The children had expressed an interest in rainbows. This week we have used STEAM to carry out rainbow experiments and we have used our creative skills to make our own rainbows 🌈

This week the children decided, as we had a lot of over ripened bananas, to make banana loaf! As always we had to measure out ingredients, mash, mix and cook!

Our home corner has been transformed into a Primary 1 classroom and we have been very busy playing and working in this new area.  Some resources from Primary 1 classes have been placed in here in order that they are familiar for those starting school in August.

There is definitely a change in the temperature but it has not stopped the fun and learning outdoors.

A huge thank you to Mr Winston for giving up his weekend to repaint our climbing frame and friends bench. The children and staff love the new colours and it has smartened up our garden. Thank you!

We had a very busy day in the woods today. The children were all involved in risk assessing, spotting dangers, highlighting litter to be collected and looking for low level branches. We found a spoon and a bear in the woods and the children then built a house for the bear and engaged in story telling. Bug hunting was also very popular, lots of great vocabulary  and imagination shared to describe what they had found.

Today in the school kitchen we made Raspberry and Oat Muffins and Fruit Kebabs. We had to use the scales to weigh out quantities and chop, mix and spoon mixture to be cooked. We threaded our chosen fruit onto kebab sticks and enjoyed our healthy snack 💛

We were invited to P4:14 to see the wonderful gardens the children had designed and made in shoe boxes. The nursery children were given tokens to vote for their favourite. They were all outstanding but here a small selection of some of our favourites. Well done P4.14!

We had great fun outside using mud and fly swats to create our ‘muddy’ masterpiece! 💛
