A huge well done to this young boy in P2 for achieving the Endeavour Award this year for all his hard work in school which he was presented with at last week’s prize giving. He really has tried his best with his learning as well as in the playground. Super effort!

This week’s achievements have been updated. There has been a huge amount of wider achievements in class over the past couple of weeks and I am very proud of all the children.
Primary 2/3 have been busy bees in numeracy. They have been learning about data handling in class. They can use tally marks accurately and use their knowledge of counting in fives and counting on from a number to quickly count the total amount of tally marks.
They have now started learning about bar charts and pictograms. Yesterday, the pupils completed a variety of activities involving written work, technology and practical tasks. When completing their written task, they had to complete a bar chart to show the amount of sea creatures on their page. Using iPads, pupils played a game where they had to read information from a pictogram to answer questions. When completing a practical task, pupils were given a large selection of toy food. They had to discuss and agree as a group how they would sort out the food items. Some groups chose to sort them by colour and some sorted them by food group.Â
We also had a revision station, where pupils were encouraged to create and complete vertical addition calculations.

Primary 5/6 planned and led an orienteering challenge for the lower school. The class were split into teams with some P4/5 leaders in each team to help them. They had to find all the puzzle pieces to create an image. The first team to be successful were rewarded with 5 house points per pupil in their team.
Primary 2/3 enjoyed exploring the garden. They worked fantastic in groups to create their own mud kitchen masterpieces and duplo creations.
Primary 2/3 had great fun in the Hexagol as always thank you to the coaches from Kilmarnock Football Club’s Community Sports Trust. They ran off lots of energy.
We were lucky to have a parent helper in to discuss nutrition with the class. She discussed a balanced diet and the benefits of different nutrients for out bodies. Primary 2/3 pupils then created their own balanced meal and shared them with the class.
We started our morning off with a body scan meditation in class. This was followed by some delicious smoothie making. In groups, we agreed upon what fruit and fruit juice to include before mixing it all up in the blender. Every pupil tried their smoothie and most pupils loved their smoothie.
After break we participated in a karate session delivered by a Sensi from Senjokai Karate Academy in the PE hall. Sensi was amazing with the children and they had amazing fun from start to finish with lots of laughter and smiles. Every pupil has brought home a leaflet today in their bag in case they are interested in pursuing this further.
All pupils participated in a top secret positivity task – ask them what they have been up to!
After lunch we had a coach from Kilmarnock Rugby Club deliver a session focusing on passing and touch tackling through a range of games. Unfortunately the rain made an appearing after we had started our session and it poured down but this didn’t stop the children from enjoying the session. If any children are interested in joining in with training at Kilmarnock Rugby Club they can go along on a Wednesday night between 6:30 and 7:30.
