St Kevin's Primary and Nursery

Hello from Primary 6/7,

We were lucky enough to be visited by Mrs Walker, Mrs Boyle and Miss Gilchrist from the science department at St Ambrose. The children all enjoyed their ‘investigating science’ experience where they learned about chemical reactions. We took part in our own experiments and saw what type of reaction occurred. We also studied different solutions and investigated whether these were acids, alkalis or neutral. We also learned about PH ranges. We thoroughly enjoyed our workshop and we are looking forward to our next visit next Tuesday.

Hello from Primary two

The children of Primary two have been very busy whenever they visited Summerlee Museum of Scottish Life. They thoroughly enjoyed the amazing array of social history involving interactive games.

The children also enjoyed being ‘hands on’ in the dramatic performance of  ‘The Wind in the Willows’. Much fun was had by all.

P4/5 took part in a money workshop where they learned the importance of budgeting.

They took part in practical activities where they had to count up how much many they had,and decide if they could afford to buy items on a shopping list.

They also got to take part in some interactive quizzes where they were able to show off how much they had learned!

It was a really great experience , and got us all thinking about how we spend our money.

Today we have been visited by TACS (Truck and Child Safety). This visit was very informative and gave us lots of good information about staying safe on the roads, particularly around trucks and large vehicles. We learned about the blind spots on a large truck and made us aware how dangerous these can be. It will definitely make us think twice about our safety on the roads.

This afternoon we have been learning to develop our debating skills. We have linked this to our topic Divided City. We have been creating arguments for and against an issue. We have used the internet to research arguments and counter arguments to different questions and we will present these in a debate in class. The issues that are being discussed are very relevant in the text we are reading and in our society today.

Hello from Primary 6/7,

This week we have been visited by the MACA project from North Lanarkshire. They have been teaching us about money and budgeting. We have been thinking about our wants and needs as well as income and expenditure to create budget sheets. We have thoroughly enjoyed our workshops so far.
