Building the Great Wall of China in P3/4

Last week our P3/4 engineers had a go at building a very small version of the Great Wall of China.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

We worked in teams to build sections of the wall using different building materials, before working together to join all the parts up.

What a fun building challenge!

Fairyland and Literacy

On Monday we had fun decorating fairy cakes while learning about food hygiene. We wore aprons, tied our hair back and focused on hand washing and how to make sure our hands are clean.

We decided to use our experience within our taught writing lesson this week by carrying out instructional writing on how to decorate fairy cakes.

 

 

Primary 5’s religions retreat

23/10/2018 by Mrs McGhee | 0 comments

This week the Primary 5 pupils went to a lovely, fun and very peaceful retreat in St.Kevin’s Church Hall.  They learned about the 7 Sacraments and their significance.

During this time, they went into groups and had a chosen Sacrament.   They had great fun and worked very well as part of a team.

One group was learning about the Sacrament of marriage and dressed a pupil as a groom out of toilet paper.  The other group were concentrating on the Sacrament of Holy Orders and covered a pupil in toilet paper to dress as a Priest and the last group had the Sacrament of Baptism.

The children also went into the Church for story time and a meditation and reflection  lesson. They thought about their conscience at this time.

Designing Our Fairyland Wall

This week we used materials that we have been collecting to create our own fairyland. We had a great time doing this! All of our ideas and creations came from the class and we had very creative ideas about how we could construct different parts of fairyland.

We made castles, magic wands and fairies, fair dust and a beanstalk. It is now proudly displayed in our classroom and we will be adding to the wall as our topic develops. Here are some pictures of primary 2 creating their fairyland.

We will carry on with our topic after the October week by exploring expressive arts, literacy, as well as other areas of the curriculum. On our first day back we will be designing our own fairy cakes and will be learning about food hygiene in the process.

Some of the P4/5/6/7 children were involved in today’s construction club. Our job was to create a strong bridge which could allow a heavy object to cross over… Some excellent engineering and problem-solving took place!

Monday 8th October 2018

Primary 2/3 have had a busy few weeks and have been working hard in literacy, numeracy and on Autumn themed activities.

The children are working hard with their partners on phoneme and spelling tasks and are coping very well with reading comprehension tasks.

In numeracy, the children are learning lots of different ways to add and are using a range of active learning activities to work out sums and solve problems.

They are currently using newspapers to learn about how to structure a report based on their learning about ‘hedgehogs’ and the threats that endanger them.

P2/3 are thoroughly enjoying all things Autumn and created squirrels, hedgehogs and owls using leaf art. They children were able to write a number of facts about their chosen animal and demonstrated excellent listening skills!

Fantastic work, P2/3!

Creating Timelines

Today we discussed the importance of using timelines to understand history. We improved our familiarity with the ideas of BC and AD, and used this information to build our own timelines for our topic; The Romans.
