Olympic Torch Ceremony from Olympia-Paris with P5

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!

Trip to Forth Bridges Education Centre

Primary 4, Primary 3/4 and Primary 3 had a wonderful time at the Forth Bridges Education Centre today. We listened to a quick bridges and engineering presentation then completed an engineering challenge in groups. After lunch we walked across the Forth Road Bridge so the children could experience the scale and structure of the bridges. Well done everyone!

Victorian Inventions in P5/6

P5/6 have been learning about Victorian inventions this week and had a go at being Victorian detectives. We had a look at some objects from Victorian times and tried to guess what they might be used for. We then looked online at photos from a Victorian museum to find out if we were correct.

Building Castles

As part of P2’s interdisciplinary learning we focused on castles and this week we have been looking at the features of a castle.

As part of our technology outcomes we have planned and sketched our castles and selected the materials we would need to construct them.

We are in the early stages of building the castles but here are some pictures to show our progress so far.
