From Monday 10th February the intention is that :
It is expected that the project will be finished in 2 weeks – weather permitting.
P3 and P4/3 were given the challenge to design and make a pair of Roman sandals that would fit a member of their group. After looking carefully at the design of Roman sandals they had to choose their material and then work out how to make their sandal. All teams created a pair of sandals that stayed on and the majority of teams made sandals that fitted the team member it was supposed to fit. Judging from the designs there are definitely some budding fashion designers of the future at work here!
Primary 7, Primary 7/6 and Primary 6 have started preparations for the School Show this year. They have all applied for their role they would like and the Primary 7’s have started practising already! They are so excited and can’t wait to begin rehearsals this week…
Primary 7 pupils were given the challenge to prepare, organise and run a Burns’ Supper. Pupils had to organise the food, table plan, place mats, place cards, write the script, provide entertainment, present and do readings and serve the food and drink. This was organised in just a few hours of class time. 180 guests attended and had a wonderful afternoon. Here are some photos from the planning stage.
Primary 7 attended a ceilidh at Bathgate Academy. Pupils danced to wonderful live provided by the music department. P7 pupils showed off their dancing skills doing the Dashing white sergeant, Gay Gordons, Military Two-step, Canadian Barn dance and Strip the willow. They also tasted haggis bon bons made specially for us by the pupils from Home Economics. Thank you, we had a great time!
Primary 1 have been busy learning about Scotland. On Monday, we got to taste shortbread, oatcakes, cheddar cheese, Tunnock’s caramel wafer, Irn Bru and Mackies haggis crisps! I think the majority of us liked Irn Bru and caramel wafers the best!!
We have also been doing lots of writing about Scottish people and places. Here are some examples of p1b’s writing about Katie Morag! We hope you enjoy our stories!!
P2B enjoyed Science outdoors as part of their “Living Things” topic.
First they put out food for the birds then they made snowbirds. After that they tried to build a snowman which was as tall as themselves.
P3 and P4/3 have been extremely busy this week making equipment for Roman soldiers. They learned about the differences between Celts and Romans then had to design their own shields. The shields had to use Roman colours, have arrows, a centre gold piece to protect their hands and be symmetrical. Then we used silver and gold to create our own Roman soldier helmets.
Children in Primary 2 have been learning about traditional Scottish foods. They really enjoyed a tasting session where they tried all different types of Scottish food including haggis, neaps, tatties and oatcakes and cheese. They also enjoyed making the Scottish dessert cranachan.
