P6’s trip to the science centre…
Last Thursday p6 went to the science centre it was very fun. As soon as we got to the science centre a leader came and told us the rules on the bus when we were in the science centre we put or jackets and bags in a big box.
Next we went upstairs to the 1st floor and Miss Lynch told us that we had 10 minutes to look around the 1st floor after 10 minutes was up Miss Lynch called us back to group together .
After that we went to play with all the activates on the 1st floor here are some of them. The tilted room, upside down room, money trick, invisible harp, beach ball with a air blower it was very fun.
Then we went up the stairs to the 2nd floor and some of the activities are mind game, water activities, dance room, racing car.
Overall we had an amazing trip and would highly recommend the science centre for people of all ages!

Creative Comic Writers
Recently, a comic book author called Paul Bristow came into the school and told as all about creating comics and how he created his own comic designs. He gave us sheets of paper and pencils to draw with. We debated whether story or artwork were more important – agreeing that both were important for different reasons. We used a character invention creator to help us come with unusual and creative main characters. These include zombie princesses, dog ninjas and many more! We looked at the importance of colour and onomatopoeia phrases to draw in the reader. Our work is displayed up in the library, have a look next time you are in. Overall, we had a great session!

Snow inspiration in P1a!
P1a have been making the most of the snow today by exploring how to create art in the snow. There was lots teamwork and even more laughter!
The activities were child-led with a focus on discovery learning. If you look through the photos you will see evidence of colour-mixing, sculpture painting, dabbing, splatter painting, printing and shaping.
Can you spot where some of the children even made number dot patterns and wrote our ‘oo’ sound in the snow?

New teacher in P1a…
Mrs Burns and Ms Rainey better watch out, there’s a new teacher in town! The boys are practising their counting strategies during spontaneous play. Amazing how something new in the water tray inspires lots of imagination. In case you are wondering, the children are making ‘jelly’ and are going to ‘put it in the fridge until quarter past six!’
Check out our Healthy Food Sway…we’ll be adding more to it over the coming weeks!

Brilliant Bodies
In science we are learning about the human body.
The first week we drew around each other’s bodies and drew all of the things inside our body and labelled them.
Last week we were learning about the blood in our veins and different systems in our body. We saw how the blood goes around our body in the veins to different parts of our body like a train stopping at different train stations.

Back to School in P6, Term 3
On our first week back, Miss Lynch sent us on a hunt all around the school looking for pictures.
We did this hunt to see what our topic was.
We had to put all of the pictures together to try and guess what it was.
Here are some of our guesses:
Over the years?
Events over the years?
Changes over the years?
Famous events?
By the end we had a few close guesses.
Miss Lynch told us that our topic was called…
THROUGH THE DECADES!
