Max’s Papa very kindly came to our Nursery to visit us and brought his acoustic guitar and his electric guitar with him. We sang some songs together and we even had a wee shot at playing the electric guitar and listened to the music we made through the headphones. It was very exciting and lots of fun! Thank you so much to Max’s Papa.
Today p5-7 enjoyed taking part in Enterprise the Business. The children worked in groups to create their own business names, slogans and logos. The groups had to decide who would take on each of the business roles, for example managing director, finance, buyer, seller and so on. The theme this year was ‘Around the World’ and the children were tasked with creating numerous items with that theme, including, cards, gift boxes, bookmarks and table decorations and sell them to make a profit. They had to budget in order to buy the items needed to make their creations from the shop and convince the staff that they were worth buying. Once an item was bought the children were given a cheque and had to go to the bank to cash it in. Every team worked really hard and it was amazing to see what they created! It was a very close competition with Crafty Kids winning overall! Well done to everyone for taking part.
This week Primary 2/3 were introduced to their new topic – Native Americans.
We explore 3 different regions that they lived in- the plains, the eastern woodlands and the southwest. By exploring this we found out that a chief is identified by having 3 feathers on their headdress. We created our own headdresses and now we are all a chief of a Native American tribe!
