Science – International Space Station

Hello everyone!

One of the tasks you all had on your science grids was to go outside when it was dark and see if you could spot any stars or planets. If you time it well then you can also see the International Space Station flying over your head. I was lucky enough to spot it on Saturday night at around 8:30pm. I managed to take a video to share with you all. See if you can spot it! There are still opportunities for you to spot it yourself too, check the website at spotthestation.nasa.gov to see times of when it will be passing over where you live.

Happy star gazing!

Primary 1 – S.S.P.C.A. Visit

When the S.S.P.C.A. visited our school this week they brought a special visitor to Primary 1, a very ‘Happy Hamster’!  It wasn’t a real hamster but we did learn lots.

We were learning about being responsible.  We found out about all the things hamsters need and how we should look after them.  We talked about how we needed to be quiet and gentle and have a good routine to look after pets.

Primary 1 – Measure

Primary 1 have been carrying out lots of measuring in and around class.

We measured with giant sized hands and feet.  After our investigations we compared sizes and we realised that these gave us different answers.  We know now why we use centimetres and metres to measure.

 

We then measured how tall we are!

 

Book Week Voting in Primary 1

All Primary 1 children will today have received their Book Bug pack with 3 fantastic stories in it.

In class we read the 3 books : The Station Mouse,  Unicorn Expert,  and The Prince and the Witch and the Thief and the Bears. We then voted on our favourite one and displayed our results in a graph.

The winner was …………………………………………………. The Station Mouse! See if you agree at home!

 

Book Week In Primary 1.

The Primary 1 children have been having lots of fun during book week. We have been listening to lots of stories and doing some linked activities.

We decorated our classroom doors to look like the covers of some of our favourite books!

 

We also enjoyed a visit from one of the authors of Badger the Mystical Mutt books, Laura Jackson.  She even brought along Badger!

We had some lovely stories read to us by Ann from East Calder Library. She read us a story about worries, which helped us to know what to do if we are worried about something. Then she ended with an old favourite, Elmer the Elephant.

The excitement at East Calder just kept on coming, with a visit from the Book Bug!!! He came along to see us all in preparation for our grown ups coming in to school today to be given our Book Bug packs.
