We are delighted to have a new class this term for P4-5.
We have already been busy with our project, writing and numeracy work.
Here we are enjoying our outdoor area at school and doing some wake up and shake up before we start our writing.
To bring our Sensational Stories alive, we invited Vicky from Eden Court to come in and do a Drama Workshop with us.
We invented a story and looked at different characters.
SENSATIONAL STORIES
Homework project - Foxes brought in some amazing characters for their homework this week.
They have based them on a variety of stories and will be presenting them in class to their peers.
We had a great time this year and enjoyed all the fun organised by the Pupil Council
term 2 - FOXY COLLAGE
Foxes have made an incredible collage using a variety of materials and textures.
It took a lot of teamwork and dedication and the end result is stunning. Please pop in to see our Fantastic FOXY
We looked at how easy it is to remove fossil fuels and how important it is to use them wisely and to use sustainable fuels more so we don't use up all our supplies.
We discussed the idea of mining. We experimented with a cooking representing the earth and teh chocolate chips as the coal. We picked them out and realised how much damage mining causes to the planet.
We discussed where oil in found and how we have to extract oil from deep deep down. We experimented using different length straws to suck up oil (juice) from below the sea bed.
Kate and Olivia joined us today to host an amazing ART competition in class. All of the children worked in pairs to create festive HIghland wildlife.
The paintings all cam out well and have added the Christmas cheer to the class.
We have kicked started the term with an exciting INVESTIGATION about irreversible materials. We have been learning about the properties and suitability of materials. We all agreed that we like the materials that make a CAKE.
Have a look at the fun we have had.
We have visited South America this week and been influenced by the patterns of the INCA people. We love the colours and geometric shapes. Christian came in to talk to us about Peru which really inspired us to get creative
