On Saturday 9th September Banchory-Devenick Parent Council organised a Teddy Bear’s Picnic in the woods where we hold our regular Forest School sessions. This event was for under 5’s. Mrs Sutherland ran the Forest School session, with help from Miss Rynne. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all those who organised the event.

It stayed sunny.

Bears waiting at the school door.

Toasting marshmallows.

Blow on your marshmallow to cool it down.

Hunt the bears.

It was great fun!

Janice scanned a pupil’s chest so that we could see what it was like in their body. It came up on the screen and we could see the heart, lungs and all the ribs.

Alec Caravan came to see us today to speak about our bodies. We learned about the heart, lungs and the digestive system. We also learned about the effects of smoking. We saw Harald in the Diversity World theme park via a Spy cam. Harald also sang for us about diversity.

Mrs Sutherland taught P4-7 a variety of painting techniques using their fingers. If you look at these pictures you can see some different styles. So all our cows are different, but they are all Highland Cows.

Mrs Edgar came in to school to do Kodaly with both classes. We followed beats, repeated patterns and drummed along with Uptown Funk.

Primary 4-7 were in the forest and made dens in the forest. We also had Marshmallows cooked on the fire.

We had to work as teams in our to achieve more. Mrs Sutherland told us that Together Everyone Achieves More or simply: Team work!
