P6/7 are enjoying learning about the effect fertilisers have when planting. We have made Bee and Butterfly Seed Bombs and are looking forward to discovering the results of our experiments. 🐝🦋
Week commencing 26th April 2021
We are buzzing this week about our new learning about some very important insects, bees. We are starting a mini topic investigation all about bees and have been asking the children about what they want to find out. Our learning will have a focus on or eco system and the importance of these busy bees. I have posted our plans for this week. Can I ask you to refrain from adding the smiley to your reading of home readers as it appears when you do this the book is no longer available for a second or subsequent read and the children should of course be revisiting the text every night. Any problems with on line access please let me know and I can send home a hard copy .
We continue to amazed at the adaptability of these young people and their appetite for learning. Keep up all the good ways you are encouraging them at home. The term is racing through , too fast for my liking as they put a smile on my face everyday.

Pupil of the Day – Friday 23rd April 2021
Our Pupil of the Day enjoyed receiving compliments from peers today. He certainly likes to have fun, especially when we are outdoors!
Preparations are underway for our Sponsored Skipathon!
Primary 6/7 have decided to raise funds in aid of the British Heart Foundation. We have been learning a range of different skips, using some very fancy footwork during our PE sessions! After our hard work practising in the sunshine this morning, we designed our advertising posters, continuing to enjoy the outdoors. We have included our key information on the posters, with information on how to sponsor being shared next week.
Primary 5-John Muir Award
This term Primary 5 will be working towards their John Muir Award. To achieve this award they need to spend 25 hours connection with, enjoying and caring for a wild place. Their wild place will be the Mote and Dalmellington. Our journey towards the John Muir Award will take place every Monday afternoon for the remainder of the school year. Therefore, can Primary 5 dress for an outdoor day on a Monday as well as a Thursday. P.E will continue to be on a Thursday. I will be posting pictures of our journey on my twitter page which is @MissDonnelly16 as well as on the Weekly Round Up!
Thanks
Miss Donnelly

Good to be back
It was lovely to see the excited enthusiastic faces raring to go today. Hard to believe we are in our last term of Primary 1. We had a busy day starting our new home reader ( which I have added on the Oxford Owl site) Flip frog and the bug. Our new sound is a-e and I have sent home a sheet for the children to practise their Fred Talk and speedy reading. As the weather was so lovely today we took our spelling outside amazing to see them working so hard and having fun. We shall be looking at money this term so now is the time to empty the piggy banks and start sorting the coins.
