Today we had to earth up our potatoes because when we measured them they were 20cm tall. Most of us took turns to put some more soil on the potatoes. we earth them to protect from the frost and weeds.
We also dug up pot A to see the roots. There were no potatoes but there was hook forming which is a sign that potatoes would form.
Hopefully when we dig up Pot B there will be some small potatoes visible.
P2 have been learning about adjectives, while P3 have been learning about adverbs.
We all played the game The Minister’s Cat. Please play at home.
Visit these websites to play some games.
Some are trickier than others, but you should get most.
In PE we practised throwing and catching balls.
We then practised throwing the javelin and throwing balls at different targets.
Top javelin thrower has to be FRED. You heard it hear first folks!
Today we looked at our potatoes to see how they are getting on after the holidays.
They are growing well.
Aiva measured our largest plant and it was 16cm tall and the smallest one was 10 cm.
Luckily P3 have been learning how to measure with centimetres and metres this week in Maths:)
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, Â 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!
