Panto Project – 2017

This week P5-7 have been busy researching …

What is a pantomime?

The story of the Gaiety in Ayr.

and

The story of Cinderella

This resulted in some wonderful presentations!!!!     

Oh yes they did!

The materials provided by the Gaiety in Ayr had activities at CfE 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels.
The activities covered the curricular areas of Literacy, Numeracy, English, Social Studies, Expressive Arts and Health and Wellbeing.

Can’t wait to go and see Cinderella at the Gaiety next week.

Scottish Dancing

Pupils have learned a number of traditional Scottish dances.  They can put sequences of steps together to perform these dances and were encouraged to find fun in the experiences.

Whooping and clapping was essential!!

Words the pupils associate with this learning experience:

Science investigation 2 – Taste

 

Type of Taster Number in class
Non-Taster 2
Taster 10
Supertaster 5

The pupils said:

The food colouring tasted disgusting.

This investigation was quicker and easier than last week.

I thought the bumps were single taste buds but now I know they are groups of taste buds.

I learned new words while investigating taste.

You had to be careful with the food colouring.

We needed to be hygienic all the time.

Tongues have more to them than I thought.
