Today the class went outside for a Science experiment linked to the topic of Air Resistance.  We were testing to see what the effect of running with an umbrella open and shut would have on our speed over a set distance.  Our results showed that the air resistance slowed us down by approximately a second as we ran.  It was great fun.

We have been busy in nursery.

The children celebrated Robert Burns’ birthday in January by tasting some Scottish food and listening to the bagpipes played by Mrs Baird. They also created tartan pictures using wheeled toys.

The children have also been learning about polar animals and how ice is made. Some children found ice outside and others enjoyed investigating ice in the water tray.

In P5/6, we have been learning all about the Monkey King. Today we learned how he got his staff. Today is the Chinese New Year, hooray!

At long last, after a brief holiday, we have returned to our normal room, and it’s a bit drier.

We have been learning A LOT about languages over the last two weeks. Not only, have we done loads of French, but this week, we even learned a bit of Spanish.

This is going to help up win in a competition with Primary 4/5.

Also, since our topic is World War 2, we’ve been researching the main countries, that fought in the war.

Here are some of our posters:

France

United Kingdom

Germany

Italy

Japan

United States

Today the Primary 6/7 class took part in a Singing Workshop which was run by a member of the Howden Park Centre.  The children enjoyed developing their skills and techniques relevant to singing and performing.
