P3/4 enjoyed playing their musical instruments this morning.
They’ve been practising keeping the rhythm and playing together as a group.

Today we had our first Lunchtime Library Club session.

The boys and girls enjoyed a good book and a quiet space at lunchtime.

Our Place Value games got very competitive. Highest number wins!!

 

It’s a draw!!!

We got to choose our own level of difficulty for our Place Value worksheets.

We also completed our dot-to-dot hedgehogs by counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

Phew! What a busy time we had!!

Well done P3/4 😁

P4 have enjoyed a wide variety of activities during science week.

We started with a visit from the Glasgow Science Centre where we attended the Fossil Fuels Science Show. We then got to participate in a ‘Powering the Future’ workshop.

In class, we learned about helicopters and experimented with paper versions.

Later in the week, we explored SCRATCH, an online coding website, and created our own animations.

We like to say a huge ‘Thank you’ to all our fantastic parents who came into class and shared information about their careers in the Science and Engineering Industries.

Mr Wards also brought in his 3D printer with some cool objects that had been 3D printed. Some even glowed in the dark!

 

Primary 1 enjoyed a wide variety of learning experiences during British Science Week.

On Monday we enjoyed a visit from the Glasgow Science Centre. They brought along their Fitness Lab so that we could learn about our amazing bodies.

We also had a visit from Mr Wards who brought in his 3D printer plus some cool objects that he’s printed. Some even glowed in the dark!

Mrs Thomson also brought in her Tesla car and told us about renewable energy and how cars can be more environmentally friendly.

Thanks also to all the Mums and Dads who came along and spoke to us about their careers in the Science and Engineering industries. You were all brilliant!!

Phew! We worked hard today!

In literacy, we were learning all about our new sound ‘o’, practising our common words ‘on’, ‘for’ and ‘it’, making CVC jigsaw words and making words with our new sound ‘o’.

In Maths, we were learning about the value of different coins and buying and selling things from our class shop.

 

P4 have had a busy week this week. On Thursday we had fun learning about STEM with our Lego WeDo kits.

We built Milo our Mars Rover and used the Ipad to control its movements.

Wonder what we’ll design and built next week? 🤔

 

This week P6D were learning about stored (potential) energy. We discussed rechargeable batteries and how animals (and humans) get their energy from the food that they eat. We now know that sloths move very slowly because their diet mainly consists of leaves which contain carbohydrates. Cheetahs on the other hand eat meat which contains carbohydrates, proteins and fat, allowing them to have much more energy and move a lot faster.

Finally we made catapults that use rubber bands to store energy. This allowed us to fire balls across the classroom!

 

P1 discussed what ingredients and equipment would be required to make a jam sandwich. The boys and girl then followed a set of instructions and made their own sandwiches.

They were VERY tasty!
