Sport Day – Wow what a fun morning we had!
Well done to all the participants, everyone tried there best and enjoyed the activities arranged by Miss Kelly and our active sport coordinator Ryan.
Hyacinth update
After planting our bulbs back in October, our bulbs have grown and are nearly ready to blossom.
It is likely the hyacinths will open during the holidays so pupils will be taking them home before the end of term.
As part of this process we’ve been learning how to look after plants but also recognising the role we have in nurturing the world around us!
Christmas Dinner
Primary 2b loved their Christmas dinner. It was delicious meal and served by our fabulous lunch ladies and an oddly familiar elf! Â Our Christmas meal was very special.
PE fitness
Today Ryan led a special Santa themed session where children practised gross motor skills. Children were well engaged and worked hard to achieve targets.
Our PE days continue to be a Wednesday and Friday. Pupils in full PE kits earn house points. All sessions are outdoors.
Throwing skills
Over the last few weeks we have been practising throwing and catching skills.
PE will remain outdoors and continues to be every Wednesday and Friday.
Dyslexia Awareness Week
This week is Dyslexia Awareness week. We found out that dyslexia impacts 1 in 10 people.
We will also receive blue ribbons to show awareness.

Planting
During assembly Mr Hutcheson spoke about the meaning of nurture.
Inspired by this Primary 2 planted flowers which we will be growing in the classroom over the next few weeks. We will be learning how to look after plants and what they need. In RE we have been looking at the natural beauty in the world around us and growing our beautiful flowers will help us to remember this.
Throwing and Catching skills
Week beginning 7th September
In PE this week we have been working on throwing and catching skills.
On Friday afternoon as our Golden time activity we used balloons to practise throwing and catching skills. The children loved it. Also it was a great way to reuse Mrs Carwood’s balloons.
