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.
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.
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.
We had a great time building and exploring materials with the loose parts. We worked with friends, sharing materials, talking and planning our builds and even compromising.
On Friday we went to the Glasgow Science Centre. We had a great day.

Robot Day was a little treat from the Digital Leaders.

During Book Week Scotland we went to Foundry to select books for our Borrow Basket. We selected Christmas tales, funny stories, fact books, novels and so much more. Some books we can read on our own whilst other books we will listen to others read for us.
We had a great time.
This week Primary two have been encouraged to share books which they enjoy. We listened to the stories two pupils brought in and both got a big thumbs up.
On Friday we received our Read, Write, Count book bags and took these home. Today we read The Perfect Fit. We were thinking about how our class community comes together.
We then used shapes around our class to show how every shape can be useful to make the perfect thing.
This week we’ve continued to work on developing turn taking in pairs. After finding with our tally partners we got a jigsaw to complete.
Jigsaws promote concentration, problem solving skills, fine motor skills and awareness of context clues. When completing a puzzle with a partner, pupils develop communication skills, turn taking and whilst working towards a shared goal.
We had the treat of having the digital leaders come to share their knowledge and expertise. As a team we made short stop motion videos.
It was great to see older pupils displaying patience and responsibility whilst leading the learning of Primary 2.
