We finished our week getting ready for our Easter Get Together.
In the morning we all made Easter napkin holders for the Daffodil Tea. Some of us also made flowers and others made an Easter bonnet.
In the afternoon we joined with the rest of the school in our Easter Get Together.
Today was busy, busy!
We made comments for our Friendship Tree – saying kind words about somebody we wouldn’t generally say something nice to.
Next we went over to the hall and Miss Dingwall showed us how to play Indoor Curling. We had a great time and some of us would have played longer.
This was then followed by orienteering in the playground with Mrs Lynne. The children in pairs managed this very well and after initially finding it a little tricky, they had it mastered. Mrs Lynne kindly provided Hot Chocolate to keep us warm, as the snow was beginning to fall a little harder.
In the afternoon, after music practice, we played Whole School Dodgeball. Well done to Ardoch who won, but a big well done has to go to Alexander Bickerton who was standing alone in his team,
which seemed an eternity, avoiding all the balls.
Today we started with a whole school walk around the Castle Drive. Even though there were snow flurries, off we went! On route Jim Dawson, a local farmer, kindly let us see his newborn lambs in his farm.
After lunch we had a super time learning about SARDA. Mr Gaskell told us all about mountain rescue and the work of his dogs. We even had a demonstration, where the rescue dog had to find Mrs Gaskell.
Today we had a great day drawing our pictures for the Tesco Art Competition.
Our category was Dogs. We practised first and then we had to design our very own. A big thank you to Ms Webberley who was in to help us.
All week we have been busy preparing and practising for our Get Together.
We wanted to tell the school all about what we have been learning.
Enjoy the pictures! Also a big thank you to Finlay for working the slideshow.
Today we used the playground shopping boards to practice counting up money.
We recorded how much food cost, then went inside to add the prices up, as it was freezing cold and it was beginning to snow!
Alexander K – In Science we have been doing about forces and friction.
Euan- Change from £1.
Alexander B – We saw a farmer. We planted our potatoes.
Ben- At PE we have been learning skipping and inside we have been practising our dance moves.
Aiva- In Maths the P3’s have been learning the shopkeepers method of giving change.
Eleanor- In Health we have been learning about being kind and unkind.
Sandy- The P3’s have been making a Victorian glossary.
James- In Art we have been making spinning tops.
Holly- In spelling we have been learning i sounding words.
In our groups we had another chance at improving our skills playing Victorian games.
Some boys and girls moved the game of marbles onto the carpet, as they were moving so quickly along the floor. We discussed that there would be more friction on the carpet, so the marbles would be easier to control.
Well done for making your beautiful cards and for your neat handwriting.
Hopefully all of your Mums liked them!
This week we practised our skipping and learned new rhymes to help us learn simple addition sums and the months of the year.
Well done to Miles and Cameron who really persevered and improved greatly on their skipping!
