On Wednesday morning P5, P6 and P7 children were offered the opportunity to take part in a Cardio to Music exercise class that I ran in school from 8.30 until 9.00. The feedback was very positive and I look forward to seeing how many children will join us this Wednesday. These 2 taster sessions will determine if I shall continue this style of class after the Easter Holidays. Why not try it out?
This afternoon, we carried out an experiment to determine if carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen. We worked in a team to complete two different tests. We most enjoyed mixing vinegar with bicarbonate soda watching a reaction unfold.
We have been learning the meaning and use of improvised Drama in class. The children are put on the spot in the role of a character in a variety of different scenarios whilst the audience watch the story unfold.
This week, we used our topic, the Titanjc as our stimulus and we watched very harrowing situations as characters boarded lifeboats.
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 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!
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. 
P2 shared their reading books with their big P6 reading buddy today. The P6 children enjoyed discussing the story, characters and pictures with their P2 buddy.
P6M and Miss McCabe would like to thank everyone for their generosity donating books to make our World Book Day fundraiser so successful. An immense 1437 books were donated and an even more whopping £490 was raised over the 2 day event.
This event showed the true meaning of world book day as we shared reading and books around the world, all the way over to Ghana.
A massive well done to the boys and girls in P6 for their hard work in putting the entire event together.
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.
