Stane Primary School and Nursery Class
– Kindness – Compassion – Courage – Community –
The police were in the school today to talk to P4/5, P5/6 and P6/7 about Stranger Danger.
The children learned about people who are strangers, and what to do in different situations.
They also learned about what to do if they got lost.
Today thirty-four Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils went on a visit to the Sky Academy in Livingston. They had the opportunity to produce a news report.
The report was based on Recycling – which has been a focus of our learning in class.
The children were split into groups and each assigned roles such as editor, reporter, producer, screen writer. They then worked together in their groups on a section of the report.
Group 1 – introduction,anchor
Group 2 – roving reporters
Group 3 – eye witness
Group 4 – interviews
After they had worked together in their groups to produce their own part of the report, all parts were then combined to produce the final piece..
The kids had a fantastic day and a wonderful opportunity to experience how a news report is made. Some of the comments were …
Miller – “It was a good experience!”
Aidan – “It was fun finding out about how the cameras work!”
Hayley – “It was awesome the equipment we got to use!”
Lewis – “Loves the technology!”
This afternoon the PM nursery children joined up with the P1’s and 2’s to continue their shared learning.
We have all been enjoying learning opportunities linked to a story called ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Picnic.’ In the story, the main character Mr Grinling does not have a very healthy lifestyle, and eats far too much unhealthy food! Our boys and girls worked together in groups to learn about healthier options that Mr Grinling could enjoy on his picnic!
We made some fruit smoothies, some caterpillar fruit kebabs, some strawberry mice and some healthy wraps. The boys and girls enjoyed making the different healthy snacks…and enjoyed tasting them even more!
It was great to see how confident our nursery children now are when working in the primary school environment. The staff were delighted with the fantastic work from the children today, well done!
Primary 1/2, Primary 2 and the Nursery (PM) children had a blast this afternoon while enjoying activities based on our shared learning theme of Pirates. Our Nursery children joined their school friends and were happy and confident while working in the school setting. A great start to our transition process!
The children made pirate hats to wear while they joined in with some singing, dancing and pirate games. I was very impressed with some of their pirate dance moves!
We investigated the sea creatures we found in the frothy sea bubbles, and hunted for treasure buried deep in the sand. We even buried some of our own treasure on desert islands made out of playdough, and made up stories about where our pirates got the treasure from and what they would do with it next!
We finished off by decorating a pirate cupcake to enjoy as a treat for all our hard work!
