This morning Mr McCrae, a music teacher, joined us from Greenfaulds High school.  He demonstrated his playing of a trombone and asked if any P6 would like to get brass tuition. He’s coming back next Wednesday  to give out information letters and applications forms to those pupils interested.

This afternoon we had to do our PE outside. First of all we had a go at our first orienteering course. We had to stay with our partners, use a map to locate letters placed around the school then collect all of the letters. We then had to unscramble the letters to make a word which was WOODLANDS. After orienteering, we played capture the flag which really got our hear eat up too.

This morning we had our final session with Cumbernauld Living Landscape.  We were learning about how animal friendly our school grounds are.  Tracey from Cumbernauld Landscape told us that “Woodlands have one of the best animal friendly school grounds in the whole of Cumbernauld!” This was because of our hedgehog hotel, bug hotels, beehive, wormery, pond, bird boxes, gaps under our fences as well as the long grass, trees and berries.

This morning we were building on our previous work on using commas in a list. Today we were learning to put a colon that looks like this : at the beginning of a list. The colon introduces the list and goes in front of the first item on the list.

Don’t forget: tomorrow we continue our work with Cumbernauld Living Landscapes.  The weather forecast is good but you’ll still need a warm jacket and wellies or shoes you don’t mind getting muddy.
