P3 have been very busy over the last couple of weeks. They have been learning some Christmas songs in class and visited Alma House, Munchies Care Home and Dalbeattie Day Centre to entertain guests and residents with their singing.
As part of Book Week Scotland, Mrs Duncan read a selection of stories to Primary 1-3 pupils. The stories were selected from this years Read, Write, Count bags part of a national campaign to support and encourage parents to become more involved in their children’s learning. We hope all P1-3 pupils had fun and enjoyed sharing the contents of their bags with parents and cares.
We have been learning about our bodies in nursery over the last few weeks. We all knew lots about the parts of the body we could see and could name many of these parts. Our questions,and what we really wanted to find out more about, were all related to what happened inside our body, so that has been our focus. We borrowed a skeleton from the primary and then asked the Science Department if they had something which showed our insides. The secondary teachers were worried the model was a bit gruesome for us – but we have found it fascinating and have remembered so much of what we have been talking about. We have looked at the skeleton, the internal organs, muscles and blood and completed various activities in relation to these.
On Wednesday 15th November, Group 1 attended their first HE transition session.
The children thoroughly enjoyed their morning baking some very yummy chocolate puddings and followed the safety rules of the HE department very well – even tidying up after themselves!!
Group 2 are very excited for their visit!
