Busy, Busy, Busy in P6/7!
P6/7 have been busy!
We have been rehearsing for our performance of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In maths, we have been interpreting data from bar, line and pie charts.
We have been focussing on discussion writing and thinking of arguments for and against as well as our own opinion.
We planted our potatoes this week and will be watching them grow and adding more compost as soon as we see the green leaves appear. We are hoping to grow lots.
P6 took part in the Inveralmond cluster cross country and one of our girls won 1st place. We are so proud of her. Our girls team also came top in the competition, They will go on to represent us in the next stage of the competition in September. Fantastic!
Gardening in the sun
P5 have enjoyed working on our class allotment in the sun. We prepped the soil and planted some onions and spring onions. We can’t wait to see them start to sprout! Many of us are very excited for the Gardening Club to start up.
P1 Have Their Say!
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!
Go Go Go P6/7
P6/7 have been working hard to learn our songs, actions and positions for our Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat show. We have been busy creating props, organising costumes and filming. It is a lot of work!
We have tidied the front garden and have been chitting potatoes which are now ready to plant.
Some of our P7 class members were at a sports festival which was excellent, and they had great fun.
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.
Green Fingers in P1A
Everyone in P1A has made a super start to our final term in Primary 1!
We have been outside quite a bit this week, making the most of this lovely weather. We have been getting to grips with some new gardening tools which will be very handy when we start planting in our allotment.
Super Science
Primary 6 have enjoyed learning about solids, liquids and gases in Science recently. We have been investigating the different ways we can change the states of materials.
We have also created our own water filter systems to filter the dirt from the water.
Excellent Experiments in P6/7
P6/7 have been carrying out science experiments this week, looking at changing state of materials.
We did some dissolving experiments and had to predict which materials would dissolve and which wouldn’t.
We learned that some substances dissolve when you mix them with water. When a substance dissolves, it looks like it disappears, but in fact, it has just mixed with the water to make a transparent (see-through) liquid called a solution.
When you mix sugar with water, the sugar dissolves to make a transparent solution. Salt dissolves in water too. We learned that sand doesn’t dissolve.
We also discussed how ice can change to water and steam and how some materials can change back to their original state.
We also looked at the structure of the Earth. We made models to show the crust, the mantle, outer core and the inner core. We also learned that we can use an apple or a boiled egg to represent these.
