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!
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!
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.
P2 have been developing their handwriting using finger lights and the smart board. We completed additional practice on the floor before using our jotters.
For Internet Safety day, Primary 5 learned the age restrictions for different social media platforms. Firstly, we named different social media platforms and guessed the age restrictions for each. Then, we revealed the true age restrictions. A lot of us were surprised by these age limits. We discussed why we think social media companies set age restrictions and came up with a lot of good reasons and thoughts.

Safer Internet Day was officially on Tuesday 8th February this week, however we wanted to celebrate this for the whole week.
Across our classes this week pupils were learning more about staying safe online, particularly around this year’s theme, ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’. The Digital Leaders set assignments on TEAMS and SEESAW for everyone to complete.
Digital Leaders shared online safety posters with each class to display in their ICT area. and at assembly they also shared their next exciting digital challenge for our learners – task focusing on staying safe online. This competition is going to be our biggest yet, with a very exciting prize!
Tuesday was a day to celebrate Robert Burns!
In P7, we read Tam O’Shanter. We discussed the language in the poem and it’s meaning.
We recorded each other reciting the poem, created a QR code and displayed them in the hall for everybody in the school to enjoy!
This morning we visited the wooded area of our playground to investigate the biodiversity there. We listed all the living things we found, took lots of photos of them and discussed the conditions that made this a good place for them to live and grow and how theses living things interacted with each other. We also made some tree bark and leaf rubbings.
Did you know to estimate the age of a tree, count the number of rings on the stump, from the centre out?!
We can’t wait to investigate other areas of our playground to see how the biodiversity differs depending on the conditions.
We wonder what we would find if we investigated a river or pond, a beach, a mountain? 🤔
