In term 1 P5 have participated in a variety of exciting learning experiences. Here are some of our highlights to date!

Farm Enterprise Workshop – We participated in a Food for Thought Enterprise Challenge. We learned how to make origami carrots with the intention of running a business. This included coming up with a farm group name as well as a logo. Roles were assigned within the farms to ensure success. We all got to take the chocolate coins we gained home to enjoy.

Class trip to New Lanark – To enhance the learning of our topic both classes visited New Lanark itself. We enjoyed the Annie McLeod ride, the 1820s school experience as well as a guided tour.

Authors Live (Roald Dahl) – Both classes met to watch and actively participate in an Authors Live event to celebrate 100 years of Roald Dahl. We then held a stage competition to design and name a Scottish sweet.

Bibleworld – Both classes visited our local Academy to attend a Bibleworld workshop. There was a carousel of activities and the children were encouraged to go back in their free time.

Yesterday everyone participated in our Sports Day.  They all had a fantastic time, enjoying the sunshine and the variety of activities.  Here are the P4 race winners (Sprint, Sack and Obstacle Race):

P4 have been learning about the water cycle and the corresponding scientific names.  They can identify and explain the terms Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation and Collection.  They took part in an experiment which demonstrated three parts of the cycle.

P3/4 and P4 were given a group challenge to design and build a bridge that would span a piece of A4 paper (river) and would hold a 100g weight.  They were only allowed to use spaghetti and marshmallows!

They had a lot of messy fun building their bridges.
