In P7/6 China has been our focus topic this term. We have spent time doing lots of practical activities such as creating a working bobsleigh track and building a model birds nest stadium (inspired by the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022) , sculpting our own Terracotta Army, perfecting our Chinese calligraphy and practising our paper folding skills with some origami.
Primary 3/2 have been working with Primary 1 to explore and investigate friction and gravity. They have been developing scientific skills such as planning a fair test, using questions and ideas to create an investigation and designing and carrying out scientific investigations. They made parachutes using different sized cupcake cases, explored friction with teddy zip line races and investigated gravity and friction by rolling balls of different sizes and shapes down the hill and observing how the size and shape of a ball had an impact on the speed at which it travelled.
As part of the children’s Brave topic they made their own bows and arrows using coat hangers and then used real bows and arrows.
P1 – For our talk for writing we were learning about the gingerbread man, we made gingerbread men biscuits, used role play to make our own endings to the story, and followed reading and writing instructions to make dancing gingerbread men.
Our preschool pupils joined primary 1, 2 and 3 to take part in some Easter Activities. They created Easter chicks, made Easter nest cakes and designed Easter cards using oil pastels and water colour paints. Great fun was had by all!
Primary 1 have been joining the nursery for outdoor learning. They have been playing in the outdoor nursery area, planting flowers and today they had an Easter egg hunt.
Primary 3/2 had great fun creating Red Nose Day Bath Bombs!
