Thank you so much to the Parent Council for our movie afternoon and our movie snacks!

P2 will be putting on a French tuck shop for P1 and P2 on Monday for French day. Children are welcome to bring 50p to school to buy from the tuck shop at playtime. Merci!

 

P1b didn’t let sports day being cancelled get them down! We had some races in the hall this morning…

And then we went outside to play before the rain came on!

Some wonderful child led learning has been going on in P1b this morning!

Amelia, Millie and Monroe have been using the cubes to make their names. They have been counting out the cubes that they need for the sides of each letter and making sure that they are equal. They have been sharing out cubes between them and supporting each other in creating the shapes that they need!

Harry and Jason have been working together to use the Lego to create an amazing Batman cave!

Lauren and Logan have been talking about recycling and they have been role playing collecting rubbish for the dump and separating it into the correct categories.

Chloe set up a colouring club and she invited other children to come and make patterns with her using different colours and shapes. Dylan came to work with her and together they were very crafty!

Millie and Sienna have been collecting, counting and ordering the keys.

Ben was pretending to be Allan’s pet tortoise! Allan found a carrot to feed him because Ben told him that tortoises are vegetarian so he couldn’t eat any meat!

Cieran and Ruan made lots of lovely St Mark’s memories for Mrs Fitzsimmons to take with her to her new school!

Eilidh and Aspen-Hope made a lovely picture for Eilidh’s dad who isn’t feeling very well. We hope he feels better soon!

Jamie, Libby, Ben and Allan made up an alphabet game to play together. They passed the apple around and had to say the right letter of the alphabet. What a tricky game!

Liam drew around and decorated his hand in different patterns and Hannah was very crafty and made some beautiful love hearts to frame her picture!

What a busy and productive morning in P1!

Well today marked our very first St Mark’s Bookbug session! Bookbug Bootcamp combined lots of songs, rhymes and a story with exercise and we loved it! We were luck enough to have an extra special guest as our session today, Bookbug came to join in the fun which was so exciting! Thank you so much to all of Primary 1 and 2 and their teachers and of course thank you so much to the families who came to join us, your support and your feedback is hugely appreciated!

What a busy day P1b had! This morning we made fruit kebabs with the ladies from the lunch hall. We got the chance to try lots of different fruit, including kiwi, pineapple, grapes, tangerines, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and mango!

 

Today Primary 1b used Stop Motion on the iPads to create their own stories! We were so impressed by these for a first attempt! Well done everyone!

Well done to the Primary 1 representatives at STEMfest today! What a great morning we had hunting for minibeasts, making bubbles and using lots of different tools to make sound! Thank you to Mrs Guy for organising for us to be able to go!

What a beautiful day for our school trip to Rouken Glen part today! We had great fun walking through the woods, feeding the ducks and playing in the park. Thank you so much to our lovely parent helpers for all of their support!

Well done Harry on winning bring it to win it today!
