Theatres in Schools

Primary 3 – 7 had a brilliant morning watching a performance of Jason and the Argonauts with Theatres in Schools.

Safiyyah – I liked when both of them were ‘fighting’ in slow motion.

Harry – I liked it when they opened the boat up. It was exciting!

Sairah – I liked the part when he met the princess, especially when he slapped his hand away when he went to hold it and said ‘not on the first date!!’.

Xavier – I liked when he always talked about Spiderman.

Zoe – I learned that you can push yourself a little bit further.

Mia – I learned that you need to include people.

Poppy – I learned that everything in life isn’t easy to do.

Zahra – I liked the part when he was persevering in going forward rather than going home.

Deeksha – I liked it when he got the gold cape and the crown.

Willow – I liked that the characters never gave up.

Elsa – I liked the part when they were getting the golden cape and there was a dragon.

Primary 7 have been learning how to calculate duration and distances per second using lots of different activities and resources. They can now confidently time an activity using a stop clock or iPad timer and use these results to calculate more answers to problems.

Woodland Animal Adventure

On Thursday afternoon, Primary One got together for a make and create afternoon.  We started with learning about some woodland animals and their habitats.  We then went to the GP room which was magically set-up with all sorts of pictures and making materials for the children.  Pupils were encouraged to work together to make animals for our woodland topic wall.

Pupils used pastels, cotton wool, crepe paper, tissue paper and cut up packaging for the hedgehogs’ prickles!  It was such a great afternoon.  Everyone co-operated and worked well together.

Here is some evidence of the afternoon.  Have a lovely weekend.

Primary 5’s Cluster Harvest Service

Straight after lunch we walked along to the Lanthorn Centre so that we could take part in the Cluster Harvest assembly. We presented our Harvest story and led all of the Primary 5 classes in singing ‘Harvest Samba’. We then got to watch the other Primary 5 classes as they told us more about different foods and where they originally come from.

Comments Off on P3’s Last Day of Term

P3’s Last Day of Term

Today in P3, we worked really hard on making our Personal Learning Logs really high-quality. We used Think, Pair, Share to come up with our ideas.  This means we spent some Thinking Time considering our learning and deciding what we wanted to talk about.  We then got into partners and talked about our learning, sharing our ideas and building on each other’s thoughts, which gave rise to some excellent discussions. Afterwards, we used the No Hands Up method to share our ideas with the class – Mrs Weatherston Sharma used the pot of lollipop sticks to pull out one name at a time so that everyone had an equal opportunity to contribute.  Mrs Weatherston Sharma collated the information on the board – here are the highlights.

  • In Maths, we were learning about Time and Money – Reese
  • We were learning about durations – Aaron
  • We were learning about hours before and after – Tara
  • And how many hours it takes to get there – Calum
  • We practised finding ways to make amounts using a certain amount of coins. If it was small coins, you need to use lots of them – Lee
  • In Church, we read poems and sang songs – Maha
  • We practised speaking in front of others – you need to be loud – Zoe
  • It was for Harvest – Jack R
  • Last week, Sean Batty came for the cake competition with the winner of Junior Bakeoff and Isla’s cake won for P3– Anna
  • We were learning reading – Cayden
  • We did exercises in PE – CL

We have had a really busy and productive term and we are looking forward to our October Break! Have a wonderful holiday, everyone.
