JRSO pupils get to test the speed gun!

Yesterday, our Primary 6 JRSOs had a visit from Police Sergeant Douglas.  He came to talk to them about road safety and asked them about their previous JRSO campaign.  He let them see the speed gun and explained how it worked.  We are very grateful that he gave up his time for us.  Please look out for more JRSO work coming in the near future!

Lights, Camera, Action!

While P6 have been taking part in their Play Leader training on Monday afternoons, P5 have been busy with Mrs Douglas, planning and preparing for their own stop motion animations.

Over the past 4 weeks, Liam, Eveline, Conor and Freya have been exploring how stop motion animations are created.  They have written their own storyboards and spent time creating resources for 2 different short stories.  These stories will be shared with P1/2 when they are ready.

Today the children began filming their stories and quickly learned that it was not going to be a simple task!  It requires a lot of patience, trial and error.  The group are learning so much from each other and it has been lovely to see everyone being so supportive.

Here are some behind the scenes shots of their filming session earlier today.

Maths with Mrs Douglas

For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been building on our understanding of angles – naming them, recognising them, measuring and drawing and using our knowledge to help us work out missing angles.  Some pupils wrote out instructions for their peers to use to help them draw angles of different sizes.  They then took on the role of teacher, supporting their classmates as they worked and offering advice when needed.  The lesson was enjoyed by all and it was clear to see that some pupils had gained in confidence after working in this way.  I think we have some future teachers in the class!
