Renewable Energy

For this term, we are looking at Renewable Energies in class. We are researching using ICT to collect facts. It would be great if as part of your child’s learning, if they could make something for this topic. A few ideas could be a  wind turbine, solar panels on the roof of a house or maybe even a water turbine. These will all be displayed at Parents Evening next Thursday. Sorry for the short notice but the kids are really excited to share their efforts with you all.  Thank you, Jacqui Colville

Snow Days

Hi to everyone who has made it back to school today.  The children have had a ball sharing their snowy escapades with the class.  Congratulations to those families who managed to make IGLOOS!!  I’m so impressed. if you have any photos, it would be great to see them.  Lets hope we’ve seen the last of The Beast from the East!  Jacqui Colville.

P4 – Monday Fun Day!

Good morning P4. I have been learning lots about SWAY over my snow days so I thought I would create one for you today. Use the arrows in the bottom right corner to navigate through it. Hopefully this will inspire you to create a SWAY yourself. Have a Marvellous Monday, I cannot wait to see you all! 🙂

UPDATE!

Toronto will now open on Monday so we may have a look at these different activities in class!

Primary 6 Nursery Buddies

Primary 6 are delighted to have been given the special jobs of being Buddies to the Nursery children. They have been writing books that they will be reading to the children when we get back. I was wondering if anyone is looking for something to do they could help us by writing a little book about a snowy adventure, or fun in the snow? The more colourful the better!

P3/2 and P2

Hope you are all having fun in the snow!!

Maybe you could use your measuring skills and see how deep the snow is?

 It was a bit deep for Ozzie here!

Have you built a snowman?  Is it taller or shorter than a metre?

Could you estimate how much snow would weigh the same as a kilogram?

I look forward to hearing all about your adventures in the snow next week.

P4 Friday Fun

Good morning P4 – another day of snowy fun!

Miss Munro’s quote of the day 🙂

If we were all in class just now, we would be getting ready for our SPELLING TEST. Why not test yourself at home? Get somebody to read your words to you. You could even write your words into the snow. Will you get 7/7 today?

Continue practicing your times tables using our MULTIPLICATION MASH UP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjCLhoI9Mk) I will be testing you all when we return to school!

The staff at Toronto met over a Skype call yesterday and we were all wondering what this “Beast from the East” looks like… Put your imagination and creativity skills to the test and draw a picture of the beast to share when we return to school.

If you are out in the snow today, challenge yourself to make a sculpture from the snow – Try something other than a snowman. Make sure you take photographs of all your amazing creations!

Above all, keep extra warm, stay safe and have the best time EVER. Have a fun filled weekend and thank you for sending me all of your amazing photos and videos so far – I am loving them!
