For the month of September we took part in Language of the Month.  We have many children at Ladyloan who have English as an additional language and we wanted to find out a little more about different languages and cultures.

Our language of the month was Russian.  Each class took part in different activities and some even did some fab research on an aspect of Russian culture.

Mrs Milne (EAL teacher) and pupils from AHS came to help some of the younger class pronounce simple Russian phrases.

We now have a Language of the Month display in school that you can check out in more detail during open-evenings and other school events.  The Digital Leaders have made a great job of making this display interactive using the ipads

Head over to our Parent/Carer Information section to find out about Tuck shop prices, uniform, PE and Parent Council meetings. A great way to stay informed! 🙂

We chose a homework topic to research.  Some of our topics were: Pokémon, Alexander Graham Bell, tennis, tornadoes, volcanoes and sea creatures.   We made up research questions to help us find out information.  We did some work in school and some at home.

We enjoyed doing our project.

Pearce – ‘I like that we got to choose our own project.’

Libby – ‘I liked how we got to give feedback to our classmates.’

Jack ‘I want to do it again.’

Thomas – ‘I liked how there was no limit to the size of the project.’

Paige – ‘I liked that everybody did something different.’

Ian – ‘I like cactus.’

Miss Ferrie and Miss Christie would like to thank all the parents and children for their hard work and effort!   We saw lots of amazing work!

On Thursday the 8^th of June, at Ladyloan primary school, the nursery took part in a sports day, the activities were similar to the older primary’s sports day, except for a few stations. Parents were welcome to come along and many parents did attend. Some of the activities included egg and spoon races, beanbag balancing races, running, crawling races, hockey stick, balloon races and a race to pick a flower and give it to their parent. A few primary sevens volunteered to help out with some of the stations and had lots of fun with the children. Medals, certificates and ice lollies were given to the children after the event.
