Sharing Our Learning
Congratulations to our Head Teacher Award winners this month. We loved hearing about your hard word, kindness and perseverance.
It was also lovely to hear about the literacy achievements of our Golden Coin winners.
Finally we loved celebrating the wider achievements of our learners, from kickboxing and martial arts to reading achievements, we are so proud of you!
In our Interest stations this term, the pupils have chosen between crochet, art, clay and cake decorating. This week, the pupils were working hard to create and to use their new skills. Our art group was experimenting with paint this week, building on from their sketching the week before.
Our cake decorating group were following a nature theme this week and made some amazing looking cakes 🧁
Our clay group created statues out of clay, using their skills to add detail to their statues this week.
Our crochet group practised their crocheting skills and have started to make progress on how to crochet 🧶
Some great collaboration and communication going on within the groups this week!
Alongside the various activities that have taken place in the classrooms this week as part of Maths Week Scotland, we have launched a new challenge – the Maths Problem of the Week. You will be able to see this in the window outside the P7/6 classroom near the office – look out for it the next time you are in the playground. Each week, the Maths mini champs will post new problems for you to solve. You can solve any of the problems or have a go at all 3! Once you work out the answer, ask your teacher for a post it note and pop it into the pink box which is inside, under the window. The Maths mini champs will be keeping an eye on who answers the questions and awarding house points each week! Happy problem solving!
It has been another busy and exciting week in Primary 2/1! 🌟
This week, we have been learning all about healthy eating and how making healthy choices helps to keep our bodies strong and healthy. We then put our learning into practice by making our very own fruit kebabs, developing our skills in cutting carefully and safely. 🍎🍌🍊
Later in the week, we became scientists and took part in a fun bubble experiment using water and fairy liquid! 🫧 We investigated who could blow the biggest bubble, whose bubble would last the longest and even explored how we could put our hand inside a bubble without it popping. The children loved making predictions, testing their ideas and discussing what they discovered.
To finish off our busy week, we began our recycling project. ♻️ We are reusing plastic bottles to create our very windmills and wind catchers learning how we can turn something that might normally be thrown away into something creative and useful.
What a fantastic week of learning, investigating and creating!
This week was P6/5/4’s turn to have ICA Academy in our PE lesson. We were focusing on improving our football skills through different games and activities while practising our dribbling, passing and shooting skills.
