STEM with Eleanor

We were SO lucky to have Eleanor back to do some work with Sphero robots… I did think that this was going to be a little tricky… but they bairns (as always) were amazing!! Lots of fun activities before getting to use the ipad to programme the Sphero robots! A massive thank you to Eleanor for coming to share this with us!

Big Question

We have been looking at the “olden days” and had a look at toys from now and then. The bairns enjoyed watching some videos of old toys being used and had great discussions on differences. They then did some sorting activities. Mrs Bannister then came in with some “old toys” from her childhood (and a thanks to Ashley’s mam, Linda for a bag of toys!) and the bairns all got a go! What a super afternoon! A special thanks to Mrs Bannister/Lewie’s mam!

Blubber Mittens

For our super senses, one of the bairns asked why walruses don’t get cold in the freezing water… so we did a little experiment to find out! We then shared this (along with other experiments) at our assembly.

Primary 1/2 Class Assembly

I was so incredibly proud of the bairns today (well more so than normal!) They put on their class assembly for the rest of the school and they did us all so very proud! They told the rest of the class about different super senses that animals have as well as doing some experiments… even Mr Clark got involved! A super morning! Well done! (Thanks to Mrs Johnson for taking the photos!)

 

 

 

Racket Activities

We have spent the first six weeks of this term doing racket activities in PE.  We have been practicing table tennis, tennis and badminton.  We have done a lot of individual work, developing our ability to hit the equipment in control.  We have also worked on sending and receiving with a partner both with and without a racket.

Fundamentals of Movement

We had Isla Ramsay in today to look at some fundamentals of movement where we focused on moving, balancing and throwing and catching. The bairns (and staff) had a super session and look forward to next week.

Big Question

Remember how your dad has curly hair and your mum has blue eyes? Just like you inherited some of their traits, let’s pretend you’re a little wizard picking out special features from a potion to make a new friend. What traits would you choose to pass on, like hair colour, eye colour, or even a big smile?
