Primary 5/4 news

This week we have been; buying red noses (a lot), enjoying Judo taster sessions (so much fun), talking about World Book Day and sharing our favorite stories, finding out more about King Henry VIII, litter picking in the playground, practicing singing  for our Easter Service, learning about fractions in our maths, learning about proper nouns in our writing and practicing for the Handball Festival next week.

 

Thank you to all the parents who have been sending pounds in for Red Nose Day, we made a graph out of ours to show the most popular noses.

Finally … ask some ‘sensible’ children to take the litter picking photos and this is what you find on the camera roll …

Day for Change

Thank you so much for all your amazing donations for Day for Change. Your spare change has really made a difference and will help children in Syria and the Philippines whose lives have been effected by war and natural disasters. A massive congratulations to the whole school for raising a huge £264.33, although the pupils did bag up the coins so we are probably a few pennies out (this will be a fun trip to the bank)

So, huge congratulations to Primary 2 for being the class winners. You will get your treat out of class with Mrs Monahan next week!

Big well done from Mrs Monahan, you all represented your school so proudly. You all had great team spirit and played excellently. I was so nervous for you all and loved cheering you on. I was very impressed they way you spoke to the other teams and were making new friends.

 

 

 

P5s food extravaganza with Stoneyburn

We enjoyed a fantastic day  working with all the Primary 5s at Stoneyburn. Adam said he really enjoyed and made some new friends. The boys and girls really enjoyed working with other children. We had a very interesting day all food related. First we tried some porridge with lots of toppings. Next we researched some of  our favourite foods and where they came from in the world. We then enjoyed a trip to Asda where we were shown the bakery and we got to talk about and try lots of fruit and vegetables. Thank you to Sharon in Asda who was wonderful with the children. We then bought some ingredients to take back to school to try cutting up and making our own healthy wraps.

P5/4 news

We have been busy learning all about an artist called Yvonne Coomber this week, this is her painting called Dancing Hearts

.Yvonne Coomber Art  Dancing Hearts

We spent time looking at her work and discussing the different feelings we could see in the paintings. Then we created our own unique pictures. We used a variety of colours of paint and paint of different textures. First we chose the backdrop colours and blended the paints. then we created the green stems and finally the flowers. We hope you like them. They will be displayed in school for a while before they can go home.
