In primary 1/2 we have been very busy and created a business company called Super Santas. We have our own logo designed by our pupils and we have chosen fantastic products to make for our school’s Christmas Fayre which takes place tomorrow. Our company has allowed us to work cooperatively and has given us lots of opportunities to take part in decision making.
Creating our Christmas Tree Decorations.
We decorated a Christmas table cloth to display our products.
Our fantastic Lucky Bags.
Our younger classes thoroughly enjoyed some well deserved play during golden time this week and loved getting to visit each others classes.
We love working together.
We love playing with out nativity scene.
Happy boys!
Getting creative!
This week p1/2 revisited our Minibeast Hotel to see if any little creatures had decided to make it their home. We saw worms, woodlouse, beetles and a slug. We were hoping to find some hedgehogs, frogs or ladybirds so some problem solving children came up with the idea of making posters to persuade these minibeasts to come and live in our hotel. The next day we created “Wanted” posters using our most persuasive language. The results were fantastic and we will position them around our hotel to encourage the wildlife of Ravenswood to seek shelter in the cold winter months.
On Wednesday we went to search our Minibeast hotel- hoping to find some hibernating hedgehogs.
A super “Wanted” poster that is sure to attract some prickly friends.
P1/2 are learning to self assess their own writing.
Our enterprising children in primary 1/2 have set up a company to sell Christmas decorations at our school’s Christmas Fayre. Our children had previously decided upon our name- Super Santas and one of our clever primary 2 girls designed our winning logo. This week we worked cooperatively to choose the perfect colours to make our logo really stand out.

We have a winner!
Our hotel is jammed packed full of interesting things for minibeasts to live and feast upon.
Getting the bottom layer of our hotel nice and cosy!
P1/2 are delighted to be helping the minibeasts of Ravenswood.
Primary 1/2 have loved being Eco warriors and we have been preparing the school’s Minibeast Hotel for the winter.
We have been working on patterns in primary 1/2 for the past fortnight. We have have used a variety of materials, both inside and outside of the classroom. We are pattern experts now!
We have been learning about capacity, weight and length. We investigated standard and non-standard units. Standard units were much easier to use!
It was great to see Primary 1/2 perform their class assembly with confidence. P1/2 managed to tell everybody all about time in a fun and engaging way. Dr Who even made an appearance! The hall was full, thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy the show.
Today was a super day for all of the infants here at Ravenswood. We braved the elements and marched up to Cumbernauld Town Centre to visit the Royal Bank of Scotland. Everyone was so nice and helpful teaching us how to be excellent cashiers and telling us what we can do to be super savers.
We checked the money carefully and used our skills in a real bank. We have our own bank now in school so we will be experts! After our visit to the bank we stopped by Tesco. We were looking for different items on our shopping list and comparing Fairtrade items to their regular counterparts. P1 and P1/2 found the Fairtrade symbol independently as we searched for bananas, coffee and chocolate. What a busy day! Tomorrow we are analysing our results. Keep checking our posts to find out more.
