This week we have been busy learning about transport in the Nursery. We have been practising our mechanical skills in our ‘garage’, excavating compost with the diggers and building bridges and ramps with a variety of construction materials. Some of the children helped to create a car mat to play with the toy cars and remote control car on while others created tools to decorate the ‘garage’ using collage materials. We have been learning about road safety and have been practising crossing the road; everyone understands that we must stop, look and listen and only cross the road when holding an adult’s hand – fantastic! On Friday we undertook a traffic survey outside the school; we used tally marks to record what vehicles we saw and next week we are going to create pictograms to graph the results of our survey.

VIKING HOUSES
CHILDREN MAKE VIKING HOUSES
AT DALBEATTIE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Exclusive by Fraser Campbell
The P3/4 children made mini—Viking homes. It took them a long time but they finished it. Some of them thatched the roof while others planted sticks in ground and then slid art straws through. The way that they thatched was with straw and card. They cut the straw and placed the straw on the card “Well it was not easy,” said the children. It was really brilliant fun. I thought they all looked great.
