We have really enjoyed our topic this term. As we were learning all about seasons, earth, moon and sun in science, we decided to link our topic to space. We had a partner challenge to make a rocket from household junk. We have written wonderful story books about our adventures in our home made rocket to the silver planet. We created interesting aliens to join us on an adventure.

In science we learned that the earth spins. When it is facing the sun we have daylight when our countries are away from the sun it is night time. We enjoyed a cooperative challenge to make a model which shows that the earth turns to make day and night. Some of us were very clever and tried to add a moon spinning around the earth.

Scotland Homecoming Week

We enjoyed learning lots about Scotland. On Monday we played Scottish games at PE. That afternoon we looked at a map of Scotland and found places that we know. On Tuesday Miss Kingsley very kindly prepared traditional Scottish food for us to taste. Most dishes got a huge thumbs up but the haggis had a mix of opinion. We enjoyed listening to “Happy Birthday” song in Gaelic and even managed to sing along.On Wednesday we designed and created our own tartan by weaving. On
Thursday we enjoyed hearing Miss Britton trying to read some stories and poems in traditional scots tongue. On Friday we enjoyed primary 3's Homecoming assembly and then met room 7 at PE to learn some Scottish ceildh dancing.

Gladigator Fun

On Friday 27th November Gladigator came to visit. The Dental Nurse talked to us about the correct way to brush our teeth. We learned that we should brush without water and should not rinse our mouths afterwards this will keep all the flouride in our mouths and help our teeth. Gladigator came to show us how to brush in small circles then the fun began.
