Well done to all children who made their First Holy Communion on Sunday. It was a lovely Mass and you all looked beautiful.
We enjoyed a Communion cake in school on Monday and had a little celebration.
This week in Literacy Primary 4 and Primary 4/3 have been reading a play and acting it out. They have looked at the importance of scene descriptions and instructions in a play.
From the play the children were able to identify the key moments: who is doing what; what phrases, actions and instructions are important to understand the play.
The children then worked together to put the key events of the play in order and then concentrated on retelling the story in their own words.
It was great fun!
Primary 4/3 and Primary 4 really enjoyed Zumba. Here are some pictures of us dancing. It was fantastic.
Isla – “It was lovely to see Nina again and it was great fun!”
Erin- “We learned some dance routines.”
Lennon – “It was an exciting and fun.”
Emma- “We had a dance off which was cool!”
Jack – “When we were dancing it was so hot but good.”
Michael – “It was very energising.”
Iona – “It would be fun for all the family.”
After visiting the museum last week Primary 4 and Primary 4/3 decided to create Viking artefacts to showcase their learning.
We used our knowledge of the artefact and our technology skills to build the artefacts and write descriptions of the artefacts. Have a look at our amazing artefacts.
Today we went for a visit to the National Museum of Scotland. We all had a fantastic time. We saw lots of Viking artefacts including pots, jewellery, weapons and utensils. We even saw a Viking man’s grave! We know that Vikings were buried with objects that were special to them. We saw one poor horse who was buried with his master. We got to handle a lot of Viking artefacts too. We found out that the Vikings used ice skates and that they played games that were similar to chess. Following lunch, we had a quick visit to the fantastic animal kingdom, and then we were homeward bound for St Nicholas and Broxburn.
Thanks to all our helpers today: Miss King, Mrs Fitzpatrick, Mrs Chaudhry and Mrs Chatterjee.
Tomorrow (Thursday 13th February) Primary 4 and 4/3 are going to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. We are all looking forward to seeing Viking artefacts and learning more about the Vikings. We will be able to touch Viking artefacts and we will take notes and draw pictures of what we see.
Please remember packed lunches and to wear school uniform. You do not need any money to have fun and learn about the Vikings.
Primary 4 and 4/3 have been very busy learning about the Vikings and making some Viking items.
We made Viking helmets. We made them using a balloon and paper mache. When they had dried we painted them and made a nose protection for them. Look at us with our helmets on.
We also made Viking cups. We designed them on paper and then painted our Viking design. We then wrapped them around a cup. They look very like cups the Vikings would have used.
Some children also designed a Viking stone. We painted our designs onto a stone carefully. The Vikings used stones to record their history and stories about Gods so we have tried to copy some of them.
After learning about Viking Ruins we used Viking Ruins to write our names.
Finlay and Ben also built Viking Longships at home.
We enjoyed all of these art and crafts activities.
Primary 4/3 and primary 4 have been learning all about time. We can tell the time on digital and analogue clocks. We have made posters to tell people what we know about time.
We enjoyed playing different time games together.
