Miss Rodford was very impressed with our raft building skills this week!
We had to work as a team to design a raft and think about what materials would be good for building a raft that would float. Then we chose different materials and used super team work skills to build the raft!
Finally, we got to predict and test out of our rafts would sink or float!
Have a look at our super pictures!
This week Primary One have been busy learning about ways to make 10. We were lucky enough to share our super learning with some special visitors who were very impressed with our maths!
We have also been learning how to tell the time to half past! This has been tricky but we are going to use our Growth Mindset and keep trying!
We have also been learning how to write questions to find out more information.
We also got a surprise note from Captian Blackbeard asking for our help! He wants us to make a raft to help him to get back to his ship so we wrote back to say we would love to help him.
Finally, as a treat for working so hard this week, we spent some time outside playing on the new trim trail and the tyre park! It was so much fun!.
Well done Primary One
This week, Primary One have been learning to sort, make tally carts and organise their results into a barchart. We have also been practising our measuring skills. We used different items such as cubes or lolly pop sticks to measure different pieces of Pirate treasure!

The RRS group have been busy over the pat few weeks creating a Lunch time Charter. We onducted a survery and found out that the lunch hall could be very noisy and we were wasting alot of food.
So we created a charter to give some rules to how we act and our responsiblities in the lunch hall. We also have rewards for children who follow the charter and they will get a lunchpass for the courtyard! Hopefully this will make the lunchhall a quieter and less wasteful place!
April’s Right of the Month is ……
Article 42
You have the right to know your rights!
Adults should know about these rights and
help you learn about them, too.
UNICEF believe that children and young people are to become responsible citizens, they need the chance to participate in the world around them.
If they are denied the right to take part in their community, they will struggle to learn how to become responsible members of that community as adults.
Adults should teach and inform children of their rights.
At home, see if you can teach your family abit about the rights!
Can you name some rights?
Can you talk about why they are important?
Here is a video with abit of the history of Children’s Rights
