Our focus in P7 is currently substance misuse. We have looked at various types of substances including drugs, alcohol and caffeine and have investigated the dangers and effects these have on our bodies. We decided to conduct a science experiment so that we could actually see the effects of alcohol on the human liver.

I understand the effect that a range of substances including tobacco and alcohol can have on the body. HWB 2-38a

We completed science investigation sheets to explain the aim of our experiment.

Here we we are conducting our experiments.

Before we we left the classroom today Mrs McDougall asked us to fill in an exit pass to explain something we learned or were able to take away from the experiment.

Primary 2/3 have been learning a new roll in gymnastics. It’s called a Teddy Bear Roll.  They have also been practising other skills during an obstacle course. Mrs Cryans worked with the children in the practise area to help with their rolls.The children had the opportunity to work on other skills they had learned in gymnastics by working on the obstacle course. 

Primary 2/3 work safely and responsibly in the gym. They pack up the equipment carefully every week. 

At gym this week P3/4 worked in pairs to practise counterbalances and in groups at fitness stations. Our focus is to develop agility, balance, coordination and strength.

Primary 3/4 were learning how to measure classroom objects in milimetres and centimetres.  We compared our answers and learned that 1cm = 10mm.  Next, we are going to learn how to measure in metres.

Primary 2/3 have been showing off what they have learned in gymnastics. They can perform their skills using apparatus. This has been challenging.  They performed rolls, balances, jumps and poses. 

We have been working on our balances in primary 2/3. We have been working in pairs to perform mirror balances.
