Productive afternoons in Primary 3/4
Primary 3/4 have been working hard over the past week on their Interdisciplinary topic “The Titanic”. The pupils were set a challenge to “raise the Titanic from her watery grave” by reproducing the unsinkable ship in their classroom. The children worked well together to decide upon how they would like to display the ship in their room. They then split into teams and took a part of the display each to work on. The finished product was completely the work of the children. They worked together to establish their ideas, list the resources they required, shared out the jobs and the work and then put all the elements together. Their Titanic display is quite impressive and definitely meets the criteria set in the challenge, by demonstrating their skills, teamwork and creativity.
After all that hard work, it was time to enjoy the sunshine! We took our PE outdoors and practiced some of our races and skills we will need for taking part in our Sports Day that is coming soon. We loved racing each other and had lots of laughs when balancing the bean bags on our heads!
Sky Academy
Primary 5 attended a Skills Academy at Sky this morning. Following on from our Interdisciplinary Learning theme before Christmas, we have been researching ocean pollution and it’s effect on the the world and it’s inhabitants. We used this knowledge toady to put together a news report of our findings. At the Sky Skills Academy we each had a job role and were responsible for an area of the report. We learned about writing scripts, using the teleprompter, using cameras, camera angles, editing and trimming and presenting and interviewing, ensuring our facts were triple checked.
Our Directors and Producers had a tough job keeping us on the right path and working to a deadline, but we made it. We are really proud of the report we were able to put together through using and developing our skills and working together as a brilliant team!
Ahoy there sailors!
Lowport orienteering around the Peel
We found navigating our way around The Peel tricky at first but now we are true explorers!! Dave and Rona, the instructors, said that they were proud of our teamwork and perseverance!
Getting down with Nature!
Mr Graham, Lewis, Cameron, Harris,Adam and Liam take on the climbing wall!
We think Mr Graham secretly has Spider-Man senses! Well done everyone who faced their fears on the climbing and abseiling walls! Tremendous efforts from all!
Canoeing and Kayaking was excellent!
Some of us even jumped right in afterwards! Freeeeezing but so much fun!!
Night time fun at camp!
Whilst the girls love their fairy lights, the boys have been loving their torches! Our pods are awesome!
