Respect, Achieve, Include, Nurture
Primary 1 have been loving their Outdoor Learning lessons this term! We have been carving pumpkins, building stick skeletons, creating patterns with natural objects and making outdoor number lines!
We are excited for more wintery experiences! Please remember your warm clothes on Tuesdays!
P7 were doing a code along with education Scotland today called “lost in space”
Primary 5 have been preparing for Children in Need on Friday 15th November by creating eye-catching posters to display around school. Some of the children have volunteered to present to the other classes about it at next week’s whole school assembly. Remember on Children in Need you can dress up as a super hero (linking with this year’s Gladiators theme) or you can dress down in your own clothes. If you are able, please bring a 50p donation or a contribution to our food pantry. At the moment we are particularly short of tea, coffee, cereal, diluting juice, packs of biscuits, mayonnaise, wipes, baby shampoo and deodorants. Thank you for your support.
Primary 6 had a fantastic trip to Summerlee last week. We really enjoyed the workshop where we got to dress up in Victorian school uniform and follow the strict Victorian school rules! We also got to go down a mine to experience what it would’ve been like to have worked in these conditions. We all agreed that it must have been very difficult especially with it being so dark and cramped. It was also really interesting getting to look inside different cottages to see how the living conditions and decor have changed over time. The outside loo in the 1800’s and the TV in the 1980’s cottage were big talking points!
Week 1 of baking we melted chocolate over biscuits and decorated them. We were researching and creating our own recipes for the next masterclass! ‘Creativity is messy’
Today, P5B created logos for their enterprise groups. We discussed the importance of branding and looked at logos for different companies
Primary 2 have had lots of fun estimating today. We worked with a partner to estimate the number of cubes and then counted to check.
Primary 4 learned to use compasses to make different shaped circles!
Primary 6 had a wonderful day out at Summerlee museum learning about life in the Victorian era and about the job of a miner from the 1840s onwards. They took a trip down a mine to see how dark, damp and cramped working conditions would be for miners and enjoyed looking around the miner’s cottages to learn about life in a variety of eras. They then took part in a fabulous workshop where they dressed up as Victorian school children, looked at some artefacts and practised copperplate writing.
