P1m Fairyland

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 🙂

The mouse ran down!

The mouse went boo!

We know how to keep safe with electricity!

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:

  • Plugs have 230 volts in them.
  • We should switch off switches to help us keep safe.
  • Trains take 1 mile to stop.
  • There were 3 cables the orange one was for the garden, the black one is for your TV and the white one is for the kitchen.
  • Insulators are materials like rubber that electricity can’t travel through.
  • It can travel through conductors.
  • Power boxes are extremely dangerous and we shouldn’t go near them.

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.

Primary 5 – Playground Games

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 4

 

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.

Primary 6

This week in Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS we have been learning about children’s rights. Miss Martin has set the whole school on a job to make name collages because it shows everyone that they have the right to a name. Also we have been making little paper girls and boys. Then Miss Martin is going to display them all over the school.

Yesterday we had an assembly about children’s rights and all the classes had to do a show and tell.  Primary 6 decided to talk about wants and needs these are some of them. The needs are clean water, nutritious food, decent shelter and medical care. The wants were laptop, pet, phone, holiday, games and computer stations.
