Today we helped to raise  money for a charity close to our hearts. May is the month of the year where people raise awareness for Vasculitis. In Primary 6 we created badges and asked all the children in the school to wear something red to show our support `for this special cause.

We hope we have raised lots of money for this amazing charity!

Thank you for supporting us,

Primary 6

This week Primary 1 have been busy investigating ‘measure’.  We used a range of non –standard objects to measure the lengths of items around our classroom e.g measuring with lego pieces, dominoes and pencils.

We are learning about farming and this week we took part in a STEM challenge to design and make a hen coop.  We looked at a range of designs and talked about what hens would need inside their coops and also how to keep them safe from predators.  We firstly designed our homes on paper and then began to make a 3D model.  Watch this space!

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our ‘Farming’ assembly.  We enjoyed talking about our learning so far.

This week in Primary 2 we have been very busy learning lots of new things.

In maths we started looking at measure and tried measuring different objects in our classroom using our hands and feet. We learned that these are non-standard units of measurement, while rulers and metre sticks are standard units of measurement.

We also started our topic on athletes and began by looking at the human body. We got the chance to work together to draw round each others bodies and tried naming some of our body parts including our 5 main organs and some parts of our skeleton.

Finally, we all worked together to compose our own rhythm thinking about how many beats are in a bar and how long we hold each note for. We tried a 4 beat note, a 2 beat note, a 1 beat note and a half beat note and used these to vary our rhythm. Once we had composed our musical score we all got a percussion instrument and tried to play along altogether. It was super fun and I was very impressed with the musical talent in Primary 2.

Have a lovely long weekend and I’ll see you all on Tuesday, Miss McGregor.

This week in Primary 2 and Primary 2/1 we got the opportunity to share our learning on sun safety at assembly. We started off by sharing what we already knew about sun safety.

We then made sun safety posters and created  our artwork for assembly.

Mrs Strachan and Miss McGregor were very proud of everyone’s hard work!

This week we have been learning about extinct species. We have worked in groups to create posters which we will present to the class next week. Here are some interesting facts we have learned from our online research:

• Tasmanian tigers were not actually a big threat to humans
• Dodos ate nuts
• Woolly mammoths’ ears are shorter than the ears of a modern elephant
• Modern science thinks that the tyrannosaurus rex had feathers as well as scales
• The big teeth that a sabre-toothed cat had were really good for hunting!

In other news, some children reached level 10D on their 55 Club multiplication activities- well done everyone! We have also been learning how to add amounts of money involving a decimal point.

This week we also played some football in PE and it was really fun.

Have a good weekend!
