CD loved the engine with it’s flashing blue lights.
CR was very happy to try on a helmet and clean the Fire Engine using a hose.
HS explored every aspect of the Fire Engine and was excited to be able to sit in the Fire Engine.
LH was very interested in the different tools used.
Primary A and Primary B went to visit Ardrossan Community Fire Station and met with the wonderful Fire Fighters on shift. They were very helpful and gave our classes opportunities to explore different areas of the Engine and to see and touch the different tools they need. We were lucky to see the emergency lights and to hear the Sirens which were very loud. But we loved it all. We had a great time exploring and everyone particularly loved using the hose.
Thank you to everyone at Ardrossan Fire Station for having us.
We hope you all have a lovely October holiday.
Love from Primary A
A bonus post this week as it’s the October Holidays next week! This week during our Action in the Community walk. Our challenge was to catch autumn leaves from under the trees and to gather them from the ground.

This week Primary A & B combined together to visit Ardrossan Fire Station. The children were very excited on the way there as we saw boat, buses, trains and even a helicopter! The fire fighters were fantastic and showed us around the engines and let us explore all the equipment. They even let us play with the hoses and spray water everywhere. Harry from Primary A made a rainbow!

Primary C were out and about in Oor Toon as part of their topic. Looked at the local shops, went for snack and stopped off at the swings before heading back to school. A great time was had by all.
This week in Primary A we have been preparing for our Christmas enterprise fundraiser. Our class idea is to create a “Sensory Elf on a Christmas Shelf”. Look out for the letters being sent home with order forms. Once completed they are to be returned to Primary A no later than Oct 27th.
The children helped us choose the materials and the packs are made with our fabulous pupils in mind. Supporting visuals will be inside the packs alongside 24 suggested activities to help bring the seasonal fun!
Here is how your elf and contents will look. He really does come with everything you will need to get started!
This picture is how your elf will be packaged when winging his way to your home
We have signed up to be pledge number 10 in line with the “Friends of James McFarlane” initiative so rest assured that every penny spent on elves…goes straight back into the school.
We decided to choose our Elf name by using objects of reference. Our objects were class favourites that we encounter in our daily routines. The votes are in: Meet Mr Bubbles!!
We are gearing up for another busy week before our half term holiday so keep hour eyes peeled for more news.
Warmest Wishes from all in Primary A
This week, Primary B have explored different ways of being active. We had great fun creating artwork for our topic ‘Oor Town’, we used the former explosives factory in Stevenston as an inspiration for making Exploding Balloon pictures. We covered balloons in paint and popped them with a pencil – it got very messy! We also made our own active volcanoes in science and enjoyed watching the lava flow. Harry has made fantastic progress being active on his bike this week and went zooming around the school cycle track!

Hi Everyone
Primary A and D ended the week with a successful visit to Stanley Primary’s Macmillan Coffee Morning. We enjoyed the warm welcome received along with the delicious cakes and refreshments.
The children had a fabulous morning and all for a great cause.
Thanks to our buddies – it was fun catching up from last year.
Best wishes
This week Primary B mixed our paint with different spices to make textured and aromatic paint, our classroom smelt like a spice shop! We used lots of autumn colours and next week when we Access the Community we are going to collect leaves to create a collage.

Primary D had an excellent afternoon exploring circles. We took our hunt outside and were surprised about how many circles we found. The pupils had a great time as you can see from our photographs.
