P5 had the amazing opportunity to visit Lapwing Lodge and take part in some fantastic outdoor learning experiences.

Primary One had a brilliant afternoon outside. We are currently reading “The Gruffalo” and “The Gruffalo’s Child” so we went outside and made our Gruffalo out of leaves and twigs! We had great fun!  #ouralfrescoyear 

A huge well done to all of our pupils in Primary 7 who performed in two shows this evening at Johnstone Town Hall.

Alongside the P7s from Cochrane Castle, our P7s did a fantatstic job and showed their skills in drama, creativity, confidence and teamwork.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for our pupils and we’re sure that they won’t be limited by anyone or anything.

Final preparations are underway for our Primary 7’s PACE performance #together with our friends in Cochrane Castle, Glencoats and St Fergus. We hope you enjoy the show.

Primary 2 have been making autumn art in class and at home. We have also been working with partners and as a team to use our artistic skills outdoors as well.

It was fun to see all the different things we could make as everyone had different ideas; love hearts, trees, what would you make?

We began by looking for anything unsafe and marked it to keep us safe.

We have been looking at lots of different ways we use numbers and maths in our lives and jobs.

P2 said that we need to measure when we build things and when we cook. They also said that telling the time was important. We all need to be able to count our money.

We even looked at how we need shape in design and learned more about Kandinsky and Klee-famous artists who used shape in their paintings. We even used our Spanish to colour match our shapes.

We used tally marks to vote then filled in our graph. Which character was your favourite.

Sometimes we work best as a team.

Primary 3/4 have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes this week. They have been learning about the amount of corners, sides and even lines of symmetry. To show the knowledge we had been learning we went outside to find as many 2D shapes as we could.

We found:

Tyres and signs in the shape of circles.

We found triangles in our Tim Trail and made some out of sticks.

And we found lots of squares.

We even decided to make shapes out of our bodies:

We will continue to learn about shapes but this was a fun way for everyone to enjoy Maths Week Scotland!
