P4/5 have been having learning about Symmetry in maths and this week they have been able to take their learning outside!

This involved a trip to Hoswick beach to make 2D + 3D symmetrical sculptures using natural resources found on the beach!

The pupils loved this.  “This is fun!”  “We get to do maths outdoors”

They listened to the instructions, worked together and created some super sculptures.

Big thank you to the parent helpers – without you this couldn’t have happened.

6 weeks of hard work between Mr Fraser, Mr Hayes + Mrs McClelland’s classes paid off yesterday afternoon/evening.

We couldn’t be prouder of how hard each and every pupil worked and how it all came together for the parents/guardians/family to see.

Nearly the end of term, holidays are coming and more importantly Santa!  Enjoy the festivities when they come 🎄🎅

We were incredibly busy with making our products for the Christmas Fayre.

We recycled old Christmas cards to turn them into labels for Christmas presents.  The pupils enjoyed cutting these out, putting Christmas ribbon on it and packaging it up in bundles of 5.

Our other product took a bit more time and effort. They were worth it though.  We used green wool and cardboard to create Brussel Sprout pom poms.  Once they were made into pom poms they glued on googly eyes and crowns.  Very cute.

We also helped out Claire in the library by selling some of her lovely Christmas bookmarks.

On the day I had some very helpful children help set up and work the stall during the fayre.

We did really well too. Lots of hard work in the lead up but always worth it in the end.

 

Last week we had a super time when UHI Elanor + Fiona came to do STEM with us.  We worked together to problem solve using giant Mechano.
