Miss Coyle took us on a nature walk last week. We saw lots of trees and some moss and we heard the birds tweeting. We wrote letters to Mrs Crockett to tell her what we saw and heard on our walk. Well done to Tyler, Ainsley, Ellie and Eva who were our star writers.

Outdoor Clocks
We had fun drawing clocks in the playground today.
We had to put the numbers and the hands in the correct place on our analogue clocks then write the time in digital.
It was a little tricky!
Scottish Event 2017
The pupils and staff of Chapelgreen Primary gave a great performance today. They shared their learning about Scottish Literature, Songs and Poems. P1-3 demonstrated the skills they had been learning in music by using a variety of instruments to keep the beat to the Song “Coulter’s Candy”. P4/5 had a Burn’s Singing and Poetry Recital Competition and the winners received a huge round of applause. P6/7 had been writing poetry and learning about chants which they demonstrated most effectively. They also applied their learning to the context of “The Parable of the Sower” and used mime to share the message within this. Please take a look at some of the photographs from the presentation.
Our pupils wowed their audience by demonstrating their Scottish Dancing. P1-3 did a fantastic job of the “St Bernard’s Waltz”. While P4/5 showed us the ‘Toe and Heel’ step. Here is one of the chants from P6/7.

BEECH!
Congratulations to the pupils of Beech House for earning the most points last term. They chose to watch a movie and thanks to the Captain James Colangelo and Vice Captain Declan Haggerty, a poster was created for members of Beech House to sign up for their favourite movie! How To Train Your Dragon 2 was the most popular.
The pupils of Chapelgreen know how to make themselves comfy and brought in their pyjamas to relax on the crash mat, followed by some popcorn and drinks. A great time was had by all.
Hand Washing in Room 2
We have been learning all about germs and can tell about what germs do to our bodies and how we can stop germs spreading. We know that washing our hands can help stop the spreading of germs. We learned all the steps to wash your hands thoroughly.
Working Together at the Early Level
What an exciting morning Primary 1 and the Nursery children had today. Primary 1 visited the nursery to share with Mrs Henderson what they have been learning in Primary 1. The nursery children visited Room 2 to meet Mrs Crockett. They were able to show Mrs Crockett how they can write their names and recognise the numbers to 10. Well done! Thank you to the Primary 2 and 3 children who helped the nursery children.
