Primary 3 have been writing descriptions of what their own personal Egyptian god would look  like and do. Here is an example of what they have been  writing.
My god is called Tolkanic. He has four red and blue crowns, small pointy ears, 39 teeth and pure black eyes. He has a white skirt around his waist. His head is in the shape of a husky. Tolkanic can control the moon and fight of naughty thieves trying to steal children during the night.

This week we have been learning about food and where it comes from.   We used a website called Food a Fact of Life it told us lots of facts and we watched a video and played a game called Plant or Animal. We had a visit from Scottish Power and we learned the dangers of electricity and the reasons not to play with or near electricity.

This week P1m started making their Fairyland houses. We are turning our whole class into Fairyland. We made stuff to put on the wall. One group will be making a Fairyland shop, where you can buy lunch and see Rapunzel working. One group made a witch’s house, where she can make potions to try and kidnap Rapunzel. One group made the stick house from the Three Little Pigs and another group made the straw house. Both were very messy! One group made the Gingerbread house, where the Gingerbread Man lives. And the final group made the Three Bears’ house, where Goldilocks is hiding!
Come and peek in at our Fairyland display 🙂
This week we were rewriting nursery rhymes for Primary One  and here are some examples-

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck two,
The mouse went boo!

 We have made up a new class target and it is “Think before we do anything.” and we hope we follow it 🙂 !
On Wednesday James from Scottish Power came to our school to talk to each class about electricity. He told us all about electric cables and how we can stay safe with switches, plugs and power boxes.
Here are some facts we remembered:
We got to hold 2 different big electricity cables. James had a black crow with a yellow nose called Sparky to help teach the little classes about being safe.                                                                                             Â

Primary 4 to help us learn more about where food comes from we are going to use the website Food a Fact of Life. Firstly Google search Food a Fact of Life.  Once you are on the home page click 8-11 years along the top of the page. Next click Food and Farming then scroll down until you see the heading Interactive Resources.  Click on the game that is called – Where does your food come from?Play the game and then we will share it together at the end of this week.
This week we were looking at every child’s right to play. We played two games, ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’ and Chocolate Bar. On Friday at break time we went to the other classes and showed them how to play these games. It was lots of fun and we are going to learn more games and teach other classes how to play them.
Primary 6…
You all have the next 3 weeks to create a model of the Titanic. You can choose to use any materials but it must be 3D.Â
Good Luck on your mission, I know you can do it!

This week we have been learning about Children’s Rights and that every child in the world has the right to an education.  We watched a clip of children in Africa and discussed how different their school was to our school. We made posters to show some of  the values of education. Then we shared what we had learned with the whole school at our Rights Respecting assembly.Â
