Display of Shapes

In Maths we are studying 2D shapes. Some of us have helped make an attractive display of all the shapes we know. We used plastic strips and paper fasteners.

Let it Snow

We have had the first snowfall of the winter and all the children are enjoying the fun in the playground. Here is Martyna, who has made a snowman on her wheelchair. We wonder what his name is.

How to wash your hands!

At assembly today we showed everyone how to wash their hands.

Remember:

CATCH IT! (sneeze into a tissue)

BIN IT! (put the tissue in the bin)

and

KILL IT! (wash your hands)

Folk Singers

On Thursday 17th November 3 folk musicians came to Glaitness. They sang songs and played the piano, guitar and fiddle. We did an action song and we learned another, which we sang in a round. One of the musicians, Jeana Leslie, told us she had gone to Glaitness School when she was young.

Tag Rugby

Here we are receiving instuctions from our two rugby coaches, Bruce and Liam. We have been practising many skills such as running in a line, passing, catching and listening to instuctions.

Rock Strata

We have discovered in our Mountains topic that much of the Earth's crust is composed of different layers of rock. Here we are creating a piece of art work showing various strata. We are using bright colours and contrasting textures.

Fold Mountains

Our class is doing a study of mountains. Here we are showing how fold mountains like the Rockies, the Andes, or the Himalayas are formed. Areas of the Earth's crust called plates float about on the molten magma at the core of the World. When two plates collide, there are fold mountains formed. We are demonstrating this with a stiff sheet.

How to wash your hands.

We can stop  cold and flu spreading through out school by remembering to

and

KILL IT! (wash your hands)

but

Muddisdale Picnic

We began by taking up Orkney ingredients for an omelette. We supplied fre range egggs, Orkney potatoes and onions from the garden.

Next we made the Orkney omelette. Everyone got something to do.



We enjoyed our picnic and drank juice from non disposable cups which each of us had brought.

After doing some measuring for maths, we divided into 4 groups. Each one had to make a picture in a hoop using natural obbjects. here are the 4 pictures.
