Dinosaur Dioramas

In Primary 1, we have been looking at dioramas and learning how to make them ourselves. We have a project to make one at home and here are some of them already.

There were some really clever ideas, including a knitted dinosaur and a knitted caveman, a plastic egg with a dinosaur inside it, cotton wool clouds, a flying velociraptor and pipe cleaner trees!

Look out for them next week at parents’ night!

How to Make a Dinosaur

In Primary 1S we have been very busy making our own clay dinosaurs. Some of us brought dinosaurs in from home so that we could look at the different features, like horns and wings and tails.

We worked in small groups and had good discussions about how to use the clay.

Here are some of our dinosaurs which we hope you like!

Primary 4K MoneySense

Today the children in Primary 4K were joined by Christine, Richard and Susan from the Royal Bank of Scotland as part of the MoneySense initiative. We had a fabulous time planning a birthday party, working out what we could buy on a budget and presenting our ideas to the rest of the class. We would like to thank our volunteers for their input and support.

FAST Programme-

In association with Save the Children, Uphall Primary is delighted to be hosting the Families and Schools Together Programme (FAST).
We are looking for 20 Primary 2 and Primary 3 families to take part in the programme which is designed for families to come together after school. There will be opportunities for the children to play, parents to chat and for everyone to share a meal. There will be 8 weekly sessions of 2 hours duration on a Friday afternoon with a graduation ceremony at the end of the block. The intended start date for the programme will be Friday 28th April from 12.30-2.30pm.

Volunteers
We are also looking for parents or extended family members and community volunteers to help with the delivery of the programme. Volunteers will undertake 2 days training at Uphall Primary on 28th and 29th March in readiness for the programme beginning at the end of April.
Please contact the school if you would like to participate.
I have added a link below for a short You Tube video which gives more detail.
