Today P3/4W searched the environment for different types of angles. We used right angle testers to find right angles in the playground. Then we used sticks to make right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles and straight angles.
Today P4W went outside to learn about fractions. We worked in groups and used sticks to split shapes into equal parts to show different fractions.
P6T have had a busy first week back. They have been researching the Scots language and making Sots dictionaries as well as creating electrical circuits using switches, bulbs and buzzers. They even created burglar alarms to keep annoying members of their family out of their bedrooms!!
On Friday 15th December, P4W and P4N held a Christmas Fair for their parents and family members. – Haydn
We made crafts to sell. We decorated plates, we made French Christmas cards and calendars and we made reindeer dust. – Joseph
We made cakes to sell to our parents. They were truffles that looked like Christmas puddings. – Logan S.
We played games like pin the nose on Rudolph, guess how many sweets in the jar, guess the hare’s birthday, find the lost present. – Yuyang
Everyone had a different job to do. They were finance manager, managing director, marketing director, sales manager and production manager. I was the finance manager so I was in charge of the money. I had to work at the check out and charge the customers and give them change. – Jack
As part of their Extreme Earth context, Primary 7H have been looking at the effects of Natural Disasters on communities. One of the problems people might face after an earthquake or flood is access to clean water so we looked at what could be used to filter water in the case of a Natural Disaster.
Miss Campbell set up the experiment with us asking us to find out which materials are best to filter out the mud and debris often found in water after a disaster.
We used sand, stones and cotton wool to try and filter the water, we recognised that cotton wool could be swapped for clothing after the event of a disaster as cotton wool may not be readily available.
We made predictions about what materials would be best at soaking up the dirt in the water and found that putting both the stones and cotton wool together was the best. We decided that it would still be best to boil the water after cleaning it up to make sure it was safe to drink.
A big well done to the families who have taken part in the family learning cooking sessions over the past 4 weeks delivered by Forth Environment Link.
We have been learning how to make our meals more sustainable and environmentally friendly through using locally sourced and in season ingredients.
We made lots of tasty dishes which were really simple and easy to make!
A big thank you to all the staff at Forth Environment Link for delivering these fun and informative sessions for our families.
Below are some Festive recipes for you to try at home, Enjoy!

*Measuring using scales and measuring jugs.

P6 went curling at he Peak on Friday 10th of November. They learned how to brush the ice well and how to launch a curling stone. They learned why they weren’t slipping that often (the ice had bumps in it) another thing that they learned was that professional curlers have one grippy shoe and one slidy one.
