Dalrymple P6 21-22

Primary 6 and 7 had an amazing day at Culzean Castle. They worked with a ranger to identify different trees using their leaves and went on a mini beast hunt. They also had some time to enjoy the park thanks to the beautiful weather!

Primary 6 had a wonderful afternoon celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. There were lots of fun activities such as classic cars, bowls, games, bouncy castle and even a singer!

Primary 6 had a fantastic time at sports day and all tried their very best in every race! It was amazing to be able to have a little bit of normal again after the last two years. Well done to all children and adults to competed.

Primary 6 had a fantastic time building a bird box in groups. We hope to put some in the community as well as the school as part of the conservation part of the John Muir Award.

Primary 6 spent the afternoon in the woods with Kate again but this time they whittled some characters and built a shelter! Their team work was excellent and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

Following on from last week with Kate, primary 6 and 7 spent the morning at the burn, dipping to see what beasties we could find. They had to then identify them using a key.

Primary 6 brought in items from home so we could set up a scene to be drawn by each child. Due to our new seating arrangement, each child saw the scene from a different perspective.

On Thursday, primary 6 were able to work with Kate, who is a countryside coordinator with East Ayrshire, to explore the life within our ponds in the park. They were able to then identify what was found. Next week we hope to visit the burn to carry out our own pond dip!

Before the Easter Holidays, Primary 6 spent another day cooking. This time, we made lentil soup! Watch the video below to find out how to make this at home!

Since we had a beautiful day, primary 6 went to the river this afternoon to make sketches.
