Outdoor Learning Club
The Outdoor Learning Club were busy at their last session of 2024. Their challenge was to work as a team, building a huge den they could all fit in. They used their imagination and worked so well as a team. They used bamboo sticks to hold it up and even built a campfire. Then we had hot chocolates to heat us up from the winter weather!

Primary 3 – Spelling
Ms McMullan’s Primary 3 group took their phonics learning outdoors yesterday (4th Nov) to practise spelling words with the grapheme ‘ff’. They first sounded out the phonemes to break the word down, then blended them together to check they have spelt the word correctly and checked their partner’s spelling. After this, they drew bubbles around the word shape to practise ‘shape spelling’. Primary 3 all said they enjoyed learning outdoors.
