Welcome Back

Hello from a very happy classroom. Primary C have been super enthusiastic and eager to explore as we get settled into our new routine. This week has been all about discovery. We have enjoyed time getting to know each other, as well as familiarising with some of our firm favourites. We enjoyed textured sensory play, lights, music and Rebound therapy. Mr Potato Head came too. Wonder what he’s doing there?! Could he be IDL related? Find out more next week.

So great to be back with our wonderful pupils. Full steam ahead!

Warmest wishes from the staff team.

Black Swan Search & The Great Outdoors

Leave a reply

Primary C have been searching for the legendary local Black swan….sadly we haven’t managed to catch up with it yet but we are keeping our eyes peeled when out and about. We spent time down at Irvine beach hoping to catch a glimpse, we did spot some interesting birds on our way. As its summer time we have been planting and keeping our outdoor area clean and tidy. The Eco school committee set us a challenge and we readily accepted.

After all of our hard work we used the SMART board to design our very own garden. Lots of beautiful birds and plants to enjoy. The children really enjoyed making choices and being creative.

We hope to see everyone at out Garden Fayre tomorrow morning. Lots of surprises from our hard working team. Watch this space…….
