Scottish week in Primary One

We had lots of fantastic scottish things in our class last week.

We had plaques showing family tartan, scottish food, scottish plants and bagpipes and kilts.

We had Nessie and Scottie dogs and the Scottish flag.

We even had a kaleidoscope which was invented by a Scotsman called Sir David Brewster!

We had great fun designing our own tartan and, for the school assembly, we all made a ‘craw’ and sang 3 craws!!

We danced to Scottish music and we made a procession behind Andrew as he played the bagpipes while we played the drums!!

P7 Learn about Scottish Inventors

Last week Primary 7 spent time researching some Scottish Inventors. They learned that Scotland has been responsible for an number of inventions that have made a large impact on the world.

They were challenged in groups to present information to the class about their inventor in a creative way.

 

Two of the groups decided to make a song about their inventors (Alexander Graham Bell and Alexander Fleming). These are attached below. I’m sure you will all join me in congratulating them on presenting their research in song.

Pizza Please!

 

Primary 6 enjoyed their trip to Pizza Express. We got a tour of the kitchens and the storage rooms and more importantly we got to make our own pizza from scratch! We tasted 1 slice……….Okay, 2 slices. And we managed to resist eating the rest until home time.

Some blew off in last week’s high winds but Mrs McGuire rescued them. We have also been getting P2/3’s help to fill up the other bird feeders on the fence.

P7 Learn some Sign-Along

Primary 7 have been working on learning some Sign-Along with the help of Jakki.

They have learnt the alphabet and some other words to describe animals, food and activities.

They have enjoyed the lessons and can sign their name. My challenge for next week is to learn their names to be able to sign them at assembly!

Yesterday we were very excited as our parents came to visit us in the Rainbow Room. We enjoyed showing them our room and all our work.

Brodie liked making the snack with his mum and Jack liked showing his mum the room and all his tokens.

P5 visit to Lime Kiln

As part of out Food and Health topic, Primary 5 visited the Lime Kiln restaurant on Wednesday. We had a tour of the kitchen, created our own salads, decorated biscuits and had a delicious lunch.

Primary 5 asked the chef and manager loads of great questions, here are some of the many things we found out:

‘I learned that different coloured chopping boards are used for different foods.’ – Luke M

‘I learned that the meat has to go at the bottom of the fridge because if it is at the top it might drip onto other foods.’ – Scott

‘I learned that the freezer is minus 18 degrees. We couldn’t stay in there for very long.’ – Abbey

‘I learned that they have up to 6 chefs when they are busy.’ – Shane

‘I discovered I like olive oil on salad.’ – Samuel

Thank you to all the staff at the Lime Kiln for an informative, fun and tasty visit!
