This year the nursery has worked to enhance out home links within a range of curricular areas. During the past week, Mrs Cumming has been presenting a workshop on developing skills in literacy at home, with a particular focus on the use of nursery rhymes. Parents in the nursery have now received a home link folder containing a wide selection of nursery rhymes for them to use with their child. Below you can see a selection of photographs showing what took place.
Primary four have been learning about the parts of the mosque and used resources we have in the class to design their own. Don’t they look great?
P4 have started their new interdisciplinary focus “Whose Water, Whose Power?” It involves using a global storyline and will incorporate lots of drama which the children are very excited about.
So far, we have discussed what a community means to us, and differentiated between needs and wants. The discussions were great and I was one impressed teacher. Looking forward to all of the learning yet to take place.
First we sorted the needs and wants under two headings.
Then we ranked them from most important to least important. This was really hard!
P1/2 have been getting to know their new active literacy tasks and resources and had great fun consolidating their learning with them. They also wrote some special messages for Miss Smyth.
Primary 7 are visiting Sky Academy tomorrow to take part in the ‘Skills Studio Journey.’ They will focus on Social Networking. The children will be given opportunities to develop skills such as, creativity, problem solving, communication, teamwork and self-management by producing their very own news report.
On our walk to the site we went on a number hunt and discovered lots of numbers everywhere. They were on doors, car number plates, road signs and street signs. We got a big surprise when we went into the woods as there were lots of numbers hanging from the trees! When we took them down we all worked together to place them in the correct order.
We were also very busy making super masks using lots of leaves. Mrs Mair was very impressed as we worked well together, sharing the glue and the leaves which we had collected. Our masks looked super! They made us look like owls…..Twit twoo! Twit twoo! Twit twoo!
Do you like our Woodland Christmas Tree? We had lots of fun decorating it with baubles and tinsel. It looked beautiful and really sparkly. Merry Christmas everyone!!
From the angels, to the snowflakes, to the narrators and the children in the nativity group, all our nursery children did a fantastic job today during their performance. Their singing and actions were really good and all the nursery staff are delighted with how well they did. Here are some actions shots from during the performance.
Primary 7 are well under way preparing for their Christmas Enterprise tomorrow. We are having a ‘Christmas Coffee Morning’ for the elderly in the village. We will serve cakes, biscuits, tea and coffee. We will also have free raffles, (some fantastic hampers to be won) and a few games of BINGO… We can’t wait to spread Christmas Cheer!!! 🙂
