Primary 6W have started to transform their classroom into a castle. We have made wooden panels for the walls and created shields for our groups. We have also started to build different objects for the castle. Keep looking out for updates on our progress.
Working with the Rekenreks! P1/2 use them to count, add and take away.
On a Friday Primary 7 work with their Primary 1 buddies. After reading together Primary 7 have been helping their buddy to read and write the common words.
Well the weaving has commenced to make Hamish a new scarf…..it may take us some time! We hope Hamish doesn’t want his new scarf soon. This activity hopes to give the children a better sense of weaving and the next steps will be to sew using a needle and thread.
Today primary 1 used weaving techniques to design their own tartan. We found out it was pretty tricky but we all worked hard to master the technique. We are going to set up a weaving loom in class to make a new scarf for Hamish McHaggis.
Primary 2 completed their toys this afternoon. They worked so well together and the finished results were fabulous! The children thoroughly enjoyed being Toymakers!
As part of our Toys topic, Primary 2 have been very busy designing and making their own toys. They worked collaboratively, in groups of 3, to carefully design their toys before making them, using household junk.
What a fun (and messy) day!!
Primary 1 have been so excited with the snow!!! Unfortunately not enough snow had fallen for us to build a snowman……..so we wrote a story about one. We had lots of fabulous ideas for what our snowmen got up to. We had snowmen parties, make-up parties, flying snowmen, pirate snowmen, unicorn snowmen, lost in the forest snowmen, mountain climbing snowmen, going to the movies with snowmen…….our imaginations were really working today!!!
Primary 5 have started their journey into space through their topic. We have discussed what we already know and what we would like to know. We added this to our floorbook and we can’t wait to add lots more information and facts to it as we go along.
What we know:
What we want to know:
We can’t wait to share what we learn about space with you.
Primary 1 is collecting evidence about the Loch Ness Monster as part of their Scottish topic. We will be studying the Hamish McHaggis books by Linda Stachan and Sally J Collins. We will use the books to learn about some Scottish wildlife and landmarks as well as some traditional Scots sayings. The children found the saying ‘Haud yer wheest’ particularly amusing.
If you have any stories about Loch Ness or any Nessie sightings, please share them with your child and they can share them with their friends in class.
