Primary 7 working at the carwash!!!
Primary 7 had a fantastic day working at the carwash as part of our whole school fundraising day. We managed to raise just over £170 from the car wash alone. Thanks to everyone who helped, donated or came along to get their cars washed. It is always greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures of P7 in full swing…

Primary 5 Fundraising Activty Day Challenges – Beat the Goalie
Woodland Explorers
Group 3 – Week 4
We participated in lots of role-play this week as we pretended to be animals. Mrs Leopard pounced and Mrs Horsey galloped down to the woods. Mrs Leopard thought it would be a good idea to make a special den for her and Mrs Horsey. We worked together using a range of resources to create a wonderful den. Have a look at the photos. What do you think of it? It was so comfy that Mrs Leopard didn’t want to come out of it! She even made a camp fire in it to keep her paws warm.
We were also busy making a gate for the main den. We gathered lots of big sticks and stacked them on top of each other to make it high. Some of the sticks were even taller than us!
We learned how to use a rubber mallet safely and used it to tap tent pegs into the ground.

Group 2 – Week 3
This week we had the opportunity to use a special tool called a rubber mallet. We learned how to use it safely as we tapped tent pegs into the ground. Once the pegs were all in we worked together to wrap/tie ribbons around them to make a giant spiders web. It looked very colourful. Have a look at our photo……….what do you think of it?
We were also busy making tree rubbings of our favourite trees. Some of them felt smooth and some were very bumpy.
Using the iPad we took turns to take photos of our friends as they played. We all looked very happy in them. Can you guess which photos we have taken?
P2/3 and 4 Zumba.
Our Rhyme Adventures
Rhymes in Nursery
One of the rhymes we have been having fun learning is called Friends are Special.
We have been great at remembering the words and like the tune, it’s Frere Jacques. Below are some pictures of us singing this simple song to our friends. A huge thank you from Mrs Cumming for spending time working on this at home, all staff have remarked at the growing confidence in our learners whilst performing to others.
Learning at Home – What you have been busy doing
We are delighted to hear about the settings that have been created at home with fuzzy felts and also that some of you have been researching the web for other rhymes that interest your child such as ponies and horses. Please let us know if you would like some websites or apps to try. We would also like you to share your great ideas with us too.
Using rhyme props at home is a great idea, you can use your own toys to act out rhymes like 5 Currant Buns or 5 Wee Monkeys. A big thank you to those who have printed out some photos for your child to inspire others to try this fun rhyme too. Mrs Cumming was delighted to see what fun you had.
Here is a little ghost that met Mrs White in our rhyme book we loved hearing you sing it for us, during Show and Tell we also loved listening to Horsey Horsey. A lovely highland cow visited us and we watched a super performance of Old McDonald, Well Done! We found a lovely setting of green grass for the horses you brought in. We awarded special rhyme achievement stickers today as we are proud of you.
We also enjoyed hearing your favourite childhood book memories during World Book Day. As adults the warm memories that you shared were really great. Thank You. It was great to hear that Meggie Moon was a nursery favourite for other children now at school. We have been using our imaginations to create models just like Meggie Moon here are some for you to look at.
