Strawbee Octopus

We have been learning about animals .

We wanted to make octopus, Mrs. Woods showed us how to make an octopus with Strawbees and paper.  We used the kidizoom camera to record our work.

Halloween Walk

Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 went for a walk round our local community to look at the houses that had been decorated for the Halloween competition taking part in Heathhall community.

We took clipboards and pencils so we could use our data handling skills to collect information on the decorations we could see. We used tally marks to count how many Halloween items we saw on our walk.

Scooter Week – November

This week, the whole school has enjoyed taking part in Scooter Week.  P4D have been developing their scooter skills by weaving in and out of cones/tyres and learning to control their speed and stopping.  Our last session started in beautiful Autumn sunshine but ended in heavy fog!
