We have been learning about the properties of 2D and 3D shape in maths this term. After learning to draw 3D shapes, pupils tried making 3D models using wooden sticks and blue-tack. Pupils really enjoyed making cubes, triangular prisms and squared-based pyramids. Some pupils even started to build houses with the resources.
After learning about insects, Primary 5A used their wildlife area to gather up materials (leaves, twigs, stones, berries) to create their very own outdoor insect pictures.
We were treated to a performance by the Shetland Youth Orchestra last week in the Sound Hall. The orchestra is made up of children from all over Shetland including both primary and secondary, and their musical talents are amazing!
We were introduced to all the different instrument families including brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. We listened to a mixture of music including classical, swing and even a theme tune or too. We particularly liked the Wallace and Grommit theme tune which they played as we were leaving the hall.
What a very enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon!
We have been learning lots about invertebrates in our Living Things topic and the pupils were able to work together and find a whole host of invertebrates (minibeasts) living in our wildlife area. Pupils were very respectful of their minibeasts habitat and took care to return any rocks or stones back where they found them.
This week we have been revising our 2D and 3D shape and learning about the properties of a shape. We went outside and searched for shapes that make up our environment. The pupils had a great time taking their learning outdoors.
This week we have been learning about living things in our topic, including the different animal groups. In groups, pupils chose an animal group to research and create a poster. They are looking great and we can wait to see the final products.
