As part of health week, the fire brigade came to our school to remind us how to stay safe at home in the event of a fire and taught us how to prevent them in the first place. We know we should turn off all electrical appliances and if we’re ever on fire, we should stop, drop and roll. Mrs Smith beautifully modelled a fire fighter’s uniform! Have a look and see how we got on!
Today our caterpillars arrived in primary 2/1 and we are all very excited. The pupils carefully filled vials with food then we transferred a baby caterpillar to each one. We are all very excited to watch them grow and hopefully in less than two weeks they will become chrysalides. We will keep this page updated with pictures of their progress.
On Monday Primary 1b went out of the school grounds to explore our beautiful environment as part of our mile a day. While we were walking we were using our senses to spot signs of spring. We could hear birds singing, we saw new grass growing and buds starting to bloom and even spotted some small creatures including a little snail. We also enjoyed building some bug hotels and getting lots of fresh air.
Primary 1b have been enjoying their science topic this term and have been learning about the sense of sight. They learned how our eyes work then had fun doing activities with their eyes open then closed. They had to build a tower, draw a house and make a cat with plasticine. We then went outdoors and recorded how things look with and without a magnifying glass.
Yesterday the pupils in Primary 1b were engaged in their Scotland topic through Purposeful Play. They were making tartan, preparing information booklets about Kilsyth, constructing a bridge and managing a very busy Tourist Information Centre.
We have created an updated blog from the one pupils have been using so that the posts from previous years can be removed. You can still access this by clicking on the link, Previous Class Blog, under the BOOKMARKS section on the right. Each class is learning to blog to share their work with others. We hope you visit us regularly to see all the wonderful things that are happening in St. Patrick’s Primary.
