Primary Seven updated their Scratch skills on Tuesday and Wednesday this week by completing a CCEA task where they had to build a 2-D shape, and then place a line of symmetry into the shape. Through good discussion and recap, pupils experimented and tested different codes and combinations to create the symmetry shapes. Pupils really enjoyed the challenge of figuring out the correct code. A really great effort from all. Well done P7. One of our pupils, in particular, did a great job explaining his attempt.
P3T were following instructions as part of their Literacy lesson. They enjoyed learning about how to make ice cream in a bag. Even Mrs Thompson was surprised at how GOOD it tasted!
Some lucky boys and girls received prizes for Mathletics and special prizes for a school “social distancing” poster competition held by our Board of Governors.
Proud winners took home some great gifts!
Congratulations to our October winners for fantastic reading, behaviour and attitude to school😊😊
P5DK had a lovely week in Literacy learning about and using a variety of different drama techniques. They also learnt lots of interesting facts about the Ancient Egyptians through poetry. They worked in small groups to learn a verse of a poem called The Mummy. Here are some photos to show them in action.
P7’s first numeracy lesson of the new term was a problem solving lines of symmetry task, where pupils had to make their own alien mask. Using co-ordinates on squared paper; pupils had to plot points and then by using symmetry reflect the same point on the other side of the face. Pupils were quick and very inquisitive to see where the other points could be plotted. Different pupils came up with different strategies, with all pupils enjoying their first main activity back in school. Well done P7 🙂
Primary Seven reacquainted themselves with the Scratch programme this afternoon by completing a task involving shape and lines of symmetry. Pupils had to use the coding programme to direct their sprite to move and create a four sided shape, turning at 90 degrees to build a square. Pupils had time to experiment and familiarise themselves before completing the activity. Pupils did a great job. Well done P7. We aim to complete more lines of symmetry on more difficult shapes later in the week.
