5.17 enjoyed consolidating their knowledge about language skills using new literacy games. We have been focusing on identifying and using nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in our reading and writing.
Police Scotland Visit
Police Scotland came to deliver a talk related to discrimination and hate crimes in the Eco garden. Johnny explained how serious these crimes were and the ways in which Police Scotland dealt with them. He very kindly answered all our questions about being a police officer too.
Orienteering fun
Who knew we would be complaining about it being too warm in mid September?! 🌞
We packed lots in this afternoon from fun number strategy games, to orienteering and mapping games and using special orienteering punches to mark our team card.
Orienteering games
What a strange day of weather we experienced today. We were fortunate that we managed to find a bright and mainly dry spell to get outside and enjoy learning and using our map reading and matching skills to play two new games.
Outdoor learning
What a mix of weather we experienced this afternoon! Beautiful sunshine to torrential rain in seconds!
We all had a great time playing some listening games then moving on to learn about creating maps. We need to do a little more work on planning before we start creating next time as we missed some important things out from our maps and got a little muddled with the different objects we were using. Its great knowing this is an area we need to work on and we will certainly focus on that next time 😊
Viking longships
Stem Fortnight (plus pancake day, a week late!😁)
Fantastic week of Stem visitors - including The Science Centre, RNLI, SSPCA, Dams to Darnley & Whitelee Windfarm. The children found the visits really engaging & asked interesting questions. We finished the week with a pancake treat 😋😘
Vikingar!
4.14 had a brilliant day out at Vikingar in Largs. We experienced life as a Viking – spending time in a longhouse learning about daily life & comparing it to our own. We were surprised they ate and drank some of the same things we do, 
but instead of a cup used a ram’s horn for drinking, loudly shouting “Skol!” We tried on helmets & clothes of a typical villager from the farmer & craftsman to the wealthy trader. We learnt about the history of battle of Largs which took place right across the road on the beach! It really brought the topic to life & the class would highly recommend 😍
4.14 have been problem solving mystery maths & started researching our exciting new Viking topic 🙂
Busy week in 4.14 with a fantastic story-telling assembly, a visit from Gregor’s mum to talk about electricity & some bridge engineering this afternoon. Great fun 😍
