Our class where led to believe that the council couldn’t cut the grass anymore so each class had been assigned an area of the playground to cut the grass with scissors. Their wee faces were a picture.
Using Numeracy Blueprint boards
We use these boards to help build on our mental maths strategies and to help us visualise maths strategies

Pupils created collages using a combination of chalk and natural materials they sourced themselves.

Today the pupils were learning to use a saw under close supervision. They loved cutting wood and took a keepsake home if they wished.

Tennis Festival
What an afternoon! The children from p4a and b had the pleasure of visiting St Luke’s High School today to take part in the primary 4 tennis festival. We took part in a number of different activities to develop our tennis skills and ball/racket handling! A huge thank you to the sport leaders and St Luke teachers for such a fun afternoon.
Bird Feeder
After weeks of hard work, the pupils finally got a chance to hang their bird feeders around the playground. What started off as a discussion about climate change, turned into research, designing, re-designing and being resourceful with recycled materials, to finally create these fantastic bird feeders. We’re looking forward to seeing them being used by the local wildlife.
Outdoor Classroom Day
Today is Outdoor Classroom Day so we had a jam-packed timetable full of fresh-air fun! This morning we headed outside to demonstrate our numeracy skills using natural materials and chalk. Then mid-morning we took part in a mini golf challenge with the loose parts with Primary 4a. Finally, we finished off this afternoon with some exercise and games in the back field. I think it’s safe to say, there will be a lot of tired pupils tonight 🙂
