Miss Fraser and secondary 2 came to our classroom this morning to show us how to make circuits, buzz buzzers, use switches and light up bulbs. We really enjoyed it.
Hector said “I liked the buzzing thing.”
Liena said “I liked when we made the red, green and blue lights.”
Bobby said “I liked the magic key one that made the fan turn fast.”
Reeta said “I liked lighting up Rudolf’s nose.”

Today primary 7 were planning the primary Christmas party. The girls painted a picture of a bobble and drew fairy lights and then painted them, this was for the four corners game! The boys were planning what to eat. They have a range of food on a list, from cookies to lemonade,witch meant they had a lot to add up. The Christmas party is on Wednesday the 16th, so not long to wait!

We love the Christmas tree that Duncan has decorated so beautifully.
Today we were doing our Task Force, based on the 12 days of Christmas. Task Force is activities we do in groups with mixed classes, from primary 1 to 7. We look after the school and make sure it is kept in good condition. But sometimes we do big group craft activities like at Christmas and Easter. Everybody enjoyed helping each other and making the crafts. It’s a great way to get everybody involved!

Today we were investigating nets of cubes. We used polydron to see how many different types of nets we could find. My group found 6 ways.
This week we have met Tiger Ten and learned our new phonics ‘m‘ and ‘r.’ We have been thinking about fireworks and how to keep safe on bonfire night. We also spoke about how to keep safe on dark nights by wearing reflective clothes. We went on a walk with Mrs Nicolson to look at 3D shapes in our environment.
We’ve had a busy week back at school after the holidays. We learned all about Naughty 9 and our new letter ‘h.’ We all designed and painted our own Minion and have been thinking about our new topic for this term which is ‘Light.’ We have chosen to turn the huge box we got into a lighthouse for us to play in, in the classroom.
This week everyone has been busy, busy, busy!
On Wednesday Wendy from Burra Bears came in to speak about her workshop. She showed us the bear they made for Shetland wool week. It was very interesting and we all hope she can come again.
In P.E primary 6 and 7 made a human pyramid and it was very hard to do! Everyone kept on falling over and we laughed.
In maths primary 6 and 7 made kites. They were very sturdy but some went in circles when they flew. Were making kites because we’ve been learning about the properties of shapes in Friday maths.
We hope everyone has a lovely holiday!
