A big well done to all of P2 for completing fantastic science fair projects. All children were able to talk confidently about different science topics to children and adults across the school and also to our parents and families. Well done for all your hard work P2 and a big thankyou to everyone who came along to celebrate our very last Make Your Mark achievement.

Football Friday
As part of our make you mark experiences the pupils were taking part in team games.
P7 led a morning sessions of football activities for P2.
It was a great morning!
The P7s were so kind and supportive of the P2 pupils with motivational words and actions.
Science Fair
We are so excited to share all of the fabulous science projects everyone is bringing in for the Science Fair.
Parents are welcome to come along between 2:30 and 3:30.
Make Your Mark
As part of our Mark you Mark passport, we’ve been preparing and trying a simple recipe. We’ve been learning all about Oats. We’ve had a virtual visit to a farm in Stirling and seen the journey from seed to store. So we used Scottish Oats to make flapjacks.
We took turns to pour, weigh, stir, flatten and decorate.
Everyone had a taste and it was a thumbs up all round!
Laragh Library
Welcome to the Laragh Library.
P2 visited the new school library and choose their first loan. The books selected will be kept in school.
Parent and Pupil sessions for P1 and P2 have been arranged for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week. See emails for more details.
Forest school
Another wonderful day at the forest for P2. This week we worked on different knots as part of our Make Your mark achievements.
We were working on larksfoot, over hand and half stitch. Pupils worked in pairs to practise the knots.
Being able to tie a knot is a life long skill and everyone displayed resilience as they worked towards tying heir knots. Well done everyone!
Numeracy
We’ve been working on place value this week. One game involved partners making number using Dienes materials and their partner checking.
Forest school
This week we were working towards our Make you Mark achievement. Learning about lean to shelters. Pupils foraged for sticks to build a strong shelter than would keep their character safe and dry.
They worked in pairs and showed good team work, communicating, sharing and making decisions together.
Of course there was also plenty time for climbing and exploring. We also found a Fern root ball and the children were full of stories of mice, hedgehogs and other forest animals it looked like.
Foreat School returns!
P2 were over the moon to be back to school and back in the Forest this week. Together they explored the environment, visited Grandfather tree and set off for an adventure. They were straight to work climbing trees, making ‘concrete’, playing on the rope swing and of course looking for worms.
They work in teams to create, explore and climb, all topped off with a lovely singsong around the camp.
It was great to see how much everyone enjoyed the day and we are looking forward to next week.
Reading Buddies
Reading Buddies
Over the past term we’ve been meeting our Reading Buddies twice a week. For both P2 and P7 pupils, this is an opportunity to practise their reading skills such as fluency and expression.
P2 love working with the older pupils and hearing the stories that P7 like reading.
We will continue this over the next term.
