P6/7 enjoyed a nature walk around the village. A big thanks to Mr and Mrs Carter for leading the walk.
Nature Walk
Primary 1 Transition – Numeracy
It was lovely to have our nursery children back into the classroom for another visit. Today we were exploring numbers and shapes and were practising using the computer mouse. This was very tricky!
ROOM 2 – FARM VISIT
We visited Cairnfold Farm as part of our topic. We learned lots about how to look after animals, what they eat and what food we get from them. We loved seeing the animals and even got to touch and feed them. It was a great morning. Thank you Mrs Duncan!

Thank you to all who came and supported the children.
HEALTHY SCHOOL WEEK – FOOD TASTING
Room 2 have been tasting a variety of different foods as part of healthy school week. The children tasted a selection of cheeses, wholemeal breads, salad leaves and fruit. The children who were very daring even tried the sardines and loved them! Well done to everyone for taking part and trying new things!
HEALTHY SCHOOL WEEK – BADMINTON
We enjoyed playing badminton today as part of Healthy School Week. We learned how to hold the raquet and hit the shuttlecock. We even tried to pass it over the net. Some children managed to complete 4 consecutive passes! Well done room 2!
Healthy School Week – Tooth Brushing Experiment
We took part in a tooth brushing experiment! We used disclosure tablets to show the plaque on our teeth. Then we brushed our teeth focusing on the parts that had plaque on them. We were given a ‘GREEN for GREAT’ award from Cathy our school dental nurse!
Room 2 Numicon Number
We have been using Numicon materials to help us with our calculations. The Numicon helps us to see what the numbers look like. Primary 1 have been creating addition and subtraction calculations and Primary 2 and 3 have been using the Numicon materials to create multiplication calculations. We found our number work fun today!
