It’s been a such a lovely few weeks in Primary 4 as we have prepared our hearts and minds for our First Holy Communion Day. We can’t believe it’s this Sunday!
Here’s a little look back at our preparations…
We are now very well prepared for our First Holy Communion Day and can’t wait until Sunday!

In Primary 5 this week we have started the preparation for our assembly on the UK.
The children have been learning some Scottish dances.
Our assembly is called The UK has talent! Do you recognise some of our judges?
Pictures of Simon to follow!

Yesterday Primary 2 went on their class trip to the Burrell Collection. We went on a tour of the museum and were shown lots of exciting things like the oldest and biggest objects in the collection. Then we were taken upstairs to the workshop where we got to try out five different activities. We made a clay pot, we drew a stained glass window, we used blocks to create a building, we made wool and we used rocks to make talcum powder. We had a brilliant day and enjoyed eating our snacks in the sunshine afterwards!

Phew! What a busy week in Primary 4 once again. After last week’s second hugely successful Cafe Combo, we have been very busy preparing for our First Holy Communion. Can you believe it’s happening this Sunday!? You can see what we’ve been up to so far this week on Twitter.
We have managed to fit in some maths too this week. We have been learning about time using both analogue and digital clocks. We have been linking clock times to fractions and times tables. What a clever bunch! We created group posters to display our knowledge and then we evaluated each other’s work…
We chose two winning groups because their posters were informative and made the most links between clock times, fractions and times tables. Well done! Both teams got the run of the trim trail during their extra play!

This week in school we began to to look at illegal drugs. The children were very mature as they discovered the terrifying truth about these drugs and their fatal effects on the body.
We discussed what to do when offered a substance like this. We spoke about what to do in an emergency when someone collapses and we took time to make sure we all knew who we could talk to in these situations.
Well done children for treating this serious issue with the correct attitude.

Pr7 continue to add detail to their pencil sketches of faces. These are really quite difficult to draw but we are improving after each session.
We will post some finished works of art next week.
Here we are at work…

We continue to enjoy our daily mental maths in primary seven. This has been a great experience to recall all our mathematical facts and knowledge before we move to high school.
How quick could you complete these questions?
The questions continue to get more difficult but our great pr7s don’t give up, they are determined to get them correct!

This week we have been learning all about Scotland. We designed our own Scottish tartan.
We also researched some interesting facts about Scotland on the I-pads.

We’ve been busy bees in primary 5/6 this week.
We had an exciting P.E lesson on Friday with a basketball coach. We worked on loads of skills, like passing, creating space and team work. Here are some photos of our fantastic shooting skills.
Monday was interesting too, we carried out a lot of research last week for homework and made posters and presentations. On Monday afternoon we got to present our research to the class. We all worked very hard and found out loads of really fascinating things about the Scottish Parliament.
We looked at the manifestos that some of the parties have published for the Scottish Parliamentary Elections next week. Doing this allowed us to work out each party’s priorities for Scotland. This also gave us some inspiration for creating our own political parties.
On Wednesday we had another very interesting P.E lesson. We were learning about badminton with a coach from North Lanarkshire Active Schools. Some of us found it a little tricky because it was new, but we had very positive attitudes and Miss Brennan was really pleased with our super effort.
In digital learning, we created our own special type of blog on GLOW called e-portfolios. We’re going to use them this term and next year to record our learning. We really enjoyed making them and we’re very excited to get blogging. Here’s a look at some of our first posts.

In Spanish we have been learning all about weather, days, seasons, months and animals. We have already learned mascotas: pets, so we decided to have a look at farm animals! We even got a chance to learn how to make the animal sounds in Spanish!
In health and well being we have been looking at Drugswise. We have found out a lot about smoking and drinking alcohol. We have discovered the short and long term effects of these and have discussed what our choices could be. We have began to realise the risks involved and we hope this information will help us make the correct choices in the future. This is a very serious issue and we have been studying it with great maturity.
