This week we began our topic on the rainforest.
The children shared what they already knew about the rainforest, what they would like to find out about the rainforest and any questions they had.
Number Lines
Primary 4/3 were given the task to write a number on their board and get into the correct order from smallest to largest without speaking to each other.
Phonics
Primary 4 have been consolidating our new sounds!
Maths Burst
Primary 4 have been learning about tessellation!
Children’s Rights
We have been exploring a variety of Articles within the UNCRC. We used a variety of relevant Articles to compile our Class Charter. We understand that these are universal entitlements for all children and can identify our own responsibility to make sure our classmates enjoy these rights.
Making Thinking Visible
We have been using a variety of Making Thinking
Visible strategies to explore the characters, main events and key themes within our novel “Wonder”. We especially enjoy debating some of these through a “tug of war”, where listening to the views of our classmates can often influence us to change our minds!
Natural Disasters
We are thoroughly enjoying learning about a variety of Natural Disasters through our Social Studies topic. We have completed a variety of research about the difference between natural and man made disasters and used our facts to write super Explanations.
Rocks and Minerals
Primary 5 have been exploring different rocks and minerals that can be found on Planet Earth.
Creating Crystals
Primary 5 carried out an experiment to create crystals as part of their science topic exploring Planet Earth.
Fantastic Fundraiser
This wonderful girl made bracelets during the summer holidays to raise money for St Andrews Hospice. A representative from the hospice came out to the school to recognise her wonderful fundraising efforts.
