Primary 5 SC had designed and made boats as part of a science lesson. The boats had to be capable of holding 20 plastic Unifix cubes without sinking. They then took their boats down to the River Deveron to test them. Most boats floated successfully. The also class enjoyed the opportunity to play by the river.
In the nursery they have been getting ready for Easter. They have made little bunny rabbits out of plastic cups and paper. Inside these bunny’s there will be a surprise and they will get to take them home on Thursday. They were making lovely Easter egg paintings and made stunning flower pictures. They also have been making cute little chicks that are hanging up in the nursery.
Nursery pupils are also looking forward to a bike parade and at home they have made Easter hats at home for their bike parade. After their bike parade they will be having a tea party for the parents.

On Friday the 17th of January 2015, the nursery children went on a trip to the secondary pond. Their project is about water . They went to the secondary pond to get ideas for their own pond.
The nursery children are making their own pond in their playing yard. In their pond they have put sticks, water, fish and ducks. (Not real ducks.) They put heavy logs and stones around it to stop them from falling in.
They learned that they need water to drink, to wash hands and to bath.

The nursery have been learning about water.
They decided that they wanted to make a pond in their garden. To find out more about making a pond they went to The Gordon Schools and saw their pond and that gave them a big inspiration about what they wanted to do with their pond. They have been working as a team to make a little pond in the garden and have put a lot of things into the pond. They are learning how to keep the pond nice and tidy.
The nursery children have been learning about washing their hands.They have been making a lot of things and learning about what happens to objects when they go into the water. They have also been learing about sinking and floating. They have been putting lots of different objects into the water and watching and talking about what happens to the objects. They have been reading a book called “I don’t want to have a bath,” about a young tiger who doesn’t want to have a bath. The nursery children enjoyed that book and they have made pictures and all sorts of stuff to do with the story. Now they are reading a new story called “The Whale and the Snail” which is about about things under the sea.

On Thursday 20th November the gardening club went to Inverurie and got some new tools and we went on the train. We went to Homebase and the Garden Centre. We bought some watering cans, trowels, garden forks and some spades and more. When we were in the garden centre we all got to pick a pack of bulbs to plant in the Sensory garden and in the tubs and planters around the school. .The money for the tools and bulbs was raised last session by a coffee morning in the Stewarts Hall. The people that went to the trip would like to say a big thanks to Mr Scrimshaw, Mrs Simpson and Mrs Sell. We can’t wait till next year so we can start planting again!
