Yesterday P6 visited Scotland Street Museum in Glasgow to experience what school was like in the year 1884.
They played with Victorian toys.
They put on a Victorian uniform.
They sat in a Victorian classroom and were taught by a teacher who explained how they would be disciplined if they dared to misbehave.
They wrote on slate with chalk and on paper with ink.
The class were able to share what they had learned from this experience in their writing this morning. They were also able to tell me they appreciate our school more and the style of teaching we now have today.
The Lego club managed to program our robot to complete the first into orbit challenge . The robot had to reach the gate knock it down and return to base.
Well done Connell and Teagan the link to your video is below.
We have now received our delivery of 90kgs of rice. Order forms were given to the classes today to enable the quantity and choice of rice to be identified as well as the price. The form should be completed and returned to the school, with the appropriate money included, before Wednesday 6th March.
£3 a kilo enables us to give the farmers a fair price for their rice. Please support this good cause .
Congratulations to Emily Sorley, Ruaraidh Docherty and Bailey Cooper who all were placed in the top 20 of their category at the recent Stirling Council Cross Country Event. They have secured themselves a place in the Forth Valley Schools Cross Country at Bannockburn High on Wednesday 13th of March.
Remember to bring in medals, certificates and trophies to enable us to recognise and celebrate your personal achievements too.
This week Ruby and Ivy Horne were able to show us what they were recently awarded for dance. Well done girls!
The class started the morning with a ‘Make 24’ task. A few of the children managed to complete this successfully and Emily showed us on the whiteboard the way she made 24 using the digits given, 7, 8, 1 and 5.
Our learning intention today was to identify key language used in maths in order to aid our understanding of word problems. We identified different terms that relate to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
When given different examples orally the class identified the method required to solve the problem before going on to write their own word problems and have one of their peers solve it. It was evident that many clearly understood the task asked of them and they created a variety of problems related to addition and subtraction.
We identified our next steps:
ensure everyone can identify the method to solve the word problem from the vocabulary in the question
groups will continue to create and solve more challenging problems.
P3/4 had fun making the water cycle in a bag. A fun way to learn about evaporation, condensation and precipitation. We will be watching avidly to see our oceans become clouds then fall back as rain. Thank you to Finlay for the photos.
Allowing our children to develop personally, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
My idea is better than yours.
