Its been a busy January! New girls and boys have started and they have all settled in very well. The children have taken advantage of our snow days and have also been learning a little bit about Robert Burns. There has been a tremendous amount of constructing over the past month by our budding architects, builders and problem solvers….keep designing as you surprise us everyday!
The nursery children wore all things spotty and Pudsey for Children In Need today. Lots of pennies raised for charity. Many thanks!
We had lots of fun today on our AM session trip to Finlaystone Country Park.
We played in the woods and there was lots of exciting things to play on. We climbed on the tram and the fort, played on the slides and swings and we pretended to be pirates on the pirate ship! We also took part in a ranger led activity and went on a bug hunt.

In school we were visited by Zoolab. There was a boa constrictor, a snail, a tarantula and even a rat (also a cockroach). I liked touching the rat but I was afraid of the snak

Today Zoolab came to visit and we got to see a snake and it cuddled me. I thought it would be slimey but it was not. I liked it.

I touched a snake and it was cold and it was long and it had little eyes. I felt brave.
P2 had fun using clay in Art to create their own gruffalo faces
Elena and Anya enjoyed their visit to the opening preview of ‘Inspired’ art exhibition at Paisley museum last Friday where they saw their art work on display. Fantastic print work!
Primary 2 were honoured to be asked to help judge a competition for local dog walking and grooming business Fields of Fun. They had the difficult job of choosing one of these lovely dogs to be the model in their advertising campaign. It was a difficult decision but the children eventually chose Cookie the Cockapoo. Isn’t she cute?
We’re going to catch a big one, we’re not scared!
That was the often-heard cry from P1b at the start of term as we spent weeks learning about the great outdoors, its plants and animals as we read Michael Rosen’s We’re Going On A Bear Hunt.
Wearing wellies and armed with our own binoculars, were explored our fantastic playing fields to investigate the story’s grass, river, mud, forest, snowy and cave habitats.
We even learned about rhyming words, descriptive words and sound words. Then, to top it all off, we proved to our teachers that we could sequence the story by taking part in an obstacle course during PE.
