The boys and girls in P2 finished the plans for their class Bug Hotel and some even made a model of it using lego while others made felt butterflies to decorate the Bug Hotel!
P1a enjoyed carrying out some gardening maintenance last week. Mrs Green helped groups of children to weed in the sensory garden whilst other children read books about plants and gardening and swept the garden.
Primary 5 have been learning about angles in the school garden. They enjoyed looking for right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles and reflex angles.
We also loved working with Hidden Gardens to help develop our school gardens this week. We learnt about crop rotation and how to sow seeds. Hopefully our courgette, squash, french beans and runner beans will grow soon!
As part of their garden topic, Primary 2 have began researching and planning the creation of a “Minibeast Sanctuary” in the school Sensory Garden. They know that encouraging insects and other small animals to the garden is good for the environment.
So far, the children have used the Internet to investigate different Bug Hotel designs and read about the sorts of materials that could be used for encouraging a range of wildlife. They have also drawn diagrams of how they would like the minibeast hide to look.
The boys and girls will scavenge for natural resources to make cosy crevices for the wildlife, although we would also appreciate donations of any of the resources listed below to help in the creation of the Bug Hotel.
Small plant pots, bamboo canes, clean bottles, some old building materials e.g bricks and drainage pipes. If you have any of these lying around your garden and would like to help us out, they would be much appreciated! 
We took advantage of the gorgeous weather to look for 2D shapes and 3D objects around the playground. Among the shapes and objects we found were square shapes (wooden posts and drains), rectangle shapes (windows), cuboid shape (container) and a sphere (football).
Today in P5 we were erupting our volcanoes that we made. We used diet coke and mentos in our science experiment to create an eruption. It was interesting to find out that diet irn bru worked better at making a big eruption rather than the diet coke. We had so much fun!

Primary 5 have loved learning about our new topic- The Rainforest and Deforestation. We enjoyed looking at the 4 layers of the Rainforest- the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory and the forest floor.
We have been making the most of the sunshine in PE. We worked together to measure how far we could jump in long jump. There are definitely some aspiring Olympic Athletes in the class!
Friday 18 March from 11.00am to 5.00pm the ‘Hidden Gardens’ will be working alongside some of our pupils to begin the clear up of our gardens in preparation for our planting and growing. If you can spare an hour or so please come along. Help us to improve your child’s learning environment.
Primary 5 have had a busy time at school learning new things and taking part in different opportunities.
In maths, we have been learning about division. We made the most of the sunshine and practised our sums outside.
We have also been looking at the artist Piet Mondrian. We created some of our own paintings in the style of his work and we listened to swing music whilst we painted, just as Piet Mondrian did!
We really enjoyed cooking our fairtrade breakfast in the learning kitchen. We made blueberry and banana breakfast muffins and they were delicious! We used as many fairtrade products from the Co-Operative as we could.
Can anyone help with our big clean up on Friday.
