Both schools have been visiting their local woods this week for a block of outdoor learning that we like to call Friday Forest Fun! We will be doing lots of different outdoor activities to develop skills in team building, cooperation, resilience and confidence. Above all, we will have FUN!
We hope you enjoy these pictures!

Yesterday some of the older pupils in the school planted some new trees in the playground. they’re becoming very skilled in this and their super efforts will be helpful not only for the environment , but for helping us achieve an Eco Flag! Great job!
On the last day of Term 1, P1-3 met with Phoebe and Naomi at the Link Park. We played some games, walked along the nature path, made a food web using plant/animal pictures and chalk , and then made our own bird feeders! A busy , fun day!
The weather was truly awful today so P4-7 had a class vote and opted to stay inside…hopefully next week we will get out in the playground.
We looked at map symbols today and also orienteering symbols. We then did a treasure hunt around the school to locate them and guess what they were.
Some very good answers from the pupils but the duck was the hardest to get! Ask your learner if the can remember what it means.
We all had a brilliant last day of term with our adventures at the Link Park. Phoebe, Naomi and Jean taught us about food chains, minibeasts and everyone had the chance to make a bird feeder. Both classes had a little bit of rain while we were out but this didn’t dampen spirits or spoil our fun. Huge thanks to Phoebe, Naomi and Jean.
Have a look at some of our photos…
Olivia encouraged us to recycle batteries and brought some in for the battery bins! Wow!
Toby, Archie, and Rosie did some work on our fantastic poly tunnel. Happy children outdoors!
Check out the photos on our P1-3 Auchencairn class page of the minibeast hunt around the playground!
