Primary 6

Primary 6 have been learning all about bodies, bones and blood. We measured different bones in our bodies, recorded the measurements and we are going to make a line graph using the data. We made a model of the heart using plastic bottles, straws, balloons, tape, food colouring and water. It showed us how the heart pumps blood.

In reading this week we all started new books in our groups. Two groups are reading Roald Dahl and the other Michael Morpurgo.

In PE, we have been creating our own fitness routine to perform and teach Primary 4. We worked well in our teams.

Panto Fun

Here are a few photos of this year’s panto, Peter Pan. A great time was had by all, including some staff who were included in the show – not always willingly.

Sleigh bells ring…

We want to show off some of the super sleighs our children have designed and built for Santa this December! He will have a difficult job choosing between gold, glitter, rocket speed, reindeer power, and even time travel machines.

Planting a winter woodland

On Friday 14th December Primary 2 and 3 were well wrapped up in the cold and frost to work with our friends from the Oatridge campus of Scotland’s Rural College. They planted tree seedlings from the Woodland trust around the perimeter fence at the SUDS pond area of the school grounds. These little plants will grow in to rose, hawthorn, dogwood and holly hedges and encourage lots of different wildlife into the nature area at the pond. One special seedling was not planted – a Royal Oak, grown from seed collected from one of the royal household estates. This will be given a special position closer to the school, as part of the Jubilee Wood project.

Primary 2

We have been learning about the senses this term. What can you see, hear, touch, taste or smell near Christmas time that is different from other times of the year?

For our carol service next Friday we have also been learning the Christmas Alphabet song. Try it at home with the actions to make sure it looks and sounds super on Friday!

Primary 4 – 1960’s Toys

Primary 4 have been researching some of the popular toys from the 1960’s. We found information, pictures and even old TV adverts on the internet to help us learn about the different toys. We are going to organise all of the information we have found into a Powerpoint and present it to the Primary 3 children who are currently learning about toys.
