We are hosting an Active Literacy Workshop on Wednesday 16th November at 9.30am and 6.30pm. This will be a fun filled, informative event where you can see our children working their socks off as they learn.

Two presentations will take place, an infant and upper school. You will e encouraged to visit the presentations and lessons that best suit your child’s needs. There will be lots of information about how you can help your child and some freebies from the ‘Read, Write, Count’ initiative for our infant learners.

If you would like to learn more about ‘Read, Write, Count’ have a look at their website by following the link below.

We hope that you can make it along.

Primary 1/2 put their culinary skills to the test and made bread and butter with Mrs. Spowart.  Everyone was so delighted with their efforts and they had rave reviews from their sample tasters.

Many parents/carers requested the recipe during Progress Conferences so here it is for you to enjoy and use.

Before the holidays primary 1/2 did some science investigations looking at objects that float and sink. We enjoyed this so much we wanted to make some boats! Over the holidays we were set some special homework. Make a boat that floats!

Today was the big launch! Take a look at all of our fantastic boats!

The pupils at Ravenswood have started the new term off in super sporty style! We have all been walking a mile every day!  P1/2 decided to link this exercise with our information handling and record our laps using tally marks! We also like to use the school’s scooters to help us on our way!

Primary 1 worked co-operatively with Primary 1/2 to learn about Plants.  We explored the parts of a plant and what a plant needs to grow, before planting our own daffodil bulbs.  We watered and cared for the bulbs so that beautiful daffodils grew and we gave our flowers as a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift.

Last week we met some new faces- the lovely primary ones who will be joining us in August. They had great fun meeting our current primary 1 and primary 1/2, having a tour of the infant department and playing with their buddies.
