Deeside Rugby Coaching P4/5/6/7

Pupils in primary 4,5,6 and 7 have enjoyed four weeks of rugby coaching from Deeside Rugby Development Officer, Finlay. They learned new skills for touch and tag rugby, all showing great effort and teamwork.

Deeside Rugby hold training sessions on Saturday mornings Banchory. If you would like more info on how your child can get involved please let us know!

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.

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! ☀️ 🐣

Making our ebooks in P1-4

P1-4 have been learning about animals who migrate, hibernate or adapt during our cold winters. They used their technology skills to make ebooks. They needed to decide which animals to write about and made sure to put them in the correct section. Some children took notes from the internet and drew pictures of their favourite animals.

RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch

21/01/26

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.
