Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to term 4 in Primary 5. We are looking forward to a busy, fun filled and creative final term. The highlights of last term included attending the Handball Sports Festival, our trip to Dynamic Earth and our STEM open afternoon. We were also very excited to piece all of our evidence together to find out who took the Green children in our IDL context, Kidnapped. This term we have started to ‘Be Prepared’ for our school show, The Lion King, and we ‘Just Can’t Wait’ to share it with you…

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 4 in Primary 2/3. Welcome back after our Easter Break. Last term we enjoyed the Bike Design Process topic and our visits from parents and the bikeability session outside. All pupils are engaged with the JLTeams and litter-picking was an April event. The P3s enjoyed their multisport afternoon on the 26^th. Our new topic is Healthy Minds and Healthy Bodies so we look forward to more fitness and learning life skills to make us healthier!

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 4 in Primary 2/1. First of all, a huge thank you for the support you gave last term. It was a very busy time for us, but we enjoyed lots of new experiences in our learning journey. Hopefully the children were enthusiastic about sharing their learning with you at home too. Highlights of last term included our visit to Stirling Castle and the Ball In The Hall with our P7 Buddies. As part of the STEM ‘Building Our Nursery’ topic, we also enjoyed a visit to the Robertson Homes building site. This helped us to understand how buildings are created, and how everyone has an important role to play during the building process.

Now, there is a lot to look forward to in the term ahead. This includes our new IDL context- Pirates and our Assembly. We look forward to seeing you there!

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to the final term this session. Term 3 was very busy with our focus on Superheroes and on keeping ourselves healthy. Highlights from the term include visits by the Fire Brigade and the Ambulance Service. The children also enjoyed taking part in our Burns Celebrations in January. It was fantastic to have so many mums join us for our Mother’s Day tea party. Everyone enjoyed it and the children loved having you in the nursery with them. Thank you for once again supporting us and your children. This term we will be looking forward to our Sports Day, our trip to the Five Sisters Zoo and an event to celebrate the end of another year. We are also excited about the return of Adventure Ted. We hope you and your child have a lovely time with him. We are looking forward to a variety of transition events for our Preschool children this term preparing them to ensure their move to Primary School is smooth.

Kind regards, Mrs Murray, Mrs Diamond, Mrs Aikman and Mrs Findlay

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 4 in Primary 4. We are looking forward to a busy and fun final term. The highlights of last term included having parents in for the STEM afternoon, which included looking at various activities involving our topic Project Planetarium. We enjoyed learning about space through various exciting challenges. This included researching famous astronauts, finding out what living in space is really like, researching planets and the phases of the moon and designing rockets. This term we have started to ‘Be Prepared’ for our school show, The Lion King, and we ‘Just Can’t Wait’ to share it with you…

Primary 4 STEM Context: Project Planetarium

February 22, 2017 Miss Prior Leave a comment

P4 are focusing on Project Planetarium for our STEM topic.
Here are our key questions…
1. How do the sun and moon affect the length of the day, month, year and seasons?
2. What does the solar system look like?
3. What are the features of the different planets?
4. How and why do people become astronauts?
5. How have spacecrafts changed over time and what are their features?

Our context will develop our knowledge and skills in the key curricular areas of:
Science: Safely observing and recording the sun and moon and describe their patterns of movement/changes, observing and researching features of the solar system.
Maths: Collation of data, displaying data and scale.
Technologies: Technological advances over time and using and accessing information.

Ms Richmond, Primary 4 and I are excited to discover more about our solar system!

Primary 5’s IDL Context: Kidnapped

February 21, 2017 Miss Sherlow 1 Comment

For Primary 5’s STEM context for learning, we have been asked to help Police Chief Anderson to solve the mystery of the kidnapping of the Green children.

Our context will develop our knowledge and skills in the key curricular areas of:

Maths- time, symmetry and scale
Science- properties and uses of substances
Technologies- technological advances over time and using and accessing information

The key questions we will be exploring are:

What motive would someone have for taking the Green children?
What evidence can we use to help us to find them?
What methods, evidence and technologies do the police use in 2017 to help them to solve crimes?
How has the way that the police solve crimes changed over last 30 years?
What work does Green Technologies do and why are people so against it?

Primary 5 are excited to get stuck in to the evidence and begin their investigations. Watch this space…
