St Kevin's Primary and Nursery

Hello from Primary two

This week Primary two have been involved in an exciting Scottish Government programme called Active Play.  Active play supports children’s capacity for positive development through a broad range of environments and play opportunities.  This week the children really enjoyed participating in a variety of physical activities and their ability to run, jump, throw and catch was enhanced when engaging in their Circuit Course and running games.

Hello from Primary 6/7,

This week we have been learning about financial education, we have been learning about debit cards, credit cards, profit/loss, discounts, savings, bank accounts and interest. Next week we will learn about finance plans and foreign currency. We are all enjoying this topic and how interactive it is, but we cannot believe all of our parents have to deal with this, being an adult is hard work…

We completed a homework project to complete a presentation on our Christmas holidays. The children that presented these during our talking and listening exercise did very well and shared their well prepared projects with their peers.

As it was Robert Burns night this week, we have been learning about his life and work. We have been creating portraits by sketching and using the technique of pointillism to do this.

Have a lovely weekend

This week in Primary Three Science, our budding Biologists were fascinated to learn all about the major organs inside the human body. We explored what each organ does, and discussed the ways in which we can help to look after them.

As we know that exercise and healthy living are a key part of looking after our bodies, we linked our Science to Taught Writing, where we all created instructions for our own exercise routines.

Next week we look forward to moving on to learning all about Inheritance.

Today we enjoyed exploring an important event happening all over the world – Chinese New Year. We listened to the traditional story of how the Chinese Zodiac came to be, and learned that this year is the year of the Rooster. We also watched videos of different Chinese customs and traditions that happen during the festival, and felt inspired to create our own dragon masks and traditional fans.

We painted our fans red and gold as we learned that those colours symbolise luck, as does the dragon.

Happy New Year!

新年快乐
