We have been learning about forces in class.
We tested how far different cars could travel and what affected the distance they could travel such as different surfaces and weight.
In the park we explored what you had to do make the equipment move – either push or pull or both.
Our Wedding!
As part of our RME project, the children have been learning what churches are used for.
On the day before the Royal Wedding, we had our own little wedding in class and reception/party for the Big Day!
Our Pirate topic
Here are some photographs showing some of the activities and learning we have done in relation to our Pirate topic.
This has included making our Pirate ship, reading pirate stories, Drama – Life on a Pirate Ship and Island and Soft Play activities including role play in the ship.
Visit to the Church
Last week P2/3 visited the Church where Reverend Perkins kindly showed us around and explained different items in the church and what they were used for. We even got to go upstairs!
P1/2 have been learning about parts of the Church and what it is used for in RME.
Thank you Reverend Perkins!
Forest Activities
Here are some of the activities we have been doing in the forest this term. This has included using saws and peelers and learning how to keep safe with these.
The children have also been learning 2D and 3D shape, grouping and sharing.
Making dens in the Forest
P1/2 this term have been making different dens.
It started off with little ones for our fairies whose homes were blown away by Sneezy the Dragon.
We then made dens in which at least one person could fit in to.
Finally we learned how to made square knots, which we used to help us make a freestanding den with a tripod. In all of these tasks we were learning the skill of working with others.
Transport Museum Visit
P1/2 are just back from their fabulous time at the Transport Museum in Glasgow.
We started off with a tour with the Tram Man who guided us around the different trams showing us how they worked and how people had to board them and sit on them too. He also showed us their safety features with the help of Rhys who ended up being below one of them!
We then had a walk around the many exhibits before lunch.
After lunch we continued our tour, which included going on board the steam locomotives, in and out of the old style shops and aboard the Glen lee ship, where some of  the children were put to work scrubbing the decks!
After our visit to the shop we had to go back home. A big thank you to Hazel and Mr Davidson who were our parent/grandparent helpers!
Expressive Arts in relation to Transport
The children read the book the Bus Under the Leaves about an old bus being found and then painted with multi-colours! They decided to make one and paint it too.
In Drama, they went on a Magic Carpet Adventure visiting a tropical island and the North Pole!
