It’s hard to believe that it’s the last day of term 4, it’s been a very quick year. Have a great summer holiday everyone!

Well done to the P2/3 pupils who performed in Catrine’s Got Talent this morning. We had singing, dancing, football skills and funny jokes. You were all very brave to stand up and perform in front of the whole school.

Congratulations to Poppy who came in 2nd place with her beautiful singing!

Primary 2/3 had a great school trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park yesterday.

We had lots of fun playing on the pirate ship, bouncy pillows and trampolines. We got to see lots of amazing animals, had a picnic lunch outside and enjoyed the indoor play area. We finished off the day with some ringo sledging!

What a fantastic day we all had!

It has been a busy week with Sports Day, Prize Giving and the House Reward Party all taking place.

We were so glad that it stayed dry on Tuesday for us to have our Sports Day at the park.

Well done to everyone for giving it your all in your races, you did an awesome job!

Harley was the winner of a Ruby Reward ticket today and chose Cole to sit with him at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Harley!

It’s hard to believe that next week is the final week of this school year! We have our class ‘Yes Day’ and our trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park to look forward to.

Have a great weekend!

We have been taking part in lots of fun activities for Health Week this week. We started off the week with some line dancing with Miss Brown on Monday.

On Tuesday we had a silent disco in the morning and then played laser tag in the afternoon. It was so much fun!

On Wednesday we got to practise our football skills with Kilmarnock Football Club.

On Thursday the P6 pupils organised great circuits stations for us in the gym hall.

We were so disappointed that the weather was not on our side for Sports Day today. We are looking forward to wearing our house colours and taking part in our races on Tuesday.

This week in P2/3 we have been learning to tell the time on digital and analogue clocks in maths.

In literacy we have been writing letters to persuade Mrs Govans to let our class have a ‘yes day’! Do you think she will let us?

We have been learning about the artist Wassily Kandinsky in art and have created abstract paintings in the style of Kandinsky.

We have been practising our races for Sports Day and doing some yoga in P.E. this week.

Well done to Alfie who won this super medal at a rugby tournament.

Shaun enjoyed his lunch at the Ruby Reward Table today as he was chosen to sit with Jaxson in P1.

It has been a short but busy week in P2/3!

This week we have started to work on time in maths. We have been learning to order the days of the week and months of the year.

In literacy we have been continuing our work on persuasive writing. We have been thinking about the jobs that we would like to do when we are older and and have been writing job application forms.

We have been identifying different types of technology that we use and that make a difference to us in our everyday lives. We have been thinking about our favourite pieces of technology.

We enjoyed a lovely walk to the Voes to see the ducks.

Cole was chosen to sit at the Ruby Reward Table today by Harris in P1. What a treat!

A massive well done to Primary 2/3 for their fantastic class talks this week. You all did an amazing job and should be very proud of yourselves. I loved hearing about what you would all like to be when you grow up!

We have also been taking part in ‘Walk to School Week’ this week and have enjoyed walking to school with a different theme each day. We have walked to school wearing odd socks, crazy hair, with a friend or family member, dressed down and thinking about the ways we can improve our community. Here are the ways in which P2/3 think we could improve our community:

Matthew – litter picking and being kind to new pupils

Layla – making the park better for disabled people, more flowers and trees

Quinn – saving electricity

Poppy – putting rubbish in the bin

Alfie – less dog poo

Have a lovely long weekend!

This week in P2/3 we have been continuing to work on fractions in maths and have been working on the reading strategy ‘visualisation’ in literacy. We have been learning to mix primary colours to make secondary colours in art and have also been learning about parts of our bodies.

It has been digital learning week and we have been learning about online safety. We made posters to encourage people to stay safe when using the internet.

We took a walk to the park on Wednesday afternoon and found that there was lots of rubbish. Mrs McKenna and Mrs Watt did some litter picking and left it looking so much better.

We put up some of the persuasive posters we made last week and we hope that they will encourage people to put their rubbish in the bin.

Harley was the winner of a Ruby Reward ticket this week and chose Quinn to sit with him at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Harley!
