P2/3 problem solving to save a whale!

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Donna Pentony

In P2/3 today we were reading the story “The snail and the whale”. In the story the whale becomes stranded on the beach, the children worked in groups and individually to come up with solutions to this problem. The children then presented their solutions to the rest of the class. We had a variety of different methods and the children presented their ideas through diagrams, plans, models and drama. The children worked really hard on their ideas and were creative in finding solutions to the problem. Well done P2/3.

Art Club

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Janice Mastin

A number of children from P3 and P4 are attending an after school art club with Miss Mastin. Parents and local community members have also volunteered their time to come and help us, which is fantastic and greatly appreciated. So far we’ve created creatures out of boiled eggs, and designed some amazing masks. Have a look for yourselves at what we’ve done!

Mrs Armitage on Wheels in P3

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Donna Pentony

P3 had a fabulous morning re-enacting the story of Mrs Armitage on Wheels by Quentin Blake. The children were involved in acting out the drama, using props and adding sound effects to bring the story to life. The finale was fantastic with the bike crashing and everything and everyone collapsing in a heap. Well done P3, thanks for a fun filled morning.

Complicated Communication in P3 and P4

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Donna Pentony

Continuing with our science theme of communication P3 and P4 had a communication challenge today. They had to use their skills of position, movement and language to help their classmates complete puzzles. Well done everyone as this was a tricky task. We were also learning about sound, vibration and pitch. We all made our own reed instruments from straws and had great fun playing them, feeling the vibrations and listening to the different pitches. P4 even managed a marching band in the playground.

P3 Burns Supper

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Janice Mastin

On Tuesday, Primary 3 hosted and participated in an authentic Burns Supper.

There were a lot of things to prepare and organise for the event. The class spent a few weeks learning poems and roles, dances and songs, and learning about Robert Burns and a Burns Supper. As the time drew closer, there were shopping lists to write, tatties to peel and delicious shortbread to make (thanks to Sam’s mum and Malcolm’s mum for volunteering their baking services!).

Primary 1 also came along briefly to perform a song and recite some Scottish poetry for the guests.

It was a fabulous event of which I’m sure Rabbie Burns would have approved. Well done Primary 3!

Primary 3 Create Giants!

Pantomime time!

Posted on January 17, 2011 by Pauline Gilmour

Nursery to Primary 4 thoroughly enjoyed a visit from the Hopscotch Theatre and were treated to a performance of Puss in Boots.

“I liked her long tail and the way she caught the mice”, said Anna about the Puss character.

“It was Mick being the lady!” said Elli about the Dame.

“He was a bit scary….”, said Morven about the ogre.

” I liked the boy’s kilt,” said William. ” I liked the King’s fat belly,” said Ashley.
