We sorted pictures into what we needed to live safely and those things we would really like but can easily live without. It was not an easy decision at times!
We had a lovely walk to the Dick Institute then the Kay Park where we saw the swans and cygnets.

We had a good week using many types of digital technology. We used the I Pad to take directed photographs in the garden and played many games and activities on the Promethean Board. We talked about many changes in technology, made tasty smoothies using a switch and watched a story using a QR code. We had fun using beebots with Miss Smith and making a telephone from paper cups and string (it really worked!) and compared it with today’s handsets and mobiles. Gaming safety was discussed and not to share information. We used technology to cross the road on our outing when we used the pelican crossing.

We had a lovely outing to Kay Park where we enjoyed a sociable snack and played at the play park. We met the Beech class then fed the ducks. In the afternoon we had fun activities, with the upper primary, in the playground.
The Stars class made a recycling poster and discussed how we can recycle at home. We decorated a canvas bag so that we can use it every time we go on outings to save using throw away plastic bags. On a supermarket outing we recycled used batteries from the school.
The Stars class were pleased to be back at school after the February break. We enjoyed Valentine’s Day activities and looked for Fairtrade produce at Morrisons. We also recycled batteries too!
Pupils from the Stars class visited the Dick Institute today. We chose books to read and enjoyed a lovely sociable snack in the cafe.
Some of the Stars class pupils visited the Dick Institute today. We chose then read a book, coloured in, then enjoyed snack in the café. We all had a lovely time.
The Stars Class enjoyed a visit to The Garage where we played a fun filled game of 10 Pin bowling. We even managed a few strikes!
The Stars class invited the Sungazers class for a golden ticket treasure hunt. As it was raining we had to have it indoors but nevertheless we had a fun time. We made tasty chocolate crispie cake to serve for snack.
We had our second visit to CC’s Chocolate Creations where owner Carol warmly welcomed us. We saw all the chocolate creations she’d made and enjoyed dipping marshmallows in melted chocolate. Yum! We used our new eco bag when shopping.
The Stars class visited CC’s Chocolate Creations in Kilmarnock to watch the owner, Carol, make fantastic chocolate bars and shapes. Carol invited us to dip marshmallows in melted chocolate. They smelled and tasted delicious. As Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is our theme this term we bought not a golden ticket but a golden bar of chocolate for class. Yum! The rest of the class will visit CC’s Chocolate Creations on our next allocated bus day.
