Everyone came together this morning to enjoy some pumpkin soup and bread. Thank you to P1/2 and P5/6/7 for making these. The rain didn’t stop us enjoying our Halloween/Autumn scavenger hunts. The children have been busy across the classes participating in a number of activities.
Our school captains and vice captains met with Mrs Templeton on Friday. The captains and vice captains gathered the views and thoughts from their house groups to share with Mrs Templeton and they worked together to see how they could improve our school. Pupil voice is important at Ballantrae primary and this ties in with the UNCRC(United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) article 12 – Children have the right to give their opinion freely on issues that affect them. Adults should listen and take children seriously.
The whole school and nursery took part in an outdoor learning afternoon at the river today. The pupils found insects and enjoyed looking at them through the magnifying glasses. They also did some tree rubbings and outdoor art. It was lovely to see all the pupils playing together and enjoying the autumn sunshine.
Our new class novel in primary 5/6/7 is ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. The pupils have enjoyed predicting what they think could happen using the blurb and front cover. They have enjoyed reading up to chapter five together and discussing what has happened so far. Today the pupils drew labelled and detailed drawings using the descriptions from the story so far.
Primary 5/6/7 have been enjoying music lessons with Mr Welsh. This is a mixture of online teaching and in person teaching. Pupils have been learning to play some tunes on the Glockenspiels.
Primary p5/6/7 have been taking part in different activities to develop their understanding of place value over the last week. They have been learning to read and write up to nine digit numbers. They have been learning to add and subtract powers of ten and they have been learning to compare and order numbers. They have learned a lot and have had lots of fun doing so!
It was lovely to welcome all the pupils back to school today. This afternoon we had a whole school assembly then our primary 6 and 7 pupils led outdoor games. We had a great time and everyone enjoyed being together again.
