This afternoon the boys and girls worked together to make Ballantrae’s longest ever obstacle course! They worked in their house teams and took a side of the bike track each to make their fantastic obstacles! They demonstrated excellent team work, cooperation and delegation skills!

World Book Day- Talk for Writing Workshop with Mr Sisi
As part of World Book day, all pupils took part in a Talk for Writing workshop with Mr Sisi where they learned all about the book ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. Pupils studied the language of the book before creating their own ‘story maps’ visually representing the major events within the book.
World Book Day with Mrs Gregg
Today (3rd March) we celebrated World Book Day and how important books, authors and illustrators are in our lives. In Mrs Gregg’s class we drew pictures of our favourite book characters and wrote what we liked about them.

World Book day stem challenge
One of our challenges today was to build a new house for the three little pigs. Lots of problem solving, design and time management skills were required. The aim of the challenge was to make a house secure enough to avoid being blown down by the big bad wolf, otherwise known as Mrs Ball’s big bad hair dryer. There were some great creations, and lots of enjoyment had by the children.
Lots of Learning to share
We have been learning lots in class over the last few weeks. Here are some photos which share with you some of the exciting things we have been up to.
Connecting Classrooms in P5-7
Primary 5-7 enjoyed a special day on Tuesday where, as part of our connecting classrooms project, we met on zoom with the pupils and staff of Pragnya Bodhini, Mumbai. During this meet, pupils recited their Burns poem, shared their knowledge of their topic – life on land- and enjoyed a fun and interactive quiz. Well done everyone!
We have been having lots of fun learning in Primary 1/2. We hope you enjoy the pictures showing some of the work we have been doing in class.

Outdoor Learning Down the River
This morning P1-7 walked down to the river to take part in some outdoor learning activities. The children found bugs, insects and flowers and used magnifying glasses to explore them more closely. The children also made some autumn jewellery, had an autumn scavenger hunt and made homes for birds. A fun and adventurous morning was had by all.
