An Update from Primary 1

Primary 1 have had a great first term and have all settled in well. They have worked so hard and learned lots too! This term we have been learning all about dinosaurs, researched different types of dinosaurs and discovered how they lived. The children have enjoyed learning about what dinosaurs eat and can explain the terms carnivores and herbivores and can give examples of these. Through play we have had lots of fun using our dinosaur tuff tray in the small world area and we have used lots of different resources to make different pieces of artwork in the creative area.

Primary 4/3 Term 1 Update

Since starting back school, Primary 4/3 have been have been working very hard and having lots of fun settling into our new class. We have had a busy term developing our skills in all areas of the curriculum. We have loved learning about Ancient Egypt and have explored the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Egyptian Gods and Mummification. We particularly enjoyed becoming mummies ourselves! Through our topic we have created a narrative writing piece of “The Egyptian Adventure” and created an interesting fact file about Tutankhamun. During our outdoor learning, we used our problem solving skills to create pyramids and they were a great success! In science, we have been learning about inheritance and discovering who we have inherited certain characteristics and looks from in our family as well as creating our family trees. This term, we have focussed the importance of Growth Mindset and will continue to adopt this in our everyday learning in Primary 4/3.

Thank you for your continued support.

Primary 5F Term 1 Update

This term Primary 5F have enjoyed working on their Viking topic. The children have used the Viking adventure story as a stimulus to recreate some of the scenes within drama and music. The children used drum sticks to keep a variety of rhythms within a group setting. The children used this to keep the Viking rowers in time with each other. The children found this exciting as they acted this out within the playground. The children also acted out the Viking raiders scene and sheltering within the longhall. The class have been learning about Viking people and their way of life. The class can identify Scandinavian countries within a map and they know that Vikings travelled by longships. The children enjoyed designing their own jewellery as part of our Outdoor Learning activity. The children enjoyed designing their own Viking shield.
