What a busy bunch!

We have had an extremely busy couple of weeks. The children have settled into the new school year wonderfully. The Primary 1 children are learning the routines of class well and the Primary 2 children are making excellent role models.

We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures of our learning.

Nursery Transition Mornings

We have had two busy days. Yesterday we took part in a selection of technology activities. Building using different materials, including chickpeas and magnets. We even made and tested our own catapults. Today we made the most of the good weather and spent time in the outdoor classroom. Miss Baillie worked with us to make pizza too. Delicious!

P5-7 World Mars Day

Primary 5-7 enjoyed world Mars day today where they engaged in a variety of activities. Pupils had the opportunity to engage in a Live Q&A whole class zoom call with real staff members at NASA before using a range of oil pastel techniques to create their very own ‘red planet’. In the afternoon, P5-7 explored what life would be like on Mars and even created their own houses designed to survive the harsh Martian climate!

 

Mars Day

Today was Mars day and we celebrated by learning lots of interesting information about Mars. We have explored Mars as part of the wider Solar System, questioned the possibility of life on Mars, imagining what Marstians might look like.  We also looked at how robots are used to help us understand more about the planet Mars and  used Kinnex and junk to make models of space robots.
