Term 3

THE RAINFOREST JOYNING THE LEARNING

Our secret has finally been revealed. For the last 7 weeks Primary 7 has transformed their classroom into a magnificent rainforest. The children have studied lots of aspects related to the rainforest and learned a great amount of new facts. They have completed a wide range of writing tasks throughout JTL and have made great attempts to up-level their writing to meet their writing targets. The children created a waterfall and river to run through the centre of the class. They also built a tribal hut. The topic came to an end at our special Open Evening on Thursday 25th March. We had a brilliant turnout. All our parents came to celebrate the children's hard work and were amazed by the high standard of work produced. I am very proud of all the children and their super effort. All the hard work really paid off!

Primary 7 and Primary 5/6 had a very enjoyable afternoon learning how to do Hip Hop Dancing. Two dance teachers came in to teach us a range of dance moves and were impressed at how well the children picked up the moves. It was hard work but lots of fun!









REID KERR COLLEGE - EARTH CALLING CHALLENGE

This week we were visited by staff from Reid Kerr College to launch a new project called Earth Calling. The staff came to teach us about ways we can make a difference and help to save energy. The children were learning about renewable energy sources. They had the chance to put tiles on a roof and learn how to put on a solar panel. The children went outside and put on their Health and Safety gear before taking part in the activity. The children also watched a short video to help reinforce what they can do to make a difference. As part of our science and eco-schools work, the children will work on an on-line course to teach them more about renewable energy sources during term 4. At the end the pupils will receive a certificate for all their efforts from the college.
