We had a lovely afternoon celebrating with the children who made their First Holy Communion on Saturday. It was great to chat about their special day with a slice of cake!

Last week, we worked as a class to make Turkish Delight because in our novel there was a chapter called Turkish Delight. In the story Edmund is given Turkish Delight from the Queen. The Queen had enchanted the Turkish Delight and Edmund never wanted to stop eating it.

This week the boys and girls in P3/4 have been learning about money.

We played at lots of different stations; making amounts with different coins, problem solving, sorting coins and role play.

In class we have been retelling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Today we have got to the part in the story where Golidlocks tried the three different bowls of porridge. To make our writing fantastic we did some work on TASTING.

We used dictionaries to help match adjectives to their meanings. Then a thesaurus to find alternatives to temperature words. Afterwards we practised using different ACTION words to describe how Golidlocks ate the porridge. Finally, we got to taste some porridge!

Mrs McDougall and 10 Primary 7 children were very lucky to attend the John Byrne workshop on Wednesday 27th March at the Tannahill Centre.

John Byrne has been our focus this term in art and we entered the competition by completing art work inspired by the artist himself.

We enjoyed the workshop in the morning with Ruth Aitken and then were treated to a fabulous buffet! Look out for footage online of the children completing their sketches

We really enjoyed working with Glencoat’s Primary and getting to know the pupils better by taking part in a portrait challenge.

As part of STEM Fortnight P3/4 created Homopolar Motors. Take a look at them in action!

Milosz: “I was learning about how to use electricity.”

Louise: “I liked it because it was fun and we got to make electricity.

Primary 3/4 had a fantastic time at the library today! We met author Renita Boyle. She taught us some songs, played games and she sang us her book, Honk! Honk! Rattle! Rattle! We were also very lucky to all receive a copy this book! She challenged us to become storytellers and read this book to someone.

Today P3/4 visited the library and look what we found on the way! 

We were so excited to see our Chinese Dragon displayed at the Inspired Exhibition!
