During term 4 the children in primary 4B have been learning about Edinburgh’s Old Town. We have looked at the living conditions in the old town and how this affected people’s health. We have also learned stories about some of the well-known residents of the Old Town. On Monday 9th May we visited parts of the old town. We started off at Greyfriar’s Kirkyard and listened to the story about Greyfriar’s Bobby and his master. We then walked to the Grassmarket and Lawnmarket.
Primary 3A enjoyed the Science workshop, Get Fizzy, on the 25th April. They worked in groups to mix a range of solids and liquids together to create a chemical reaction. They had fun choosing which solid and liquid would create the biggest reaction. They carried out their experiments safely and wore protective clothing and goggles.
Primary 1A have been working hard on their Living and Growing topic. As part of this we have been learning about looking after plants and growing our own sunflowers. We have also been looking at the life cycle of a butterfly and currently have caterpillars in class. On Thursday the 19th May we went to Edinburgh Zoo to continue our learning about Living and Growing. We had lots of fun!
Jack in P4B won a Christmas card design competition. His prize is for Mr Pritt and his team to run a fun arts and crafts session for his class. This will be taking place on 24th May. We’ll post some more photos of the event after this time.
This was the card that Jack designed.
