Sharing Our Learning
This week we took part in two live STEM lessons from BEAR Scotland. The first of these was on bridges with Elaine Barry, an engineer who worked on the design of the Queensferry crossing. We learned about different types of bridges as well as what makes a bridge strong. We used these principles to design our own bridges and then to build a geodesic dome made from triangles.
P7/6 had the opportunity this week to take part in a football coaching session with Daniel from ICA Academy. He was very impressed with our skills and helped us to improve them by working on different drills and games.
This week in P4/3 we began outdoor art.
We looked into different artists who use outdoor materials to make their art.
We went out in the pouring rain to find our own materials.
We used things such as flowers, twigs, leaves, bark and more. We ended up dirty and wet but had a blast!
Some of us made art from the forest and some of us made smiley faces from our materials 😀
We have been working so hard this week and been having lots of fun!
These Effective Contributors have taken on a leadership role helping the whole school to enjoy learning languages!
Today the Language Leaders visited classes to hand out their first set of ‘French Focus Phrases.’ The girls chose a set of greetings that can be used every day during check-in conversations. They will return next month to check that classes have been using the phrases regularly, and will award a trophy to the most improved class. Tres Bien!
This term P6/5/4 are practising our team building skills by playing different games and challenges. We have been using our collaboration, communication and critical thinking skills to solve problems and work in teams.
