Food Groups

Last week we were learning about the main food groups. We explored the food triangle and the Eatwell plate. We used plastic food to match items to the correct food group. We were good at this. We also played a few games to further develop our knowledge and understanding. 

New P7 house captains

Well done to the new P7 house captains. 

Each house had the chance to vote for the person they thought would do the best job for their house and the 2 people with most votes got the job.

Nessie is taking shape

Our Nessie models are fairly taking shape. Our team work is good and we have shared our idea with each other to produce these super models.

One group has finished their model so they helped to create a large map of Scotland so we can mark on important places and landmarks as we learn them. They used a projector to create a large image on the paper and then drew around it. Miss Kelday is going to cut it out as there are lots of tricky bits. 

Nessie Building

In our topic work we have been learning about the myth of the Loch Ness Monster. We have learned about the location of Loch Ness, its length and depth and also why the water is so black. We have looked at photographs of possible Nessie sightings and have written imaginative stories about what it would be like to spot the monster. In homework we also had the opportunity to design our own mythical creatures. 

To add even more fun to our learning we decided to build some junk models of Nessie. We have made a good start already. 

Active Spelling

We have been practising our spelling words using playdoh this week. 

Handwriting

In p4 we are trying hard to improve our handwriting. We are all working on strengthening our joining skills. We do this in many different ways. Here are some pupils practising their joins in the sand tray.

P4 bumper crop!

P4 have dug up their crops this week. In P3 they planted tatties, onion and carrots with Mr MacLeod. He helped a few of the boys to dig them up and dish them out between everyone in the class. Everyone got about 5 or 6 tatties and an onion. Unfortunately the carrots didn't work out this year. We have also given a few vegetables to the school kitchen so they can make some soup for dinner next week.
