As part of our topic learning about Australia we explored Aboriginal designs and symbols. Matilda brought in her didgeridoo and an Australian hat. We also read the Australian story The Missing Bilbies as part of World Book Day and explored Australian animals.
Well done to our Scottish poetry finalists and winner. Fantastic performances.
We braved the elements to go outside and participate in the RSPB big bird watch. There were a variety of different birds and it was interesting to watch their movements and behaviour.
As part of our Social Studies topic, Scotland, we explored the production of oats from field to bowl then we made some delicious Scottish porridge 🏴
We are focusing on learning times tables. We are doing this through the exploration of arrays, sequencing, recall of facts and modelling the times tables.
Tomorrow the children are welcome to bring a blanket and a toy. We are going to watch That Christmas which is rated PG. Please email Gayle.eccleston@eastayrshire.org.uk if you would prefer your child not to see the film.
Thank you
Mrs Eccleston

As part of our learning about procedural writing we followed a recipe to make cakes. We also used our numeracy skills to weigh and measure.
P4/5 enjoyed performing the songs they had learnt at the Christmas Fayre.
In literacy we have been learning to create pieces of procedural writing and this week we focused on a recipe for a jam sandwich.
