We had two lovely boys ( plus Nana & Dad) join our P1s for some play sessions led by Miss Pringle on Monday  . Cleaning shells and playing in the sand was great fun!

next session : 19th February 1-2pm

Another busy week here for us!
We started with some active spelling sessions .

We also developed our leadership skills in playground team games .

We learned about Scottish fishing and created some Paul Klee inspired fish etchings .

In Health we looked at food groups , healthy and less healthy foods , and challenged ourselves to make healthy snack swaps . P1 experimented with fruit and veg prints… when they were able to stop eating them! 🥦 🥕 🌽

Finally we had our partnership assembly and Ari won the P1 Extreme reading competition, and Hilib won Pupil of the week for excellent effort and concentration especially in Art. We are very proud of you both! 🌟

Welcome back to term 3 and a Happy New Year to all our pupils, families and the community.

It’s been so busy we haven’t managed a weekly posting, so there are plenty of pictures this week!

We have been learning all about water so far this term, and the temperature it freezes and boils at. We carried out salt and ice experiments and P1s enjoyed freeing the dinosaurs from the Ice Age!

We have also been learning about Scottish artists, and this week it was Steven Brown. P1 created tartan teddies and weaving patterns, while P3-7 recreated their own McCoos with embellishments and Scottish names.

In PE on Tuesdays we have started a block on hockey, which the children are working very hard in!

We have had a teams assembly online with our partner school Auchencairn, and we have launched the Reading for Life competition.

Ariadne was our award winner for last week and Isla brought in her pony riding trophy for most improved pony. Fantastic wider achievement!

Joseph in P1 also brought in a lovely jigsaw of animals which shared with us all to have a go.

This week has been all about Robert Burns and we dressed in tartan yesterday , then held our annual Scots poetry competition, this year at Barlochan . Well done to all who took part !

We visited Barlochan residential home, we did some programming on the microbit computers, we made Christmas decorations and Christmas cards. We also had a very successful nativity play, which was excellent! Thank you to all the parents and friends who attended our show. We were also very happy to have a partnership Christmas party with our other school Auchencairn . We had a great time!

We would like to wish everyone in our school community  a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. See you all in 2024!

Well done to Isla for being our pupil of the week ! Super leadership skills and kindness .

We’ve had a busy week of Christmas crafts, science , curling and more Scottish dancing !  We also made some lovely art work based on the theme of light and colour.

A big well done again to Maddie, as she was also our pupil of the week ! She has been working so hard in all areas and making sensible choices outside in the playground . Excellent 👍🏻!!

Another busy week with spelling outside , nativity show practice , addition and subtraction in number and more curling! 🥌 We also created artwork based on light and shadow – and we now know what opaque, transparent and translucent mean. P1 looked at shadows made by toys and turned them into pictures .

Well done  also to Maddie for her super achievements in horse riding at the Three Lochs! 🐎
