We managed one of our favourite warm-up games “Hoola Hoop Battle” before the downpour came! Fun and laughter.
We braved the rain as long as we could. Drookit!

P1 Fairyland
P1 had an amazing time this afternoon when taking part in a science experiment, making butter. The children guessed how they could make the butter, some predictions were:
- using milk and flour then cook
- salt in a tub and shake it
- putting cheese in the oven for 5 minutes
In two groups, pupils were given tubs with double cream which they had to shake as much as they could. This allowed the fat molecules to clump together and create butter and buttermilk. We put the butter in the fridge for 20 minutes and when it was ready, enjoyed it spread on a pancake.

P5 Dyslexia Awareness Week
This is Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland. We have been finding out what the challenges can be like for children and adults who have dyslexia.
The children tackled a decoding activity helping them understand the challenges faced by many dyslexic people with reading tasks. They were able to say how the activity made them feel and what they found difficult.
We watched video clips of children sharing their story of living with dyslexia and had an amazing discussion about how dyslexia is a learning ‘difference’ rather than a learning ‘difficulty’.
The children had fun trying to write a message with their non-dominant hand while standing up. Although we giggled a lot, they absolutely recognised how this might feel if copying from the board or a text was this difficult all the time.
Our activities were really valuable. Great job P5!
