P3/4 have had two very special visitors over the past week. Last Tuesday we welcomed PC Dunlop, a local policeman, into class where he shared with us what his job involves day-to-day. This was a valuable learning experience for the children as they became aware of exactly how much the police do to ensure we are all kept safe. Today Mrs. Ewing visited, and gave us a presentation about her role as a physiotherapist. The pupils were eager to discover what her job entails and loved getting their hands on the models of various body parts! We asked PC Dunlop and Mrs. Ewing lots of questions to find out more about their professions and thoroughly enjoyed having them both in class. Thank you!
Primary 3-5 are going to increase our knowledge of bonfire night and fireworks by adding interesting facts to this post. I am looking forward to learning more about why we celebrate on the 5th and learning more about fireworks!
As part of our Japan topic, P3/4/5 were split into groups and spent the afternoon in the hall working collaboratively to create, rehearse and perform their own Japanese music in the style of the Mugenkyo drummers. Earlier in the day during RME, we were learning about Buddhism and the story of the Buddha. Many years ago, the Buddhists developed a form of meditation so we tried some for ourselves! The pupils were asked to see and feel their bodies becoming the colours of the rainbow. Very relaxing!
Today P3/4/5 were visited by Mrs. Fresson. She is an electrical engineer with a company called Optos who build machines to examine our eyes. We recently made eye balls in class as part of our Burke and Hare topic. Her visit allowed us to study the eye in more detail and find out exactly what Mrs. Fresson does. We’re all hoping to see a photo of Murray’s eye soon!
