Homework task.. Find out about a famous train! Use the email address in your homework diary to post what you find on the blog. Good luck!
We have been learning about a famous Scottish inventor called Kirkpatrick MacMillan who invented the first pedals for bicycles. We learned lots of interesting facts about him and also learned about the ways that we remember him today. We used line to draw pictures of Kirkpatrick MacMillan Bridge and also of Courthill Smithy where he worked as a blacksmith. The pedals that Kirkpatrick MacMillan invented did not work in the same way as the pedals we have today. Can you find out how the pedals worked?
Primary 3 had a fantastic trip to New Lanark last week.
Miai T said “I liked dressing up in the old school clothes”.
Edward said ” I loved the Annie McLeod ride.”
Jessica said ” I enjoyed seeing how the Mill workers used to live.”
Ewen L said:Â ” It was fun seeing the River Clyde.”
As part of our Scottish topic P3 have been learning all about Robert Owen this week and researching all the good things he did for the Mill workers of New Lanark. We created a timeline of how our day compared to the pauper apprentices in the Mill and did line drawings of the Mill houses. We are going on a trip on Monday to visit the New Lanark Heritage Centre and are very excited about this!
This week, Primary 1 have been creating pictures of the Forth Rail Bridge. We used strips of red card to make the shape of the bridge. We thought it was going to be tricky but were so surprised at how easy it was!
We also learned that..
We are looking forward to learning about more Scottish things next week!
Primary 1 🙂
Three of our classes have been learning about the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah which takes place around the world this week. Primary 6 used the internet to find out about the story behind the celebration, with armies in battle and a very special bottle of oil. They watched video clips of Hannukah celebrations and learned how to play the Driedel game. A team from P6 then visited Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 to play the game with them and share their learning. This game was first played to help the Jewish children learn their letters and sounds in secret. When we played it this week we learned new letters, practised our counting skills and showed what good sports we are when our friends won our tokens!
We would like to thank everyone who came to see our Jacobite assembly. We really enjoyed this topic and we learnt alot about  Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites. We would like to share a few photos with you.
This week we have been very busy rehearsing for our Jacobite assembly which will take place on Thursday 21st of November at 1 pm. We are all hoping you will be able to come so we can share with you what we have learnt about the Jacobites.
We are also very excited because we have been picked to take part in Radio Forth’s Carols at Christmas! Radio Forth will be coming to the school to record the whole school singing a Christmas carol which will be broadcast on Radio Forth on the run up to Christmas.
