When world war 2 started in 1939 my uncle was a solder in it and my gran gave him a bible for good luck, but it wasn't that much good luck. When he was fighting he got shot and the bulit went right through the spine of the bible and he got shot and it was very unlucky because he got shot in the heart and died.Hayley

P6S/J were doing health. We had to say about the healthy drinks and food and the not so helthy food and drinks. Then we did a worksheet about 3 people who were not healthy they were either new to a school, a broken leg or asthma we had to write about what we could do to help them. On the back of the sheet we drew a picture of our own person who was not healthy and write about them.We learned about what happens in our body when we eat to many sweets and sugary food. You could be in hospital for a long time if you eat to much unhealthy food. We all had fun thinking about all the different things we could do to help people stop eating sugary food.

The Eastmuir visit
On Tuesday 14th November 6 primary two’s went to Eastmuir. Eastmuir is another school in Barlanark. They children from Sandaig Primary only went because some of the children from eastmuir came to our school. Only 6 of them could go. We interviewed them to ask them what they did and this is what they said:
When they got there the went to see the children and meet them they all got into partners and walked about the school and they told them what each room was for. Some of the ones we can remember them telling us were The Busy Bee Room, The Kitchen, and the Soft Play. They all said that they went in the Soft play but was not allowed to play but they got told stories and more
I personally think this is a great idea for both schools to get together and meet each other then they will have more friends.

Back in 2005 to celebrate Chinese New Year on February 9th P3M made lion masks and learnt a special lion dance.
click here to download
P3N made a dragon costume for three people and practiced a dance accompanied by Chinese style music using drums and cymbals.
Both dances were performed at the whole school assembly that Miss Murdoch and Miss Neilson gave about traditional Chinese New Year celebrations and customs. Everyone enjoyed them immensely. Chinese people do lion dances at New Year because they believe it scares away any evil spirits or bad luck. This means they will have good luck for the coming year.
According to the Chinese calendar 2005 is the year of the rooster. Anyone born in this year is believed to be a pioneer in spirit. They are devoted to work and quest after knowledge.
Happy Chinese New Year!

When you turn the driver clockwise the idler turns anticlockwise and the driven turns clockwise.
If the driver is big and the driven is small the driven will go faster.

P6S/J were making gear trains. There were 3 parts the driver, the driven and the idler. We found out that the smaller the gear is the faster it goes. We got to make our own board to put the gears on. We had to make lables to put on our gear train saying about what direction it goes and if it is the driver, the driven or the idler. We then had to make a report about how we made it and the directions. Then we made a movie about it which you can look at.

We are doing a compaction on safety in a car, green cross code and safe places to cross. This picture of safety in a car and it trying to encouraged adults and children to wear seatbelts and if children need boaster seats to use them so they are safe in a car. Other children made pictures of safe places to cross and that is to encourage people to cross at the traffic lights, zebra crossing and the lollipop lady or man. You should always look both ways before crossing roads and not just run a cross as that is dangerous and you could get knocked down and could get killed or seriously injured. So be safe at all times!

P7t world war 2 newspaper
This term we are learning all about World War 2. We have learned about Hitler 1 September and more. So we know all that and then we were thinking how did everyone know about World War 2 how did the news get around. Then we thought newspapers so we all went away and made a World War 2 newspaper it was fun and the rules were no colour, only use pencil, and make the title catchy and bold. Then after we made them all Mr Torrance (our teacher) got same tea bags and paint brush and put all the tea on our newspaper to make them look old and wrinkly. It was fun and I want to do it again soon. You will probably here more about World War 2 soon from p7t and p7s.

Happy Halloween! Oop’s sorry I forgot it was on Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon we all got changed into our costumes. After we got changed we were lined up and taken to the hall and we paraded around the hall and showed everyone our costumes. After that we went back to class everything looked so different.
When we went into the classroom all the desks had been moved and sweets, cakes and juice covered the table but it was sad really because we had to wait. Then we went into Miss smith’s class, which is p7s and played some games. Then finally we were aloud to go through to p7t and have our sweets, cakes and juice and then we went back through to p7s and played some more party games and after that it was time to go home and everyone had a good time.
please leave a comment if you wish!
Thanks
