SPACE UNIT
The whole school has been focusing on SPACE as this term's project. Our final piece of work was to share our space models with SQUIRREL class and explain how our invention worked.

Fable Writing in the Stag Class

We loved learning about Fables in The Stag Class! Many of us knew some traditional fables and enjoyed sharing them with each other. We used internet sources, exemplars and group activities to analyze and discuss the characteristics and story lines of different fables. The pupils were ale to analyse different fables, find the moral of the story and identify the message of the fables. As a result, we were able to create their own fables and share them with each other!

P7 Leadership

As part of our P7 Leadership, the girls designed a Chinese New Year mini lesson where they taught The Stag Class how to make lanterns of different types. They were using lots of skills and showing responsible attitudes, The Stag Class loved it!

Gratitude

As part of our social and emotional wellbeing curriculum, P5/6/7 have been learning about gratitude. We discussed the importance of recognising some of the many things that we are thankful for in our lives. We created gratitude spirals to show people/things and experiences that we are grateful for.

Term 3 - Our Alvie Values

P5/6/7 have started off the term by looking at each of our Values. We discussed what each value would look like and sound like. We did a lot of work around our new value 'DILIGENT' and our Star Awards this week were centred around our new value.

The Pupil Council organised the Stag Class' Christmas Party! We had lots of fun with a drawing competition, party food and party games!

Outdoor Learning - Identifying Tree Species

P5/6/7 have been working on identifying tree species in our local grounds and across Scotland. We have been studying in the leaves and learning lots of new vocabulary. Our favourite trees were the Hazel and the Oak!

P6/7 visit a local Pictish Cemetery - excavations

P6/7 after the excavations, with Eve Boyle from Historic Environment Scotland and Ed from Aberdeen University.

As part of our Land, Sea and Sky project, P6/7 had an amazing opportunity to visit a local Pictish Cemetery!

In recent years, historians and archaeologists suggested that Badenoch was the site of an important battle between the Picts and the Angles of Northumbria, formerly thought to have taken place in Angus, and the shore of Loch Alvie is a likely place for the battle site.

Eve Boyle kindly came into school to help us find out about the history of the site.

Thank you Eve, we had lots of fun and learned lots!

Application of Numeracy and Maths in a Real-life context

Pictish burial re-enactment and Application of Numeracy and Maths

As part of our field trip, Primary 6/7 looked at the scale of the cemetery site and the graves. We measured across the diameter and we had very willing volunteers to re-enact the burial! We stood around the circumference to learn how big the burial mound would have been!

Outdoor Learning at Alltnacriche for P5

Primary 5 have been having a great week at Alltnacriche Outdoor Centre where they are taking part in their John Muir Award! We have been learning how to read maps, looking at legends and keys and how to find out how steep our walk was going to be!

Celebrating Diversity

To celebrate our Diversity topic we worked with the Squirrels to build a heart full of diverse materials! As a whole school, we have loved our 'Diversity' topic! P5/6/7 really enjoyed finding out about other cultures in particular, and would like to find out even more about 'Bio'diversity!

Measuring

We have been learning about Measurement. As part of Numeracy and Maths, we took part in an outdoor scavenger hunt where we looked for different lengths, widths and distances in the school environment. We used measuring tools to help us with accurate measurements after estimating!

Welcome to the new Primary 5/6/7 class!

This week we have been learning how to work cooperatively and how we build successful teams.

We also explored a story called 'The Red Crayon' which celebrates diversity! We decided that the underlying message was: 'It's okay to be different'. We will use what we have learned to continue to support each other when we work in teams.
