Christmas has landed at ELC!
We have been busy doing lots of Christmas crafts dressing up activities, reading and singing for our ELC show!
We have also had a cheeky elf visit our nursery, we look for him everyday to see what he has been up to!
We cannot wait to see you all next week at our ELC shows on Tuesday and Thursday!
Primary 4 have been learning about human rights and diversity. We have been thinking about children who are not as lucky as we are. We had a vote in class to decide if we wanted to buy a Unicef Advent Calendar to help others or if we wanted class games for ourselves. We voted to help others and, every day we open a door and find out what we have bought to help boys and girls around the world. So far, we have bought chalkboards for children to write on, 15 pencils for writing and drawing with, a mosquito net to prevent a family from getting malaria and a vaccine to protect a child against measles.
We had an interesting time sharing our Block 2 Homework with each other. Well done everyone. You have worked hard on creating interesting games, posters, power points and dioramas. Here are some examples from P6B.
We have lots of fun lining about space in the P3 class room and the other P3 class room
I struggled when I did the monkey problems but I figured it out with my partner.
On Tuesday P7 made Sushi. They watched a tutorial and took notes. After they made the sushi they got to try it. They could choose from fish, cucumber, pepper and avocado. They cut it in to smaller bits to eat it. Lots of people liked it but others didn’t. Then they all wrote a recipe on how to make sushi using their notes. They wrote down the method,the ingredients and equipment. One of the challenging things was when you were rolling up the sushi in tinfoil because it would come out and spill everywhere. Some people thought it tasted a lot better when you added soy sauce but others thought it was disgusting.They enjoyed making it and here is what some people thought of it.
Lucy and Skye said they liked it.
Immy said she loved it.
Anna said she liked it but would prefer it without sea weed.
We have been practising our mental addition skills in class. Practise makes perfect so try these websites at home!
Some of the P6 and P7 pupils went to Galashiels for the Scottish Borders Sports Hall Athletics finals. The first event was the obstacle course which they won. They came second overall at the event and will now go to the East of Scotland final in Edinburgh. Well done!
This block we have been learning about diversity, looking at other peoples view and beliefs and learning about our rights. We have been hearing about some child refugees that have had to leave their homes in Syria, and the lack of basic rights that has left them with.
As it was Thanksgiving today in America we talked about what we are thankful for and created our own Thanksgiving turkeys using our hand prints – our class came up with some really thoughtful and positive things that we are thankful for. Some examples are: our families and friends, safe homes, healthcare, clean water, healthy food, education, our health.
We have using our knowledge of body parts to play games in French. Today we learned how to play beetle drive. Qui a gagné?
