Our P3 pupils have had a visit from ‘Try’atops the Growth Mindset dinosaur.
Tryatops has been encouraging the pupils to develop a positive attitude towards learning and to understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process.
Pupils are learning the importance of the word ‘YET’. Instead of saying “I can’t do it” we should say “I can’t do it YET”.
We want all pupils to feel comfortable and happy in their learning environment.
Over the next few weeks during our Health and Wellbeing lessons we will be facing some challenges and showing how determined we are to succeed.
P3W pupils chose a motivational phrase to write on the classroom pencils.
Last week children enjoyed our Water Fun Day and yesterday we all went down to the Dean Park to hide our decorated rocks. If you are at the Dean Park over the Summer holidays you may be able to find some of our rocks! #onthankrocks
The rock painting craze is taking over at the moment. Mrs Carten’s class have painted some rocks for Whiteley’s Retreat Rock Garden just outside Ayr. Whiteley’s Retreat is a holiday home for children, young people and their families who have cancer or other life altering illnesses. The rocks will be delivered to Whiteley’s on the 16th June.
If anyone wishes to donate decorated rocks they can bring them to Mrs Carten’s classroom before 15th June. All rocks should be bright, cheery and uplifting. Thank you.
P3 had a fantastic trip to Ayr Farm Park today. The sun was shining and the children got to see lots of animals and play on all of the different apparatus. Thank you to all of our parent helpers who also came along!
Well done to Callum Walton who received our Depute Head Teacher’s Award this week. He was a responsible individual who supported his mum during an emergency situation at home. Well done!
Primary 3 had a very special visitor today – a Viking!
He told us all about Viking life and about being a Beserker! Some children were allowed to try out his shield and weapons. Mrs Easter even tried to attack him with his own sword. It was really fascinating and brought our Viking topic to life.
Primary 3 pupils invited parents and carers to come and dine with us.
We got the chance to talk to many of you during our ‘Come Dine with Us’. We were able to discuss a variety of topics and were delighted that many parents offered their time to work with us to improve our school. Please look out for the opportunity to volunteer with our 60 minute make-overs.
If you are a Primary 3 parent please give us feedback below –
P3E have been making Viking tunics today using pillowcases. When they are working on their Viking topic they are all going to be wearing their tunics – even Mrs Easter!
Take a look at some photos of our day out to Dean Park where we were Nature Detectives, looking for animal tracks and signs of spring as our trip out coincided with the first day of spring.
We also tried out the new park facilities at Dean Park and gave them a big thumbs up. Especially the slide which was really speedy.
