You may have noticed that some ‘new’ bins have recently appeared in our lunch hall?…. The Eco Heroes have decided to take steps towards helping minimise the amount of food being wasted in our school by encouraging everyone at Balornock to put on their Eco thinking caps when clearing up after they have eaten! We now have three separate bins in our lunch hall and would encourage everyone to use accordingly.
The boys and girls in Primary 1a have been learning all about city and island life as part of their Social Studies topic this term. We have been exploring island life using digital learning e.g maps, videos, photographs and also through the context of Katie Morag stories. Our home learning project was to build a model or make a picture of the different landmarks on the Isle of Struay. Here
The boys and girls returned to school on Thursday after their midterm break. Although it was only a two day week, we were very busy growing our brains in school! We have been continuing to learn about subtraction and have been using pictures to represent our sums in order to calculate the answers. “We can use our fingers to work out the answers!” said Alicia. “9-9=0 and 2-1=1” said Leon. “Take away means
It has been yet another jam packed week of learning at Balornock! Here are some photographs that capture some of the highlights of our busy week…. We read a story called ‘Jenny and the Bear’ which taught us a little bit about the dangers of second hand smoke.

Yesterday, our class bear Bloom celebrated turning age 6…Happy Birthday Bloom! Bloom asked us for some help; “He asked us if we could help him design some cupcakes for his birthday party!” said Leon. We all agreed that we would be more than happy to do that for him. However, Bloom gave us some very special instructions to follow; We had to make the design symmetrical. “That means they have to be
The boys and girls in Primary 1a LOVE to read. This week, we were delivered our very own newspapers and we used the opportunity to search for environmental print, common words, phonetic words and even attempt some ‘Have a Go’ reading. Look at how much fun we had…

Here is a sneaky peek at our week…. “I liked adding the counters!” said Adam. “I liked making my own tartan!” said Madison. “I liked when Mrs Woolfries came in and read Room on the Broom!” said Georgia.
This week, the boys and girls took part in an Eco competition. We had to design stickers for ‘Clean Up Scotland’ to help them say thank you to all the volunteers who are helping to keep Scotland beautiful. The winning design will be made into stickers which will be included in the ‘Clean Up’ kits that are used. Thank you to all the classes that took part this week and good luck to everyone!
