Another week in P4/5K
This week the class went and participated at Mass as it is the season of Lent and the Primary 4’s are preparing for the Sacrament of Communion.
Snapshot jotters have gone home today to let all parents see the super work the children have produced in class. Please remember to sign the jotter and leave a comment.
P5/6A and P6 School Trip
P5/6A and P6 had a wonderful trip this week to, “The Tall Ship, ” in Glasgow.
Firstly a huge thank you to those parents who came along to help, you were fantastic.
We had two workshops one where we learned to be archaeologists and locate artefacts correctly, and then we guessed what some of the objects were and lastly sorted which were real, over 100 years old , and which were fakes. Can you tell from the photographs?
We then had a super workshop where we learned about, ” Morse Code,” from two retired Merchant Seamen, who were really interesting to listen to and let us try Morse Code ourselves.
I hope you enjoy our photos as much as we enjoyed our day!
Hard at Work in P5C!
We used our budgeting skills to plan a party for 10 people. 
We are using what we know about money.
We are having fun working on our animations for our Topic. We have looked at animation and we are using Stop Go Animation to create our masterpieces. 
Back to Normal
Now we are back in school full time the children have been working hard as usual.
The class have been calculating amounts of money using coins and matching amounts of money written in a variety of ways; £1.25, one pound twenty five, 125p.
Mr Grant was in to continue our experiments on recording heart rate. Having looked at ways to eliminate error, when using the sensor, the children came up with some super ideas. The photographs show one of the ways; place your hand on a table and place a finger on top of the sensor.
A Catch up with P5C!
We have been working hard and doing lots of fun activities.
We enjoy reading with our P1 reading buddies. 
We loved practising our Think Dance and then performing at the MacRobert.
We enjoyed buying books at the Ghana fundraising book sale. 
St. Mary’s Theme Park
As part of our Disney project each animation group is going to design a theme park ride. The ride your group will design shall relate to the animation film you are currently filming e.g. Star Wars, Harry Potter etc. On a blank sheet of A4 paper, or in your homework jotter, draw a draft design of you ride. Give it a title, the age range/height it is appropriate for, how the ride works, how long it lasts and the price you will charge people. Add more information if you want as we prepare to design our own theme park. You can base your design on all the fun things you would like to do at a theme park or have experienced. Have fun!
World Book Day
Normally we celebrate World Book Day by dressing up as a character from a book and we look for photographs to be handed in that show unusual places to be ‘caught reading’.
If you are dressing up today at home, as a character from a book, take a photograph and try and find an unusual place to read your book!
I know P4/5K have Dr Seuss costumes they could wear again; have a fun day whatever you do.
Snow and the Engineer Challenge
As the weather has been so bad roads around Stirling have closed and people are being advised not to travel in the car. Can you think as a design engineer and overcome this problem? What could you design to help people continue to travel in these conditions? Something to help cars cope with the conditions or another form of transport that would make travel easier; looking forward to seeing and hearing what you come up with. Keep me posted.
Snow Day
Did you manage to try out anything in the snow? We did.
Our volcano in the snow worked and we built Olaf,our Disney character. Still trying to get the bubble experiment to work.Think it is too warm outside, will try again later.
Looking forward to hearing what you have all been up to.
