Primary 1 have been very active while learning about money . They have been learning about the value of coins and have looked at the difference in their appearance .
Through active play the children were able to successfully use a variety of coins to make different coin collections up to 10p .
At gym we have been learning about gymnastics . We have enjoyed learning about all the different shapes we can make with our bodies .
We have also been learning how to balance and jump .

In Primary 2 we have been busy learning about money and practising our number skills using lots of resources. We have been enjoying lots of active learning using our numicon tiles, blocks, whiteboards and smart board activities. We have also been using the Sumdog app to reinforce our learning and we are getting much more confident using this app.
Our topic this term is ‘under the sea’. We will be learning about sea creatures, boats, waves and the water cycle. We also hope to take part in a competition about water pollution towards the end of the term. Our display is almost complete- photographs to follow.

This week we were learning about engineering .
Miss McLaughlin set the children a challenge to build a structure that could stand for at least a minute . They had to use spaghetti and marshmallow to create a structure similar to the Eiffel Tower .
Firstly we looked at similar structures on the smart board and discuss what made them successfully .
We had a lot of fun working together and even enjoyed eating a few marshmallows too !
Next week we will be learning about Science .

Today we enjoyed some outdoor learning where we used the crisp weather to come up with some adjectives for our upcoming writing challenge!
We also took the opportunity to advance our current topic on space, by considering the changing lengths of our shadows throughout the day.

Today we applied our problem solving skills to create a structure similar to the aqueducts used by the Romans! Some top engineering skills on show! We recycled household materials during the construction process; many thanks to those who brought in materials.

Peimary 2/3 have been working very hard on a variety of activities across the curriculum. The children enjoyed making hedgehog houses, Christmas globes, recycled items from waste, a leaf man, symmetrical snowflakes using mirrors and showing off their drama and music talents at The Christmas Show.
The children have worked very hard with their partner and groups to complete a range of number talks activities using number sense games and are continuing to make excellent progress in reading, phonemes and spelling.
Myself and P2/3 would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our Eco committee members had been conducting secret inspections of all classrooms at lunchtime to make sure they were sticking to their Switch Off Fortnight Promise.
We were making a concious effort to stop using energy when not needed in order to help in the fight against Climate Change.
We are very pleased to announce that all classes passed and were successful in keeping their promise! They were rewarded today with certificates.
However, just because Switch Off Fortnight is over doesn’t mean we won’t be continuing to save as much energy as we can.
Well done everyone!

Today we discussed some of the art produced by Vincent Van Gogh. We then produced some art that merged Christmas and Van Gogh!
