We learnt all about the life of St Andrew and why St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland. We made little Scottish flags too (Saltire- Greek for Cross).

P1/2/3 Get Together – Space
P1/2/3 told everyone about their learning this term on Space.
This included facts about the Moon, Sun and Planets. They demonstrated a mnemonic to help you learn the order of the Planets from the Sun and read out one of their own mnemonics.
The children demonstrated Orbits and how Day and Night works. They showed their artwork and talked about Tim Peake and life on the ISS.
Thank you to all the parents who came along to our Get Together.
Rockets
The children have been showing their wonderful rockets they made at home for Topic homework.
Some pictures have still to come!
Easter Activities
P1/2/3 made marvellous Easter bonnets and brought them into class!
They also learned the Easter story, decorated eggs and went on an egg hunt in the park to practise their addition skills.
Our Thaumatropes
Thaumatropes were popular in Victorian times. They were a type of optical illusion.
P1/2/3 made their own one, which was the bird in a cage. It was great seeing their eyes light up when they saw the optical illusion.
Decoupage
We have finished our decoupage covered scrapbooks and they have now been sent home to be filled in!
The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch
The children were joined today by our visiting Specialists.
This included Mrs McGaffney for Music, Mrs Bennett for Drama and Miss Mailer for Art.
In the morning Miss Mailer built marvellous lighthouses with the children and showed them the easy way to draw seagulls.
Mrs McGaffney used the Ipads with the children. They put sounds to pictures using musical instruments and their voices and then recorded these on the Ipads. These were then demonstrated to the children on the smartboard.
In the afternoon, the children made still pictures and used mime for different scenes of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch story.
Thank you all our specialists who came today and made the day so enjoyable.
