An Update from Primary 5/4

A big hello from Primary 5/4!

We have had a fantastic first term, full of learning and full of fun! We have spent time getting to know one another and enjoyed casting our votes to elect our Pupil Council members for this year.

As part of our science focus this term, we have learned lots about water and how it changes state. Below are some pictures from the one of practical investigations we carried out to help us find out more about this cool topic!

Recently, we invited Mrs. Oates to join us on an outdoor learning experience. We used teamwork and problem solving skills to create our own waterproof dens. Click below to have a wee peek at some of the super shelters we built together!

We are now learning about how a growth mindset can help us to be more successful. We can’t wait to share what we find out with you on the school Twitter feed and in our next blog entry!

An Update from Primary 4

Primary 4 have settled well into the new school year and are enjoying lots of new learning experiences.

This term, our class topic is Natural Disasters. We have enjoyed learning about how earthquakes occur and we have identified places around the world that experience earthquakes regularly. We have learned about how we can prepare ourselves in the event of an emergency, and have practiced earthquake drills to protect ourselves.

We have read different news stories about earthquakes in Europe. Through drama and role play we have taken on the role of news reporters and eye witnesses to explore the effect natural disasters have on the local people. We then became journalists and wrote our own newspaper articles.
This week we will move on to discuss hurricanes; how and why they happen and the effects of a hurricanes on the country.

Our pictures show just how hard we are working!

We are looking forward to seeing what the rest of the term will bring.

Term 1 Update from Primary 5

Primary 5 have settled in well to their new class and they have been enjoying Term 1 so far. The children are really enthusiastic about their Interdisciplinary topic The Vikings. The children have been leaning about the Viking timeline, Viking God’s and Goddesses and Vikings as warriors. Using their design skills the children have created a first draft of their own Viking shield and are looking forward to completing their final design. Primary 5 have impressed me with their skills in technology. We have been using the laptops where the children have been creating word documents to record Viking facts then adding an image to match. The children are excited to learn more about The Vikings and also to create a 3D Viking longboat. Look out for our pictures on Twitter.
