Primary 1 have had the opportunity to take advantage of the area which they have had a hand in designing. We asked the pupils what they would like to play with and have, where ever possible, tried to accommodate their ideas (the swimming pool, bouncy castle and flat screen tv were a little beyond us though!).

P7 Prepare for Joseph
In P7 this week we designed a poster that will be used to promote our upcoming performances of Joseph and the Technicoloured Dream Coat. We considered what information was required, how we would ensure we had an eye-catching layout and included photographs that grabbed the reader’s attention. If you’re lucky enough to be attending, see how many of the posters you can spot around school!
Shape Play in P4/5
In P4/5 we have been working on shape. Through play with 3D shape we have been creating buildings and other structures and describing them using mathematical language, such as vertices, edges and faces. We also created 3D shapes from their nets and went on a 3D shape hunt around our block and our classroom.
Excellent Experiments in P6/7
Super Science in P2/3
As part of Science week and our IDL topic the children have been exploring how to make and test predictions about solids dissolving in water.
Experiment one involved the children to predict, investigate and record how solubility is affected by heat and stirring. The children had to predict which method would dissolve the sugar the quickest and why. We looked at this through using cold water, warm water, warm water stirred or cold water stirred. The children all worked in groups and discovered that the warm stirred water was the quickest because when water is heated and stirred, the molecules gain energy and thus, move faster.
To follow this experiment we also did the Skittle Experiment and the children loved learning that warm water dissolves the food colouring on the sweets and makes beautiful rainbow patterns. The children all had good fun and enjoyed being Scientists.
P5 Visit Sky Academy
Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.
Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.
It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!

Imaginative Play in P1A
P1A had a delivery of some creative crates to extend our outdoor play opportunities. Our first problem was how to transport the boxes outside. This was easily solved as the children worked together to carry them outside. The crates and the boxes resulted in lots of imaginative play and fun outside!
P7 Literacy and Developing Their Reading Culture
P7 loved reading the book ‘Billionaire Boy’. We wrote book reports which included paragraphs, opinions, conjunctions, and interesting adjectives.
We also put QR codes on our display, which links anyone who scans it to a video of some of the P7’s discussing their opinions about the book.
P1A Explorers
One of P1A’s learning highlights has been investigating some of the new equipment that has arrived in school!
We used guttering, pipes, our new guttering stands, water and cars to set up an area for the children to experiment with the resources.
The children said they had so much fun seeing how super fast the cars went down the guttering and pipes. They also said that they enjoyed putting the water down the pipes.
