On Thursday we came together to complete our Spring House Challenge. We wrote poetry, designed and made Easter bonnets for Buttony Bear, made Easter gardens and completed puzzles. We also had a challenge to move an egg without touching it. The winning team made a zipline to move their egg. The Pine Martens and Mountain Hares were joint winners of the Challenge and Mountain Hares overall winners for this term. This afternoon they chose to have a cartoon, snacks and draw along for their House Treat.Learning in P5/6/7 this week…
On Tuesday P5/6/7 Mr and Mrs Brat visited the class to share their knowledge of Jacobites, and more specifically Highland Life in the 18th Century. They shared interesting facts, stories, and brought memorabilia to look at. The class asked lots of questions and some even got to dress in traditional highland dress, as it would have been worn back then.

Today we went outside to take part in the Nuart graffiti art event for schools. We came up with a word bank of words we would use to describe our school then Lucas S, Ivy and Edith mapped out on paper how to arrange them. We used chalk to transfer the words to a big 3m square in the playground. We will send a photo of our word square to be included in the event next month. We also spent time in the polycrub, planting sunflowers, Livingston Daisies and Crocosmia. All our seeds got a good watering as it wasLatest updatesDen Building with Ranger Lianne – P5/6/7
This afternoon P5/6/7 headed out to Creag Choinnich woods to build dens with the help and guidance of Mar Lodge Ranger, Lianne. They used all natural materials to build a sturdy structure with considerations for weather, warmth and shelter.
