Primary 5 are looking at forces in science.
Our challenge today was to design a parachute showing air resistance and gravity. This involved working in a small group, sharing ideas, testing parachutes and evaluating designs.
Our P6 pupils at Toronto have recently been preparing for one of their important and responsible roles for P7 in August.
P6’s submitted application forms, undertook an interview and completed training sessions to prepare them for being a Buddy to our new P1’s in August. P6 are now well equipped for this responsible role and are looking forward to meeting their buddies very soon!
P5/6 loved their outdoor learning session with Rob from Kids Gone Wild.
We enjoyed being in the woods, climbing trees, building dens, playing hide and seek, zip lines and using our imagination to create our own fun and games.
This week we worked with our P1 buddies, we had great fun playing in the field. We had pots and pans and water and we made potions and grass soup. We played Duck, duck, goose, played with bubbles and had a blether.
In rugby we were learning how to pass the and how to score a try, we had to race against each other.
In Bikeability some of us were learning how to cross the road, do a U-turn and safe start and stop.
When the Bikeability groups were out the rest of P7A learned about the artist Piet Mondrian and we created our own compositions. Piet Mondrian was a famous artist who developed a style of his own, called neoplasticism. His work became minimalistic. He painted using simple lines, right angles and blocks of primary colours. Mondrian wanted to express a harmony and purity in his work.
Primary 5 are learning about the Olympics this term. We have been following the Olympic torch’s journey so far in 2024 starting in Olympia Greece, where the ancient Olympics originated, all the way to Paris for the opening ceremony. We named ourselves after some Greek and French cities, towns and territories, and held our very own Olympic torch ceremony from Olympia-Paris, in our playground!
