As part of our Superhero topic, we looked at a super ‘woman’ this week called Amelia Earhart and learned about how things fly. This tied in nicely with International Woman’s Day on Monday.To commemorate her, we followed instructions to make our own paper planes then tested them outside afterwards 😃 ✈️

P3a requested plants for the classroom. We took this as an opportunity to work on our co-operation skills by working in small groups to replant some spider plants. Pupils had to take turns and decide who would carry out each part of the process. We will be watering the plants weekly, taking the time to observe how the plants are changing as they grow.
Primary 1/2 were learning about fractions. We made whole paper plate pizzas. Then we cut them into two equal parts to learn about a 1/2. We had great fun!
We had a wonderful day celebrating all things book related. All children enjoyed an interactive sorry and rhyme session with Christine at Fountainbridge Library and we took time to think about our favourite book and why we like it. We extended our library and spent the day exploring new texts of different genres.
P3a had a great day celebrating World Boom day. They watched a live show where authors and illustrators gave suggestions on how to create stories. All pupils joined in drawing with Lydia Monks and Rob Biddulph, they also started to create a story about the character they have drawn. Pupils problem solved to create a fun environment to read in this afternoon and tomorrow they will be turning a potato into their favourite character.
To celebrate this year’s World Book Day we entered a competition to design a winter coat, hat and boots for “Shadrach” the lion, based on the book Shadrach by local author Susan Ralph.
We were delighted that our very own Kareem was a winner! We will be receiving a signed copy of the book for our class library.
Well done Kareem!
Primary 2 had a great time celebrating World Book Day last week by watching a live stream of authors and illustrators including taking part in a drawing lesson with the author of ‘What the ladybird heard,’ Lydia Monks. She also really loves our drawings of the fine prize cow when we sent them to her on Twitter.
We also made bookmarks to take home and took part in a story book scavenger hunt in class looking for characters, objects and other things in the books.
On Friday, we split into 2 groups to act out the story of ‘What the ladybird heard’ and had great fun doing the animal noises
