We have recieved our certificate from the RSPB to say that our class took part in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch.
We submitted our results and have now added to the data for the whole of the UK.
What a great way to demonstrate that we care about our environment, that we take care of our wildlife and that we are Responsibe Citizens 🙂

P5/6 have been developing their skills in hockey. Â We practised our grip, our aim and passing and stopping to others.
Today we used a variety of skills to complete a maths teamwork task with Miss Murphy.
We had to follow instructions, plan, measure, cut and work as a team to create our own 100 square grid.
We then used mathematical language to direct each other to place objects on the correct square on our grids.
We used the terms – 90 degree turn, 180 degree turn, 270 degree turn and 360 degree turn, clockwise and anticlockwise.
Today we went outdoors to enjoy some fresh air and connect with nature. We discussed the benefits of being outdoors to make us feel happy, relaxed and calm.
We took part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Using our bird identification sheet we counted the birds that we saw in our playground. We were pleased to see robins, blue tits, crows, jackdaws, pigeons and we even spotted 2 chaffinches hiding in a tree.
We also learned how to identify birds by their calls when we came back to class. We used the dawn chorus “music” to listen to, while we drew and labelled what we had seen.
Amelia – “being close to animals and nature is good for your wellbeing”
Callum O – ” I enjoy fresh air and learning outdoors to improve my wellbeing”
Primary 5/6 participated in great discussions today about different scenarios that we may experience when using the internet, using chat forums and online gaming and what we should and should not do in each scenario.
Our Digital leaders also shared East Ayrshire’s Top Ten Tips for staying safe online.  These tips will be displayed in the classroom and discussed regularly.
As part of their Scottish Wars of Independence topic, P5/6 were tasked with creating a Scottish War dance. Â We had lots of fun and definitely have a few budding choreographers in the class!
P5/6 were challenged with creating bows and arrows from Knex and then using a protractor to measure the angles.
