We always love to hear what P4/5/6 have been up to when they are not at school. One of our P4s brought in his medal from a recent athletics competition. He won 3 out of the 4 events! Amazing achievement!

In Term 3 we were learning about Fairtrade. We talked about what it means and who it affects. We learned about people in other parts of the world and the different things that they can grow in their warmer, tropical climates.
We all love chocolate, but do you know what happens before it arrives at the shop for you to buy? We do! Our class learned about where cocoa comes from and all of the different parts of the chocolate making process. It is important that people involved in this process are paid a fair price for the food that they produce.
We looked for the Fairtrade logo on different products and tried out a couple of different recipes containing these products. Everyone helped to either measure, mix, whisk, fill muffin cases or wash/dry dishes. What a busy morning we had! Then we each enjoyed a muffin at snack time. Yum!
There were several requests to have the recipes posted on our blog so that they can be tried out at home too.! See below for the recipes.
Working with a partner, we spent time researching different foods that we want to see being traded fairly. Our research posters are on display now for all to enjoy.

One of our P5 pupils brought in their medals from a recent swimming competition. He was also the overall 9 year old boys winner! Well done and good luck in your next competition on the Scottish mainland in the holidays!

Tuesday 14th March
It seems that we have another snow day, Draatsi class. Hopefully you will get a chance to play in the snow at some point today. Remember to wrap up warm!
Here are some things that you can try today.
Have fun if you are playing out in the snow today. Be careful when sledging and walking on slippery surfaces. Hopefully we’ll see you all again tomorrow!

We did it again! Everyone has worked hard to earn pegs for their super effort, perseverance and kind actions. This week we managed to reach our goal and have planned to have a disco on Monday 20th in the school hall as our class prize.
We have begun learning about Fairtrade and what it means. We worked in groups to sequence the different stages of making a chocolate bar. We were surprised by how long it takes to go from planting cocoa trees to buying chocolate in the shop! We are finding out just how important it is that these farmers are given a fair price for their hard work.
On Wednesday, while we were getting ready to go home, we were treated to some fiddle tunes. We love to hear music in P4/5/6!

Our class had fun exploring the human body with the visitors from The Glasgow Science Centre today. In the morning we were given the chance to play with different interactive exhibits relating to different parts of the body.
Later on we took part in a Disgusting Digestion interactive show.
It was great fun and we learned about the journey of food throughout our bodies.
Somehow, we also managed to squeeze in a session with a local musician today! We were treated to some dialect singing and fiddle playing by Claire White. She planned a busy session looking at some interesting local stories and how she managed to turn these into songs for people to remember.
Then we split into groups to write our own stories and eventually turn these into songs. Some groups chose their own local stories to develop. These included the St Ninian’s Isle treasure, The Queen opening our school in 1969 and the Braer Disaster. It was a lot to do in the short space of time, so we didn’t quite manage to finish this today. Next term we are looking at local history, so we will save what we have achieved for now and build on these again at a later date. I look forward to seeing what we can produce!
Well done Draatsis!

Hello everyone! I hope you have managed to enjoy the gorgeous snowy weather. Have you been sledging? Built a snowman? Snuggled up and watched a film? Read from your book?
As we have been working on our 5 sentences with correct punctuation in class, can you write down what you have been doing with your days at home? Remember…5 sentences with capital letters and full stops/exclamation marks/question marks.
If you are not venturing outside today, I have set some Sumdog tasks online.
This week in Maths we are starting to look at Multiplication and Division, so the following websites could be used for practice. We are looking at the 3x and 6x tables first, so this would be a good thing to work on at home.
Multiplication Miner – Mathsframe
Hit the Button – Quick fire maths practise for 6-11 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)
Dartboard Multiplication – 7-11 year olds – Topmarks – for some challenge!
We were planning to look at the next part of Mission 3 for The Children’s Parliament this week, so you could start thinking about this at home, in preparation for returning to school tomorrow. Please note down your ideas to bring into school.
Hope to see you all tomorrow!

We had our class prize today! When our peg jar was approaching the finish line, we all voted for what we would like as our prize. There was no clear winning idea, so we have enjoyed laptop time and crafts. It has been a lovely, relaxed afternoon full of creativity and fun!
I wonder what everyone will vote for next time…?
