Deeside Rugby Taster Session

Over the next four weeks we are very excited to have the benefit of rugby coaching from Kim of Deeside Rugby.  Today we learnt we need to run forward, throw the ball behind us and always be on the lookout for space. Putting our hands in a “W” shape will help us to catch the ball.

We listened really well, worked really hard and can’t wait till next weeks lesson.

Primary 3S – Children In Need!

We developed our literacy and numeracy skills last week through the context of Children In Need.

In literacy, we wrote character profiles for Pudsey Bear, read a story called Pudsey’s Fundraising Adventure, sequenced pictures and retold the story in our own words.

In numeracy, we helped Pudsey solve some word problems.  These were challenging but we helped each other and we all got there in the end!  We also enjoyed buying delicious home bakes from Mrs Stephen’s class.

We all enjoyed dressing up and we decorated our classroom with special Children In Need bunting.

We watched a video about Children In Need and we now understand more about the charity and how important it is.

We had lots of fun whilst raising money for a very worthy cause.

Thank you to those parents who managed to attend our reading session. Also thank you to Miss Patterson who read to a small group.

I can select and read text which I enjoy and find interesting.

We also brought in one of our favourite books from home and shared it with our friends.

Primary 5~ Chefs at Pizza Express

Primary 5 had the best time at Pizza Express this week, learning how to make our very own pizzas!

We learnt the different stages and techniques of making a pizza but the best bit was getting to take them back to school and eat them!!

Fairy Project in Nursery

We have been very busy and creative turning this……

Into this…….

First we collected stones and pebbles…..

 

and pushed them into the special glue to form a path.

Next we listened to everyone’s ideas and added lots of decorations…

We thought a rope bridge would be fun for the fairies…..

Iona carefully placed the sticks in place and Murray finished off the top step.

We then constructed a toadstool for the finishing touch…

The children are having a lovely time playing with the fairy house, using their imagination and we will look to extend their learning by changing the themes according to their ideas.

P7 Enterprise theme

P7 enjoyed a visit from local entrepreneur Tom Mottershead from ‘The Deesidedly Tasty Company’ He spoke to the children about the origins of his business and how he worked on his business plan.

Tom also introduced the children to the SWOT acronym….

Strengths

Weaknesses

Opportunities

Threats

Tom Mottershead came in to school today to teach the p7’s about his business, the Deesidley tasty company, for their business enterprise topic. He told them about marketing, selling, and how he started his business. P7 learned lots of useful tips that will help them with their topic!     Erin

I really liked his presentation because it really inspired me to do something like setting up my own business. I found it interesting how he moved from the police to do something way different!     Peter
