More fun at Rouken Glen

We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a day of learning in the sunshine!

We met our park ranger for the day, Katy who took us to the park’s Wildlife Garden for some fun activities.

First, we looked for various natural materials in the garden including smooth leaves, something blue and even an insect! Katy helped us look around the garden just like a treasure hunt!

We then got to create our own smelly potions using materials found in the garden!

“I’m making a frog spawn potion. I put grass in it, smell it!'” Arthur

We loved playing the fun games at the end of our session with Katy. 

We enjoyed our lunch in the sunshine and then even got to have some fun in the play park before heading back to school!

Thank you so much to Katy and the staff at Rouken Glen for a fantastic day!

Treasure Hunt in our Outdoor Classroom

Primary 1 enjoyed outdoor learning day this week, where we went on an adventure in our outdoor classroom.

First we went on a treasure hunt, using binoculars and magnifying glasses to investigate our environment.

We then used our imaginations to create our own treasure maps of the playground!

  

‘We found house points at the end of our map!’ Jack

‘I found a clue!’ Cara

‘We’ve found the treasure!’ Finlay

‘We need to go through the river and that’s the castle right here’ Elliot

‘We need to go through pyramid town and then into the pyramid castle! Look house tokens!’ Rory

World Book Day 2019

Primary 1 had an amazing time celebrating World Book Day on Thursday. We came to school in our pjs and brought in our favourite bedtime story!

After break, Primary 7 came down to share a story with us and complete a range of fun activities linked to the stories!

We were also lucky enough to have Primary 4 come and share some stories that they had been writing!

Thank you to everyone who made our World Book Day one to remember!

More amazing Innovative Inventors

Primary 1 enjoyed completing their Innovative Inventors Homework Challenge this month. Here are some more examples of our excellent ideas!

‘This is the bin monster he eats all of the rubbish’ Callum

‘Sparkles is a robot that helps me clean’ Matilda

‘The fast tree grower helps to grow the trees really fast to make more trees’ Cara

We all loved creating our inventions and we displayed them in our open area where we then invited Primary 2 and 7 down to see our work!

Winter Trips to The Orry

Primary 1 enjoyed their trips to the Orry this week. We had a fantastic time exploring our community and observing seasonal changes from Autumn to Winter.

We used litter pickers to help to tidy up our community by collecting any rubbish that had been dropped in the park.

After the snow fell this week, we went on a snow hunt to discover how the weather has affected the Orry.

P1 enjoyed opportunities to work with P6 to create some transient art work using materials that they found.

We can’t wait to come back to the Orry in the Spring!
