As part of our STEM leadership, we invited Miss Hutchison’s class to join us to share our learning on Micro:bits so far.  We worked collaboratively sharing our learning and we learned from them too.

To continue our STEM learning, we’ve been discussing where our food comes from and we worked together to make some butter.  We enjoyed our butter spread on some gluten free bread.  Our follow up activity was to write instructions on how to make butter from shaking/agitating double cream/whipped cream.  It was so fun!   We used our collaborative and creative meta skills.

We’ve been monitoring the growth of our sunflowers as part of our learning on STEM.  We’ve been developing our knowledge of unit conversion – cm/mm.   We’re excited that our sunflowers are growing well! 

We’re developing our knowledge of what plants need to grow.  We all planted our own sunflowers and will monitor their growth over time, using our measuring skills.  We also created beautiful sunflower art using our creative meta skills.

We’ve been exploring new hardware in the form of Micro:bits and accessing BBC Make Code software, to develop our coding skills.   We created coded sequences to make a flashing heart and then extended our learning by inserting our own code to include letters or other pictures, within the flashing heart sequence.  We used our creativity and curiosity meta skills.  We will continue to extend our knowledge throughout Term 4.

As part of our learning in numeracy , we recently worked in pairs to measure different things in the playground as well as the perimeter of the field and other areas.   We used our co-operative and communication meta skills as well as problem solving skills.

We had a really nice time today; visiting the Day Care setting and spending time with the service users.   The service users were very kind and made us teddies, which we could take home.   Our thanks goes out to them all!    We also decorated wooden hearts and enjoyed colouring time.  It was lovely to be able to have a chat with the people visiting Day Care today.  They kindly shared snack with us too!  Some of the service users commented on how respectful and kind our class are.   Thank you to all who helped today and Shereen, Rosie, Stacey, Laina and all staff at Day Care.   We shall continue to build on these links to the community.

Thank you to everyone who could join us yesterday for an afternoon of dancing.  Thanks also to Miss Stewart and her brother Darren, for the live music.   Fabulous to have live music.  Alison from the canteen made delicious cakes/biscuits and Mrs Manson organised refreshments.   Thank you ladies!  Some Primary 7 pupils joined too and members from the Nesting and Girlsta Jarl Squad opened up our dance for us, which was great!  Very much appreciated.  We had a fun afternoon and it was just so nice to see everyone.   We’re planning to learn more traditional dances in our Teacher Led P.E. time.

Following our recent visit to Montfield, Mrs Birrell has kindly uploaded videos of the children singing onto Youtube.  To access, please click on the links below:
