To celebrate Guy Fawkes night we made our own ‘fireworks’ in science today. We used milk, food colouring and washing up liquid – a really easy activity to try at home.
After carrying out the experiment and researching the scientific facts behind it the big class wrote a set of instructions for the wee class to follow.
Colourful fun for everyone!!!
We have just had a lovely visit from local artist Steven Brown.
Steven answered all of our questions and told us all about his famous paintings.Â
We showed Steven the art work we have created based on his work.
He loved them!!!
He then very kindly gave us all a signed copy of his new colouring book 🙂
We couldn’t wait to get started on our favourite pieces
These are the questions we asked Steven …
Do you draw first and then paint? CM
Where do you get your ideas from? LO
How do you focus? AG
Why do you choose bright colours? MD
Is it easy or hard to paint the animals? MYC
How do you paint the colours so neatly? KD
How do you stay in the lines? LD
Do you work independently? HA
For Outdoor Learning today we had lots of fun playing time games. First we played days of the week hopscotch
Then we had to find the months of the year that were hidden all around the playground. We had to identify which month special events happen and also find our birthday month.
After that we got busy making our own clocks and testing each other to make different times
We then made a huge clock
and finished off our lesson with a game of
‘Whats the time Mr Wolf?!’
MD “I liked playing Whats the time Mr Wolf?’
ES “I liked making the clocks and playing Mr Wolf”
KS “I liked making the clock because we got to use twigs for the clock hands. I liked playing the big clock game but the wind kept blowing the hands!”
MYC “I liked using our little clocks and making the time with them”
LT “It was fun playing the game when we moved the big clock hands”
OL “I enjoyed playing whats the time Mr Wolf – I was the fastest”
HA “I enjoyed all of it!”
LO “I had fun playing the clock game”
We are delighted to announce we have achieved the
SILVER accreditation for Dyslexia Friendly Schools.
Well done everyone!!!
We have had a spooktacular afternoon of dancing, games and goo!
This morning Primary 6 came to visit the wee class and helped us to play a variety of spelling games. We had lots of fun playing “Spelligator” “Scrabble Junior” and “Word-search” as well as completing jigsaws and playing bingo.
We think the P6 boys and girls made great teachers!
P1-3 have been working hard at home researching a country and finding facts to share with the rest of the class. Pupils chose their own way of presenting the information they found … we even got to try shortbread and fortune cookies! Yum!
Well done everyone! Projects are now proudly displayed in the gym hall 🙂
Here is what the pupils enjoyed about their homework task …
“I enjoyed colouring in the great wall of china and I loved trying the fortune cookies” KS
“I like my castle and Scotland flag. I liked colouring in with Gran.” ES
“I liked putting Luigi and Mario on my poster because they come from Italy” MD
“I liked helping Mum make my poster” MYC
“I liked making the poi and showing it to the class. I liked typing on the PowerPoint” OL
” I liked wearing the hat and all of it” HA
“I liked doing my PowerPoint and helping my mum” CM
This term P1-3 have been coming up with their own imaginative and fun ways to learn their spelling words. Ideas include singing, making word searches, using toys and even food to practise words.
As a Dyslexia Friendly School this encourages pupils to choose a way that helps them to learn as well as making homework more fun!
Have a look at some of our pictures below
In Maths this week P1 have been counting and ordering numbers to 10. They are able to identify the number before and after a given number and can spot the missing number in a sequence.
