RME

Our RME topic in term 1 looked at friends of Jesus, especially Zacchaeus. Brian from Scripturer Union came into our class to help us with the story of Zacchaeus. He had some of us acting out the story with Reece being Zacchaeus. We took part in some fun activities and all got some chocolate coins too!

Mary Russell Visitors

For four weeks during October and November, Primary 3 from Mary Russell school in Paisley are comig to visit our class. We are working together on active learning. There are seven children in the class and they come to us on a Thursday morning with their teacher and their nursery officer. At playtime we all play together in the playground. The primary 3s in our class have been excellent buddies to our visitors and many of us have made new friends already!

Super Sandwiches!

We linked together our Writing and Technology by making super sandwiches.
We had to use our technolgy skills of spreading, chopping and cutting to make a banana sandwich with our shoulder partner. We had to think carefully about everything we did as we then had to write out a set of instructions.

The sandwiches were yummy and Mrs Hutchison said the quality of our writing was superb!

We really are successful learners!

Active Learning

As part of our Maths and Language programmes, we have lots of active learning activities. We enjoy lots of different things from using the computers and the Smartboard to using multilink and playing matching games.

Working well in Room 7

All children in P2/3 have settled well into class. The Primary 3s in the class are enjoying helping the Primary 2s settle into the “big end” of the school. We have all worked together to create a set of class rules which we must remember to follow or we may end up on the traffic lights.

We also created good examples of a Quality Audience, Quality Line, Quality Worktime and Quality Grouptime. Mrs Hutchison took some photos of each of these.

Our trip to the Science Centre

We had fantastic fun on our class trip to the science centre. First we went to the planetarium to look at the stars and moon. Laura asked us to try to join the stars which made constellations, then she told us an interesting story about them. From the story we learned that from the pot shape inside the Great Bear you can find the north star inside the little bear.
At the minibeast lab we were allowed to touch worms and an African snail. Some of us were brave to touch cockroaches. We learned lots of interesting facts about minibeasts. We then had time to explore the activities in the science mall. There were so many activities, we were really busy. We particularly liked making the giant bubble which was about the same size as our smart board. Many of us loved playing the giant piano by jumping from key to key.
We had a wonderful trip and would like to thank all the adults who made it possible; the workers at the science centre who were really friendly and the adults who accompanied us making sure that we did not get lost when we were so excited playing with the activities.

Primary 2/3 has got talent!

Well done to Fab 5: EllieLeigh, Rebecca, Carla, Melissa and Chloe. They put on a fantastic performance at Kirky's Got Talent. They were very brave to get up on the stage, Well done girls!
