P6 were making posters and they were writing in English what they want to know in French that they can use in the class everyday such as can I go to the toilet, what time is it, get ready for lunch, wash your hands and more. We went into groups of about 6 and helped each other. By Lucy, Alica and Iona.

CREATIVITY IN THE SNOW ANYONE?
Have a go at making an igloo? With help from adults you can make snow bricks and a great den. How will you decorate the interior?
The Scandinavians have long dark winters but try to create warmth with candles, blankets etc What is Danish hygge?
Check out images of Harbin in China and their amazing snow and ice sculpture event for 3-D ideas.
Go to new places to enjoy the snow and the views. Take some pictures of wintry trees and then use these as an art inspiration. Victoria Crowe is an artist who has done just that. Google her.
What can you make with icicles? What can you make with powdery snow or another kind of snow.
Il neige. It is snowing in French. How many other languages can you say that in? The winner wins an ice-cream. Try making a fun-flavoured ice-cream outside!
If you can get on skis and sledges and swish through The White Stuff!

I can use Purple Mash to create a picture of a farm.
I can animate a farm scene using Scratch JR
Today, P1P recalled their learning from last week’s technologies lesson during our IDL ‘On the Farm’. We used what we had learned from tinkering with Scratch JR to recreate and animate a farm scene. We were able to change the movement, size and speed of characters. Some of us even managed to record our own voices and add them to our characters.
We then explored Purple Mash for the first time to recreate a farm using clip art and animations. P1P were able to explore the app and come up with their own ideas.
P6 were researching about France. When we were researching we were looking for facts that we didn’t really know. One of the facts were that you are not allowed to take snails on a train without there own tickets. Some of

Primary 5A and Primary 5C have been busy working on new ways to learn their spelling words. The children have enjoyed using their new spelling grids for homework which gives them a lot more choice and allows them to learn their spelling lists in different ways. In class, the children have continued to use a variety of games and activities to support their spelling, such as ‘Dictionary Race’, ‘Hangman’, ‘Spelling Tennis’, ‘Kim’s Game’ and ‘Words Within Words’. Children can work within their own spelling group or choose to challenge themselves by working with a different group to try more difficult words.
‘Spelling games are fun and great for learning’ – MILLIE
‘I think spelling games are good for learning and they help you remember how to spell your words’ – TEAGAN
We were learning about floating and sinking in P5A. First we investigated whAT THINGS FLOATED AND WHAT THINGS SUNK. We learnt about buoyancy, upthrust and gravity and how the density of the material affected the buoyancy. Afterwards we designed boats thinking about their size and shape. We ran a fair test as we each used the same size of tinfoil. We predicted how many pennies our boats would hold . Then we tested the boat design and recorded how many pennies it held before sinking.
I found out that sometimes it is the shape and size of the boat that effects the buoyancy. Our small boat held 21 pennies but we had predicted that it would hold 10 (Ruari). It was so much fun making and testing our boats (Kai).
