Primary 3 have been learning about Sound. As part of this mini topic, they were set the challenge of making a musical instrument using things from home.
They all put in lots of effort and managed to make some fantastic instruments!
Well done Primary 3 🙂
We celebrated Chinese New Year in the nursery today. We enjoyed noodles for snack, wrote in Chinese characters at the arts and crafts area and had fun pretending to be a Chinese dragon to lovely Chinese music.
At the end of our nursery day, we took home some lucky Chinese money envelopes with sweets and fortune cookies. Many thanks to Thomas’ mum and Megan’s mum for kindly gifting these for all our boys and girls.
Gong Hey Fat Choy everyone!
Primary 3 and 3/2 have been learning about what a sarcophagus is and what the Egyptians used them for. We learned that after the mummification process, the body is placed in a sarcophagus and then put in a tomb.
We then decided to make our own sarcophagus. First we thought about what design we would like on the top of our sarcophagus and drew them on our sarcophagus design sheet. Next we copied the design onto a template of a sarcophagus. Then we cut out our sarcophagus templates and scored along the dotted lines. Finally we stuck all the parts together.
We think they look amazing 🙂
Today we had a great day celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! We learned about the life of St. Patrick in Literacy, Maths and R.M.E lessons. We read all about the symbols of St. Patrick’s day then answered comprehension questions. We used our knowledge of times tables to create a picture of a leprechaun and we learned how St. Patrick used a shamrock to tell people about God and the Holy Trinity. After looking at symbols of luck, we discussed how we are all lucky in different ways.
Primary 4 had a busy day on no pen day. We still completed lots of work. This morning after P.E we worked on Maths games to deepen our knowledge.
After playtime, we had NYCOS then we played VCOP games and made an oral story by adding a sentence each to the opener. It was a funny story.
After lunchtime, we had a turn on Sumdog then we did some drama freeze framing images from Harry Potter. Look at us in action.
Finlay – No pen day was fun , we did lot of educational things without writing.
Finn – It was fun and I really liked Maths and the drama was awesome.
Hana – I had fun doing the drama about Harry Potter.
Fraser – I enjoyed lots of tasks on no pen day.
Sterling and Karolina – I enjoyed playing maths games.
Ollie – I enjoyed no pen day as it was good not doing any writing.
Callum – I liked doing drama as it was fun doing the freeze frames.
Is is that time of year again and we have various fun activities planned for the children to raise lots of money for the 2015 Lenten Appeal.

In Language and Literacy we have been reading the story “A Tale of Two Robots” by Roy Apps.
We have been creating our own new chapter to the story where the Robots, Robert and Nita, decide they are tired of cleaning and go for a day out. However, they face a few problems. Here are a few examples of the problems they faced:
After writing our new chapter we acted it out in a group. Look at some pictures of us in action.
After a bit of a delay (of just over a month), the second St Nicholas Movie night took place last week. With ice-cream, a bottle of metled ice and a build a snowman kit being handed out on arrival, I;m sure you have guessed the theme – it was ‘Frozen’, but with a little twist – the words appeared at the bottom on the screen so everyone could sing a long. It was another roaring success with a £300 being made by the end of the event. Everyone had a fantastic evening and as well as coming dressed for the occasion, were in great singing voice. A huge thank you to the Filmclub for organising the night and congratulations to the winners of our raffle.
