This week Primary 1m have been looking at symmetry.
We looked at butterflies and saw they have symmetrical wings. We made our own butterflies using paint. We also went around the school to look at reflections of things. We also used play-dough to make symmetrical faces. We made patterns and used mirrors to reflect them.
Til next week…

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.
This term we have been learning about repeating patterns in maths. This week we were making our own patterns and we will use this learning to help us make our own Christmas wrapping paper next week.
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  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.
This week in P5 we have been researching how earthquakes happen. Carry out some research at home to find out other countries which have had earthquakes recently and compare the damage caused in these countries with the damage caused by the Haiti earthquake.
