Explorers! March 15, 2010
Posted by Janette Gaunt in : Nursery , comments closedAfter the pre-school children had been given their Explorer Backpacks, we decided we would have an “Exploring” theme in the nursery. Our home corner became a forest area. There was a tent with torches and ‘camp fire’ , and we had picnics. We made binoculars and telescopes for our play.
We had an “Explorer Challenge” of our own and had to find 20 different things around the nursery. Some things were easy to find, but some were really tricky!
We went up to the woods with bags and collected lots of leaves and twigs. We spotted some snowdrops growing.

Posted by A Dove in : Primary 3 , add a commentP3 have been learning about vehicles that travel through the air. They have looked at aeroplanes, helicopters, rockets, space shuttles and hovercraft. We made our own flying machines - some were designed to fly long distances and some were designed for falling slowly. We tested all the vehicles. We used a stopwatch to measure the falling times and metre sticks to measure the distances.
The winners for the falling competition were:
Callum and Sean - 5.6 seconds; Declan, Alfie, Evan and Stephen - 4.7 seconds; Rebecca, Nicole and Amie - 4.5 seconds.
The winners for the distance competition were:
Callum and Sean - 6m 50cm; Reece - 6m 48cm; Maeve, Ceri-Ann, Beth, Sam, William, Aidan G, Liam, Paul, Evan and Declan - all 6m.
Well done!

On Friday our class did an assembly. The assembly was about Scotland. There were lots of songs and acts. Songs like Caledonia, Flower of Scotland and The Skyscraper Wean. We had learned the dates for when famous Scots were born and died. I helped the teacher make the timeline. I think the one we did first was for Robert Burns. At the start of the topic we did maps of Scotland. While some of the class were swimming the rest of us made famous people out of dough. Dillon’s gran videoed the assembly and we might get a copy. What a great topic!

Toast! March 2, 2010
Posted by C Capaldi in : P2C, Uncategorized , 1 comment so farP2C had a Toast Making Afternoon on Monday. We toasted white or brown bread and chose from a selection of spreads - butter, jam, cheese spread, maramalade, honey and chocolate spread. Can you guess what the most popular choice was? We made a graph of the most popular topping and wrote instructions about how to make toast. It was a great afternoon!
