P3A’s Week in Review

Max and Stevie from Meadowbank Karate Club demonstrated some moves during our Karate taster session
    We helped each other to practise our 2 times tables.
    We really enjoyed our karate taster session!
    Sana made an incredible Viking ship on the strike days at home. We were all very impressed!
    For World Book Day we did a draw along with the illustrator of Dave the Pigeon. How fabulous are our drawings?! We are working on our listening and following instruction skills as well as trying not to worry if we make mistakes and most of us did really well with these skills today.
    We have some phenomenal artists in P3A and on Wednesday during Calm Time Cillian, Joa and Archie produced these masterpieces!

    P6A’s STEM Visit to Holyrood High School

    We had a brilliant time on our visit to Holyrood RC High School on Tuesday. We got to visit the DET classrooms and use saws and sandpaper to make our own keychains and then we visited a Biology classroom where we investigated using microscopes. We even got to learn about how to safely use a Bunsen Burner!

    P6A STEAM Parachute Building Challenge

    As part of our Science Forces topic we have been exploring air resistance. Today we enjoyed fine tuning the parachutes we designed and built in groups. We then took them to the top of the library stairs to test how well they travelled (and landed). Many of us were proud of our designs and pleasantly surprised with how well they worked!
