Today we were very lucky to have a lady from St Andrew’s Ambulance deliver some first aid training to us. We learnt about what we should do in an emergency, what to do if we come across someone who is unwell and we also learnt how to give basic CPR. We had to do 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths (although we didn’t do these). Then we learnt how to bandage a head injury. It was very practical and we learnt lots!

✨P1-3 have been learning about how to stay safe online. We watched some videos called The Adventures of Karen, Winston and the SMART Crew. Then we made an infographic of our learning.

✨Primary 1-3 have been very busy learning about the weather and climate. They have been learning about the different instruments used to measure the weather and so decided to make their own wind sock! P2 and 3 learnt about the compass points and we tested our wind socks to see which direction the wind was coming from! 🐾 Next Steps – Measure and record the weather.

Today we listened to Miss McKerrell reading a story from the active board. The story was called Digiduck and the Big Decision. In the story, digiduck learned that it can be upsetting to make fun of your friends online even when you think it’s just a joke. After the story we had a talk about when things pop up on our screens and what we should do about it. Then we drew a picture of one of the characters from the story.

Today P1/2 learnt about where some weather comes from. We learnt that water is always moving and can describe the water cycle. We even remembered some really big words like evaporate, condensation and atmosphere! We worked together to create a big water cycle for the class!

Today Primary 1/2 we’re learning about Remembrance Day with Miss Northcote. Then they worked together to make a beautiful poppy mosaic! At 11am they observed a 1 minute silence.

Primary 1 and 2 have been learning to use emotion words to describe what different characters are feeling throughout a story. We read Room on the Broom and used the emotion works symbols to help us to explain what each character is feeling.

Primary 1 and 2 have been learning to work as a team through completing various Kapla challenges. We have to listen to all ideas to make sure that everyone feels valued, we must talk about all ideas before making a decision and make sure that everyone agrees.

P1-2 have been very busy having fun with science, they have using their senses to make scientific observations. Science has been a great opportunity for us to develop our vocabulary and use describing words to make detailed observations.
