This year the pupil council have been working hard to revamp our house point system. We have decided instead of a weekly extra play on a Friday afternoon we would rather have a larger treat at the end of each month. In November St Mirin had collected the most house points and they received the first house reward of 2018.
We had juice and haribo at half time, playing games with Mrs Patterson was hard work.
Mrs Fulton helped us with some amazing Christmas crafts.
I had to concentrate really hard – Ula
I like playing with Kyle – Ross
Points are now being collected for our December reward which will take place in January 2019.
Today we performed another random act of kindness in our base. We attended the Christmas Advent Service at the church with Father John then afterwards we invited the parishioners and parents over for tea and a mince pie. We entertained them by singing some of our lovely carols and spreading Christmas cheer. Well done AGAIN boys and girls. What lovely things you have thought up to do for advent this year .
Primary 1 and Primary 2 would like to say a huge thank you to Primary 4/5 for showcasing their amazing musical talent. Primary 4/5 have been learning to play the tin whistle and we all thought they were fantastic. We especially liked Jingle Bells.
Next week Primary 1 and Primary 7 are coming together to celebrate Christmas. Primary 7 will be sharing some fantastic writing with Primary 1, so they wanted to make something to say thank you….. but ssssshhhhh….. don’t tell them.
Today primary 2 were learning about John The Baptist. They learned how he prepared the people for the birth of Jesus. They also talked about how we could get ready for Christmas Day.
We had a great time visiting the elderly residents of the Falcon Day Centre yesterday. We sang lots of lovely Christmas songs and received lots of compliments about our singing and entertaining. Well done children!!
I have collaborated in activities which safely demonstrate simple chemical reactions using everyday chemicals. I can show an appreciation of a chemical reaction as being a change in which different materials are made. SCN 2-19a
Today in class we looked at how an acid or alkali can be detected by a physical colour change to a ph indicator. We have been studying the periodic table over the last few weeks and this week we looked at the elements which form acids and alkalis, specifically everyday items we use or eat/drink.
Primary 3/4 recently visited The Secret Collection @ Paisley Museum. We had so much fun exploring the stores, learning about lots of different things and seeing lots of exciting artefacts. Then we had a very important job to do, we had to help the Museum label artefacts that had got mixed up when they were moved.
My favourite part was…
Sara: “I like everything.”
Leon: “The part we saw the big painting.”
Dominik: “The shark.”
Alan: “When we go and seen the car.”
I learned about …
Szymon: “We learned the museum is very old and the old old bikes and old cars.”
Yesterday Primary 3/4 had a visit from Kirsty Grant from TVC.
She worked with children on the topic of Conservation. The children had the opportunity to share their knowledge of animals and animals needs. Then the children made tasty bird feeders. We covered a pinecone in lard, seeds and sultanas. This will give the local birds plenty of energy. The bird feeders were then tied to trees in our playground. Finally, we did some bird watching and made notes on the kinds of birds found around our school.
We all had so much fun and are excited to continue bird watching at our school! Thank you Kirsty for visiting our class! 🙂
