What a fantastic week we have had in P6 and P5/6. We were visited by a dragon! Read on for more details…
Article 29 – Your education should help you use and develop your talents and abilities.
P6 took part in first aid training today thanks to Mike and Dave from Lowport Centre. This was organised after P6 took an interest in first aid during our drugs education topic. The training was excellent and P6 have gained some valuable life skills. Here’s what P6 thought:
Amy says, “I was glad I took part in it because it’s an important skill.”
James says, “The dummies smelt funny”
Ian says, “Both the men who were running it said that I was the best.”
Arran says, “I learned how to do CPR properly!”
Niamh, “I learned how to put somebody into the recovery position.”
Euan “It was really fun and it’s a great life skill. The adults were much harder to give CPR to.”
Ayla: P2 and P2/3 made a volcano explosion. We mixed ingredients to make the lava and put it in a plastic bottle. It only exploded a wee bit.
All of the children were very excited to see the explosion!
Maya: P2 and P2/3 have been busy writing about dinosaurs. We were learning to use full stops, capital letters and to write on the line. We loved drawing the picture of the dinosaur.
Alex: Now P2 have moved on to a new topic which is the Olympics. I want to find out why they do lots of sports in the Olympics. This year it is happening in Rio.
Yixuan: We wrote what we know about the Olympics and what we would like to find out.
Cameron C: In the Olympics there is a lot of swimming races and jumping.
Daniel C: I would like to find out if they play rugby in the Olympics.
Izaak: I want to know if they play golf in the Olympics.
Kiernan: I learnt that the Olympic torch goes all around the country before the Olympics start.
Aiyasha: In maths I learnt that ½ means 1 half.
Kieran: We have been learning how to half a cake and half numbers.
Cameron A: I learnt an easy way to add 9. You add 10 and take 1 away.
Daniel: I’ve been learning to add 10.
Niamh: This week we learnt a new word which is ‘mature’. We are getting ready for going into P3!
Well done to the star of the week: Andrew!
It might not feel like or look anything like Spring outside but, it’s a whole other story in P7 Science this week! We are investigating how flowering plants reproduce so, it’s time for some dissection!
Josh “It was more fun than a normal lesson!”
Ellis “I liked learning about the pollination, fertilisation and germination.”
Robbie “It’s cool to see the inside of a flower properly.”
Ryan “I didn’t know that was how flowers reproduced.”
Amber “I liked learning the parts of the flowers even though I sneezed a lot!”
Article 29: Your education should help you use and develop your talents and abilities. It should also help you learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people.
In PE we have enjoy learning to curl and target practice with javelins. We are getting much more accurate and consistent with the curling stones. Then in Science we had a lot of fun rolling different balls down the ramp to see which ball went the furthest. First we made a hypothesis of which one would go the furthest and then we tested. We found that the hockey ball when the furthest probably because it’s the heaviest one. Below are some pictures of us testing.
Also we are nearly at Manchester on our walking map. So far as a class we have walked over 300km!
We won the Goblet of Good Manners this week!
This week we got started on our personal projects. We chose a country in South America and researched using the internet and using fact books from the library. We have been very positive about this project and lots of enthusiastic vibes coming from the class.
Don’t forget the deadline for this project is the 6th June. We are looking forward to seeing them finished! Keep up this great work P7b.
This term P3 are learning about the Olympics in Brazil. With a partner we researched some information about Brazil using the internet. We have looked at Vinicius and Tom, the Olympic and Paralympic mascots. Vinicius is a mix of all the animals in the Amazon so we designed our own Brazilian mascots using the animals too. We are going to write stories about our mascot’s adventures.
We have used oil pastels to illustrate the Olympic torch and we made Olympic ring paper chains.
Now Lewis is looking forward to writing about his mascot’s adventures around the world. A.J. would like to make a paper Olympic torch. Jack is looking forward to finding out more about the Olympic rings and what they mean. Katelyn is looking forward to meeting Liam Davie, the champion gymnast and Darcy would like to learn more about all of the Olympic sports. Everyone is excited about our new topic.
