Happy holidays!

What a fun week we have had! We’ve spent time looking back at everything we’ve done this year and enjoyed watching a slideshow of everything we’ve been up to!

Thank you to everyone for being super in P5A and I wish you lots of luck in Primary 6. Enjoy the holidays!

Growing Tatties in the Polytunnel!

This morning we went outside with Mrs Moar to the polytunnel. We got tatties from the Grow Your Own Potatoes project and are looking forward to seeing the results.

Isaac – it was cool!

Jenna – It is fun!

Chenet – I loved finding the slaters.

Ellla – I love finding slaters as well.

Jed – It was pretty easy to plant the tatties.

SSPCA visit

Yesterday we had a visit from Louise from the SSPCA.

Chenet – She told us lots of things about caring for our pets.

Isaac and Erin – We saw a story about kittens on buses and dogs in vans.

Ella – We learned that you can go to jail for hurting animals.

Thank you for visiting us!!

Smoking

Today we had a visit from Jill Hood, Health Improvement Officer. We learned about the dangers of smoking.

We got to have a look at some of the chemicals in cigarettes. These include

  • tar – which you find on the road
  • nicotine – which is addictive
  • butane – which is found in lighter fluid
  • ammonia – which is found in toilet cleaner
  • lead – which is found in roof tiles

as well as many more dangerous chemicals.

We also got to see a healthy lung and that of a smoker — the difference was huge!!!

Learning our times tables – the fun way!

We’ve been trying new games to help us learn our times tables. Last week we started to play Beat My Score. Using 12 sided dice we are able to practice the times table we are working on. We are hoping to see improvement each week as we try to get as many right as we can within two minutes!
