P2 are shape detectives

Primary 2 have been learning all about the features of 2D and 3D shape.  They know how to count the corners (vertices), faces and edges.  The children were shape detectives at home and searched for 3D shapes in their house to make their very own 3D objects.  They used their imagination and created a wonderful selection of objects.  Some of their objects include robots, a house,  a mouse, a church, a skylander, a car  and a doctor’s needle.  The children enjoyed showing their friends their hard work and talking about the shapes that they used.  Here are some photographs to show all of our hard work.

Thank you to all of the mum’s and dad’s for helping the children on their projects!

P7 Anderson Bomb Shelter Homework

bomb shelter 055For the past two weeks primary 7 a have been busy at home building their Anderson Bomb shelters.

We learned that the Anderson Bomb Shelter was designed in 1938 by William Paterson and Oscar Carl Kerrison. The shelter was named after Sir John Anderson, the man responsible for preparing Britain to withstand German air raids.

Have a look below to see our models of  an Anderson Bomb Shelter.

Homework Challenge!

Dear Parent/Carer

HOMEWORK CHALLENGE

This term your child has been learning about Transport, particularly comparing modern day modes of transport and transport from the past.  They have been learning about penny farthings, horse and carriages, steam trains and the first air travel.

Their challenge is to create their own model of one of these modes of transport using everyday materials.  Please return the completed model no later than Friday 10th October.

It would be lovely to display their masterpieces for all the other children and parents to see at our showcase event on Friday 17th October at 11am.

Many thanks for your continued support.

You have the right to enjoy your own culture, practice your own religion and use your own language

Miss Crease and Miss Woods have been overwhelmed by the outstanding quality of our amazing Australian research.  We were given a homework challenge to find out more about the country.  Some of us created posters, leaflets, information books and powerpoints.  We enjoyed working with our families to create them and even our mum’s and dad’s learned new things too!

We looked at Australian wildlife, artefacts, the six states, people and landmarks.

Here are some examples below:

Chariot Challenge

Miss Crease and Miss Woods were extremely impressed by the hard work and effort that went into our homework challenge.  We used lots of household recycled materials to create Roman chariots as part of our class topic.  We enjoyed explaining to our classmates how we made them.  Finlay even made a Circus Maximus! 

Owen’s grandad kindly provided a Roman soldier’s outfit to show the class.  Owen felt like a real gladiator!

Thank you to all family members for helping your children to create such amazing masterpieces!  We will be showcasing these to P4 on Friday morning.
