Primary Two have been learning about Space. We have recently completed some home research and the children were excited to bring in their work this morning!
We have been using our large construction toys and junk modelling materials to build space rockets.
Please look at our photographs and see all the fun we have been having.
This term we are learning about Weather in Primary 3. So far we have been finding out about climate zones of the world and weather forecasting We will be working in groups to create and present a weather forecast. We are looking forward to a trip to Dynamic Earth in the coming weeks. Letters will be sent out soon.
Primary 4 will select completed comic strips to upload next week. Watch this space…
Primary 6 have received a letter from William Wallace. He’s worried Edward I is about to invade Scotland and is looking for our help. We’ve been working in our ‘clans’ to research life in the Middle Ages, to prepare to join William Wallace in the event of an invasion!
Primary 7 recently created French books which they shared with their Primary One ‘wee buddies’.
The younger children responded very well and some of them were able to remember the new words they encountered.
One clever cookie in Primary One managed to write out all of the colour words in French. Magnifique!
We explored different materials as part of our Science this week. We then predicted what would happen if we put them in water. Would they float or sink?

Primary One have been doing a short Frozen topic. We learnt about the characters and settings in a story then created our own settings for Olaf. We learnt how snow and ice are made and what would happen if Olaf went sunbathing.We made our own icemen and conducted an experiment to see which part of the class room was the hottest. We finished our topic with a Frozen party where we had ice cream and cakes.
January 25th – 31st is National Breakfast Week and Blackridge Primary School are learning about the importance of eating a healthy breakfast. There will be a tasting session on Thursday 29th and on this day all pupils will be encouraged to sample a variety of breakfast foods such as croissants, continental meats and cheeses, porridge and fruit.
All pupils from P4 – P7 are entering a competition to create a breakfast recipe book and all pupils throughout the school are thinking about what makes a healthy breakfast.
P7 have created leaflets for parents/carers about what makes a healthy breakfast and the benefits of eating one, which will be sent out this week.
