Leave a reply

All classes from P5 to P7 are taking part in Challenge Friday this year. They compete in their classes to complete different problem solving challenges each week. There is then a winning team from each class and an overall winner each week. Points are being kept and a league table is displayed with the winning points each week. Challenges so far have included creating a tower with spaghetti and marshmallows, building a strong bridge from newspaper and paper clips and creating a cup pyramid using only a ‘cup mover’.

As we are a Rights Respecting school we have been looking at the articles from the UNCRC that are especially related to our life in school and class.   After a whole class discussion we identified which articles we could use.  We then decided what the children and the teacher could do to help the children get these rights.   We then brought it to life my making a treasure chest display.

As part of our theme on animals around the world we have been working on climate and how if affects different habitats. We discussed why climate change is happening and how we can take steps to reduce the pollution. In groups we created posters encouraging people to stop climate change by recycling, walking instead of taking the car and turning off the tv when it’s not being watched!

We have just started our topic on Animals around the World.  So far we have identified the major continents and oceans of the world and have classified animals into groups.  We have also investigated animal habitats all over the world.

For writing we thought it would be great fun to do a practical activity before we started our writing.  We made an animal face sandwich. After we made our sandwich we wrote instructions to show how we made it.

Don’t they look amazing!!  The children were very proud of their work.

We observed and recorded what we did and shared our findings and conclusions with the class.

044 042 041 039 036 034 033 029 024 016 012 010 008 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!

002P3 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.
