Well it was also “the season to be jolly…” in Primary 3….a great Party was had by all.
The party started with a little bit of dancing and modelling our Christmas outfits. Everyone looked fabulously christmassy…and our programme was as outlined below!
Laughter, music, munching and crunching….Thank you P3 for the best party ever!

P7 group 1’s have had a fantastic time attending the high school CDT department with Dr Cherry. The children were able to use sawing equipment, vices and sanding equipment to make a wooden spatula. They used olive oil to treat the wood before use. It was a great opportunity to explore the school and get a feel for the various departments and learn more about the knowledge and skills they will experience. The children listened well, followed instructions, worked hard to reach their full potential and paid attention to safety rules. They were a credit to themselves and the school. Well done P7, I was very proud of you.
“Tis the season to be jolly…” and Primary 5 were certainly feeling jolly on Monday when they celebrated at the P5 Christmas Party.
We kicked off the party with a game of Corners followed by a very impressive game of Musical Statues that Miss Sherlow, Mr Renshaw and Miss Burton found extremely difficult to judge because everyone was so good! Next, we played an energetic game of Musical Arms, then Pass the Parcel. After that, we stopped for a bite to eat in to replenish our energy, then got back to party mode with another game of Musical Arms. We finished our party by showing off our dance moves in the Primary 5 Dance Off. Everyone had a fantastic afternoon 
Merry Christmas Primary 5!
LI: We are learning about push and pull forces.
SC: I can predict what will happen to an object when a push or pull force is applied.
SC: I can apply a push or pull force to an object.
SC: I can analyse whether an object has changed shape or speed when a push or pull force is applied.
SC: I can record my analysis.
This afternoon Primary 1b continued our Toys topic by carrying out an experiment to explore the effect of forces on some of our classroom toys. We began our experiment by predicting the effect of a push force and a pull force on three different types of toy, explaining and recording our predictions. Then we worked with a partner to apply a push and a pull force to the toys, then analyse and record the results.
“It’s starting to move. That means its changing speed.” Isla MacKinnon
“The ball rolls when you push it, so its changing speed.” Isla Meldrum
“If you push this ball at both sides it gets squished too. That’s because it’s soft. It’s fabric.” Daniel
“Most of the toys changed speed.” Lucas
“If you push the ball from the side, it goes the other way.” Amorie
“If you make the play dough into a ball, then you can make it roll.” Rory
