Our IDL theme this term has been the Romans. We have been learning lots of new information about these people in the past and how we know about their lives from examining evidence. We were very excited when we got to handle real life Roman finds which were discovered during a dig in Falkirk, at Mrs Donald’s mum’s house. We had already discovered the Romans had been in that area, through our investigation of the Antonine Wall, and this evidence confirmed what we knew. We loved being archaeologists and trying to piece the finds and evidence together.
In art we have been learning about the use of colour. We have been looking at primary colours, and investigating by mixing to make secondary and tertiary colours. We have loved a bit of messy work and experimenting with colours to develop new colours and shades. We have then used this in our art activities and creating beautiful pieces of art.
One of our Primary 7 pupils has been working really hard to provide some important information on how to stay safe online and proudly shared her leaflet detailing some great advice. Our Digital Leaders would like to use this fabulous piece of work to display in all classes and share with our families at home. Well done!
This week in P4 we have been focusing on our throwing, catching skills, while working on our dodging and spacial awareness. These skills are coming in useful as we take part in the competitive team game of Benchball.
Also this week we have been learning some new Ceilidh dances in preparation for our Christmas party. We found the turns in the Gay Gordons tricky, and the Military Two Step was too fast to begin with, but after some practice, we are very proud to say we have cracked it! We are looking forward to learning more dances next week!
Primary 4 are continuing to work hard out of school on their home learning tasks this month.
Wyatt worked hard to create a Fort using recyclable materials. He worked to ensure he included even the little details of the weapons and animals inside.
Mrs Black had a lovely surprise on her desk this week left by a very kind pupil. As well as being a thoughtful gesture, it helped to remember the importance of the poppy and all that it stands for.
In P4 we have been learning about food and where it comes from. All food comes from either a plant or an animal. We had fun tasting some foods to decide where they came from and using a Hedonic scale to rate them.
There were some tricky foods, which we couldn’t decide on. We had to work our way back from pasta and bread to dough and flour, to wheat, to confirm that these foods came from plants. Chocolate was one food that almost caught us out – it comes from a plant and an animal – cocoa bean from a plant and the milk from a cow (animal)! Sneaky!
On Friday at assembly we shared the very important message of remembering and the important symbol of the poppy. P3/4 helped to share this message with all their work they have been doing in class, from the beautiful poppy wreath, powerpoints of key facts and a touching poem they learned. Thank you for helping us remember!
Primary 3/4 have been investigating flight and their knowledge of things that fly. Last week P3/4 pupils spent time playing and exploring with a variety of construction materials and how they could use these materials to make something that flies.
The pupils chose the construction material to use and made their own decisions about the type of flight item they would build. We had a wide variety of flying objects, from an aeroplane to pterodactyl! The children had great, imaginative designs and persevered even when they found things difficult.
