Exhibition

Leave a comment

The pupils across the school worked towards their painting targets set by their Class Teachers and practised new techniques and demonstrated their skills. The results were very professional and deserved to be exhibited for all to see.

Therefore we enlisted the help of an outside agency that specialised in art galleries to mount, frame and exhibit the pupils’ work at Parents’ Evening.

We hope you got the oppportunity to visit the gallery and we would like to thank you for your support with this project.

These pupils’ parents and carers decided to buy their art work to hang in their own galleries at home.

Strawberries

2 Comments

 

 

The pupils in Pr.3/4 have been working steadily through a Life Cycles Science theme and have hatched both chicks and salmon with great success. However they can’t watch these or follow them to the end of their cycle so we took advantage of the good weather and a donation from Homebase and planted strawberries. The pupils took the plants outside into the sunshine and potted them into bigger pots to allow them room to grow. Since then they have spent the last few days watering and caring for their new plants, making labelled diagram and flow charts. Today they took them home to ensure they survive Easter – hopefully not the frost predicted! We look forward to having strawberries to sample in June.

Salmon Leap into Kirkstyle !!!

Leave a comment
An Eggcellent view of 100 salmon eggs!
In go the eggs- all 100

Something fishy was going on in the GP Room this afternoon. A representative of Ayrshire Rivers Trust brought 100 salmon eggs for us to look after and study. Every day the pupils of Primaries 3 and 4 will study the eggs to see how they are developing. Eventually we hope to release our young alevins  into the River Irvine. Wish us luck!!

Day 9

Better than a chocolate egg!

 

I'm so excited.

Gently, gently.
Day 9 was the first time that we let the chicks spread their wings and have a flap around. The made loads of noise and one of the local Councillors Hugh Ross came to find out what all the commotion was about. The pupils completed their diaries and thought about the similarities between them growing up and their chickens.

 Callum Hazel said “They have all grown like us, no longer babies or toddlers but kids at school.”

Alix McAteer said “it’s been a great experience because I’ve never been this close to animals. I hope to get a pet when I’m 10.”

A proud Dad!
The smile says it all.

Day 8

The chicks returned to school on Monday and we were so happy to see them again.  We noticed that they had grown taller and were beginning to grow wing feathers. The are definitely much more active and chirpier now.

We love the chickens because they are gorgeous and beautiful. We love having the chickens in class because we can feed them and hold them. We love watching them too.

Today the children got the opportunity to hold the chicks and they learned how to handle them with care.  We made a chicken run in the middle of the room so the chickens had space to run around more and stretch their wings.

Day 5

Last two chicks have been moved from incubator to brooder box. We have one big happy family now. Although we’ve still had regular opportunities to observe our fluffy friends we’ve given them time to relax and get to know each other. Having our chicks has inspired us to start preparing for next Friday’s Spring Fayre. We have had some fabulous ideas all on a chicken theme! Keep checking our blog to find out what eggciting things are going to be happening at …..CHICKEN WORLD!!!

Watching you, watching me, watching you....
Let's cuddle up!

The chicks are not being left in the school for the weekend as it ‘s important that they get fresh food ,water and clean sawdust every day, so they’re off on holiday to meet Mrs Kirkwood’s family( but not the cats!)
