The People’s palace in Glasgow
Fun in the Anderson shelter! It was very small and dark and smelled a bit funny! Imagine having to spent the night with your family in here!

Once again, Mrs McLean and Miss Dunbar were super impressed with the thought, creativity and hard work that went into P4’s latest homework project.
Having explored the amazing inventions that came about during the Victorian era, P4 were challenged to design and create a ‘Product (or toy) of the Future.’ Here’s what we came up with…
After we pitched our products to the class, we spent some time exploring each other’s wonderful inventions (with some cake to reward us for our efforts of course!)…
What a truly super effort P4. Mrs McLean thinks the Victorian’s have nothing on us!

Here are our Star Writers this week –
In primary 1/2 we have been reading for information. This week our book was all about how rainbows are made. We all wrote some new information after exploring the text. Everyone was trying really hard to start each new sentence with a different sentence opener. We are getting quite good at this. Also we have to remember tout in he capital letters and full stops. Mrs Carlin is a proud teacher because primary 2 are able to write at length and primary 1 are all able to write on heir own. What superstars.
Look at this fabulous work that Primary 2 are doing with Mrs McNaughton – they are dictating sentences to each other and are going through them so fast that they have made a dictation pathway back to the classroom door! Amazing!

Primary 5/6 have been busy as always this week. The learning we’d like to share with you is from our P.E. and R.E lessons.
We have been learning new hockey skills in P.E. with the sports leaders from St. Ambrose.
After we had warmed up playing some different games, we got straight down to work on developing our passing skills. Although at first some of us found it a bit tricky, we worked hard and showed fantastic control.
After that we started working on dribbling and shooting. We did this in pairs and had the chance to dribble up to our partners and shoot into the goals which our partners were guarding. This was loads of fun and we scored lots and lots.
When we had practised our basic skills, we had a go at passing in teams one against the other. This was challenging because we were all so eager to have control of the ball. However, with great advice from the sports leaders we managed to work together in our teams and win some points!
Then we really got down to business and in teams of 5 or 6, we took each other on for a real game. We really enjoyed ourselves and every team managed to score. Miss Brennan was super pleased.
In R.E we have been learning about Lent and about Jesus’ last words. We began by finding some scripture about the crucifixion, we read through this and made notes about his last words according to different passages. We shared these with the rest of the class then looked at different ways that we could tell these stories to others using dramatisation. We divided into groups so that we could all portray a different passage. We were very successful in sharing these and their importance, particularly during lent.

Last week we began working on our badminton skills in the gym hall. We learned how to hold the racket properly and got to work on some basic balancing and hitting. We even had a competition to see who could hit their shuttlecock the highest.
For our topic work this week we were learning about Ancient Egyptian paper, called papyrus. We used teabags to stain some white paper to help us make a map for our wall display.

This week we have began practising for our show Archibald’s War. Our show is about children being evacuated during world war 2. There is a teddy bear in our show who goes missing. He is called Archibald.
Children have loved singing the songs and we have thoroughly enjoyed starting to say our lines. We can not wait to perform it to all parents and friends of our class.
Our show is on Thursday evening 17th March- it’s not to be missed!

We have been exploring different values during R.E. time. Today we read a story about Minnie the Monkey. She was a bit disrespectful – always interrupting when other people were talking and saying things she shouldn’t have been. It’s very important to think before you speak otherwise you might hurt someone’s feelings without even noticing! Miss Duffy put some toothpaste on a paper towel and asked us to have a go at putting all the toothpaste back in the tube. None of us could manage it! Just like the toothpaste, we can’t quite manage to put things back into our mouths after we have said them. We are going to show respect by thinking before we speak from now on but we understand that sometimes mistakes do happen and it is important to forgive people too.

Once again, as promised, some more of our 3D houses that make up our Fantasy Street.
As you can see, lots of hard work has gone into these houses. Some of them even have residents!!! Who would live in a house like this?

Primary 7 have been studying the year of Mercy Logo. Children selected part of the logo that meant the most to them, then they recreated it. Here are some of our beautiful paintings.
