Sports Relief – Carmondean Primary School Blog

Primary 5

An exciting time has been had by P5 this week.

The children really enjoyed their trip to Bannockburn despite almost being blown away when we visited the monument! When we went in to the exhibition the children got to touch weapons, armour and shields that were used during the battle. We then got to witness the battle in 3D which caught many children by surprise and the screams were not just on the screen! We then went in to the battle room and the children were divided in to English and Scottish armies. In both classes the Sottish won. Hurrah! The children had great fun trying on the different clothes that were worn by the various soldiers. They also got to touch some fearsome weapons but they all came back with 10 fingers and toes! All children impressed the staff at Bannockburn with their knowledge and interest in this part of history. They were a credit to Carmondean Primary.

In reading the children are almost finished their Scottish Wars of Independence fact file. We are very impressed by the detail the children have included and we think they are impressed at the amount of writing they have done!

In writing the children wrote senses poems connected to a battle. These were very detailed and the children were able to capture the atmosphere in a battle very well. The children will re-draft their poem next week as we want to put them on display to showcase their talent in writing.

A big thank you to Mrs Smith and P6 who guided P5 through a session of HiiT training to celebrate Sports Relief. The children worked very hard and were exhausted by the end!

P5 visited the nursery this week to read with the boys and girls. The children read a variety of stories to the nursery pupils and enjoyed the experience greatly. They are looking forward to having this as a regular responsibility in p6.

P2/1 21st March 2018

This week we have been learning a lot about Easter and Easter traditions. We have been enjoying finding out about how we celebrate Easter and the different traditions we take part in. Tomorrow we would like to have a go at decorating and rolling eggs. If possible can could you send a hard boiled egg to school with your child.

We have also been looking at symmetry in Maths this week and designing our own symmetrical Easter eggs.

On Friday we will be visiting the church for our end of term Easter service.

Remember that tomorrow is also a dress down day for Sports Relief. Children can come in their sports clothes and make a 50p donation. We hope to be taking part in some sporty activities in class!

Update 14 March

Next week Primary 2 will be very busy.

On Wednesday afternoon we will be having a visit from an animal handler. He will be bringing in animals that are adapted to live in either very hot or cold countries. Last year a snake, a lizard and a meerkat were seen by the children. This will be great fun.

On Thursday at break primary 6 will be holding a bake sale. Primary 2 should bring in money if they want to buy a cake. The money made from this will go to the Sports Relief charity.

On Friday everyone will be raising money for Sports Relief. The children are asked to dress up in something sporty and to bring a contribution of 50p to school with them. All proceeds will be donated to this worthwhile charity.

Have a great week.

Primary Five 4th March 2016

This week we have finished our topic on the Scottish Wars of Independence. We have completed our end of topic tests and are looking forward to finding out how much we know now compared to the start of term.

In Writing we learned about the legend of Robert the Bruce and the spider and made comic strips to show the story. We will be displaying these in the corridor at the office so if you are in be sure to have a look.

In Health we have started our bullying topic. This week we talked about peer pressure, what this means and what we should do if we feel people are trying to force us to do things.

Next week we will be starting our Science topic of Solids, Liquids and Gases. This will be a good chance for us to take part in some experiments.

Next week children will need indoor gym kit on Tuesday only for FUTSAL.

On Friday 18th March P6 are organising Sports Relief. Wrists bands will be on sale for £1, there will be a sporty dress down day for 50p and children will get the chance to beat the teacher at a sporting activity at break time which will cost 50p. On 17th March P6 will also be holding a cake sale.

We hope you all have a good week.
