statue of the Sacred Heart on it to remind us of Jesus’ never ending love and mercy. We helped prepare the altar by making collage hearts.

We have started an exciting new topic in p4 called ‘The Human Body.’ We decided that we wanted to start our learning by investigating the skeleton. First up, we explored some non-fiction texts to help us find out some facts about the skeleton…
Then, we watched a really interesting video that helped us to name some of the bones in the skeleton…
We then had to put a skeleton together and label as many bones as we could. We found out that thigh bone is called the femur and that it’s the longest bone in the human body!
After all that, we took part in a group challenge. We worked in groups against the clock to make a giant skeleton. We had to figure it all out in our teams and then label the bones with as many correct names as we could remember…
Finally, we named our skeletons and gave a short class presentation…
Now we’re off to explore the muscles in the human body!

After our First Holy Communion, which was on Pentecost Sunday, we learned about Trinity Sunday. This is the first Sunday after Pentecost. To help us understand the Holy Trinity, we talked about an egg which is made of three parts – the shell, the yolk and the white. Yet it’s all just one egg. The Holy Trinity is like this because it also has three parts – God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yet there’s only one God. We know that we talk about the Trinity every time we pray when we make the Sign of the Cross.

It’s been a couple of weeks now since we made our First Holy Communion and it was a very special day indeed. We were quite simply perfect in every way. Here are some photos to help with the memories…
Congratulations to all the boys and girls who made their First Holy Communion. A special thank you goes to the boys who did not receive the Sacrament but did come to Church to help out with the choir. Well done boys!

Primary 1/2 have been working with money. While primary 2 have been using coins to put out amounts to £1, primary 1 have been putting out amounts to 20p.
We have also been showing off our writing skills as we find out more about living things.

This week in Primary 5 we have been using the I-pads to research information on England. The children were interested in the monarchy and researched interesting facts about the queen. They then went onto write an acrostic poem about the queen for our wall display.
We have started the preparation for our class assembly. We have a guest star, Miss Kiernan’s favourite singer!
Guess who???

What a busy week we have had here in Primary 3! In maths we are learning about money, so we have been using coins to help us count how much money we have.
Over the past few weeks we have been writing instructions. This morning we played snakes and ladders with our groups, then wrote a set of super instructions on how to play the game.
As part of our topic on Living in Coatbridge, we thought carefully about some of the schools, shops and exciting places to visit in Coatbridge. We used iPads to help with a bit of research before recording the information in our jotters.
The pastels were out on Thursday and we created some beautiful mountain landscapes during art time. We focused on blending the colours together to make lighter and darker shades. It was messy work, but our landscape masterpieces were well worth it!

Following on from our Drugswise topic, the children in primary seven have been learning what to do when someone collapses in front of you… We went through a lot of different senarios like if someone had just fainted or if it really was more serious. We learned how to open the airways, check for breathing and how to help the casualty. If the casualty is breathing we learned how to put him or her into the recovery position. If the casualty is not breathing we learned about chest compressions with the help of the Little Anne dolls and the advert with Vinnie Jones!
The children loved learning all about this and really understood the value of what they were being taught. They spoke about how they felt more confident if they had to act in a real emergency.

This week we have been learning all about different angles. We have learned their names,sizes, how to measure them and how to draw them. We even learned how to find missing angles by calculating angles in triangles and full turns. Mrs MacFarlane set us some challenges to solve… The puzzles were tricky but great fun.
