Primary 7

Thursday, 25 May 2017

We have been using the school's technology to do some fun research.
For our STEM challenge this week, we were given a country to research.
We were given a choice of working alone or individually and we loved it!
The country we were researching was Bangladesh and we were shocked by it's large population and other cool facts.
We had a super afternoon!

We were super lucky to have a special visit from 2 Dental workers.
They told us how important it is to look after our teeth and mouth.
They also showed us how to brush our teeth and clean our mouths properly. It was so cool because they brought in a massive set of teeth and a huge toothbrush.
We learned how bad it is for our teeth if we have too much sugar.
It was lots of fun!

We have had a super busy week!
First of all, on Thursday it was World Book Day. We had the best day ever. We got to come to school dressed up as our favourite character. EVEN Miss McFarlane dressed up. She was pretending to be Mrs Twit it was so funny.
We did lots of fun activities. After playtime we went to the library and one of the library ladies read us some stories. It was a great treat!
After the fun on Thursday, we came into school on Friday (today) to find out it was Careers Day.
We got to meet lots of different people and they told us all about their jobs. We met a nurse, a fireman, a radio presenter and lots more. It was so cool!

Every week we work in the STEM Hub doing different experiments.
We love going to the STEM Hub and getting dressed up like proper scientists!
This week we used different strategies to make a 'balloon rocket' and we tested to see which balloon was the quickest.
We have done lots of experiments in the STEM Hub, ask us all about them!

Primary 4 were getting creative for the local poster competition.
The children were given the task to design a poster to promote Faifley as a 'friendly' environment. They have absolutely loved using their creativity during this activity!
The winning poster will be chosen at the end of February. Good luck to everyone in Primary 4!

Scottish Country Dancing

Primary 4 have been busy working on their dance moves!
We have been learning various ceilidh dances such as, Military Two Step, Canadian Barn Dance and the St Bernards Waltz.
We weren't sure if we would like the dancing but we actually really enjoy it! :)
At our Christmas party, we will be using our new dancing skills to boogie with Primary 5.
