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.
In Zone Time this week Ella and Lucas choose to focus on the meta skill ‘Curiosity’ by conducting a chemistry experiment on starch. Charlotte has been ‘Adapting’, as she made different consistencies and colours of cloud dough.
We hope you all have a lovely Easter, fingers crossed for some sunshine! ☀️ 🐣
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. They learned about the outdoor access code to ‘leave no trace’, dismantling their dens at the end of the session.

This afternoon both classes headed outside for outdoor learning. We discussed fire safety, the fire triangle and the risks and benefits of lighting a fire. Once the fire was lit the children got to work planting the first seeds of the year in the Polycrub, before enjoying a fire cooked warm banana with melted chocolate – yum yum! 🍌🍫🌱🪵🔥
P5/6/7 had a great two days of skiing at Glenshee. Pupils showed real bravery and resilience, all while improving their skills and having a great time. Have a look at the photos in the Sway below…

Today p5/6/7 have been learning all about birds! They make pinecone feeders this morning, and walked up to the Creag Choinnich bird hide to take part in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch in the afternoon. We were able to spot lots of chaffinches, tree creepers, and a couple of robins. Some of the pupils enjoyed making camouflage dens to observe from.
