Healthy Habits! ⚽️🍎💤💧 Today we were learning about what a ‘habit’ is and how we can make healthy choices which can turn into habits! We played a game of Bingo to help is with this! #exercise #healthyeating #sleep #water #healthyhabits #DPSHealthWeek

P5 have really enjoyed our science IDL. We explored forces, chemical reactions, electricity and the human body.

Last week we had a visit from Forth Valley STEM outreach team. During their visit we learned about energy and created wind turbines. We then extracted DNA from a strawberry and finished the day by creating and launching rockets. Lots of fun was had!

This week we’ve been learning about coordinates. To demonstrate our understanding we played battleships. #makinglearningfun #article29 #article31

During our visit to Edinburgh Zoo, we noticed lots of plaques near the animals with names of people of who had sponsored them. This became our stimulus for our persuasive writing lesson. Can we persuade Miss Miller to sponsor an animal for the class? #pupilchoice

We completed Exit Passes to demonstrate our understanding of the link between multiplication and division! ✖️➗ #factfamilies #numeracy #multiplucation #division #makinglinks

During our final session with Cameron from YMI Falkirk, we learnt about rhythm! We used rhythm grids with body percussion and instruments! 🎶🎵🎶 And finished of with our favourite song and activity! #music #rhythm #rhyme #sing #songs #beat #clap #stamp #claves

Creating beautiful still life images in the style of Cézanne. We used chalk pastels and arranged fruit in a position that we found aesthetically pleasing. Next we took a photo in direct sunlight to ensure we could see light and shadow.

Learning about Electricity and where our household appliances get their power from.

P4 have been building our skills whilst learning to write persuasively for a variety of topics. After weeks of diligent effort, lots of us were so proud of the work we produced today.

Rain won’t hinder our Brain Break! Some yoga this afternoon to reset before our last lesson of the day.

Such an interesting and inspiring morning watching the @bbciplayer.bsky.social Authors Live event and drawing along with Bunny Vs Monkey author @jamiesmart.bsky.social.

Last week we worked on some coding with @missc-dps.bsky.social and P3/2. We used the app ScratchJnr on our Connected Falkirk devices 👍🏻

Really pleased with how our silhouette pictures turned out. These were linked to our class novel Red Fever 📖 Well done P6!

A chilled end to our day with some relaxing time at the library.

We spent a lovely afternoon in the #Library at Bo’ness Academy. We listened to a story from the #ReadingAmbassadors before exploring the library with Mrs Paterson, the librarian, and having a snack. #TransitionProgramme #MovingOn #P7Team 😊 @mrshilditch-dps.bsky.social 😊
