Advent

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 could go to mass.”

“We could use kind words.”

“We could share.”

P7 ph experiment

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Secret Collection @ Paisley Museum

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.”

Alan: “How they make stuff like projects.”

Leon: “about the giant stones.”

Next time I go…

Louise: “I want to learn more about the stones.”

Alan: “I want to see the megalodon tooth.”

Julia: “I want to see the Lion.”

Dominik: “Me too.”

Conservation Visit

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! 🙂

 

 

Primary 2 gymnastics

Primary 2 have been working hard in gymnastics this term. They had the chance to work on their skills during a fun obstacle course. They did lots of jumping, rolling, balancing and posing.  Jumping was our favourite.

The boys and girls are very good at setting up the gym hall. They always listen carefully to instructions to make sure they are safe in the gym hall.

“I found it easy.” Kacper

“It’s quite hard to say.” Helen

“Snake is tricky to say.” Sean

“Bird is hard to pronounce.”  Hope
