We celebrated Children in Need 2022 with some crazy hairstyles! Designing our own T-shirts, donated by our Parent Partnership. We got the chance to take part in lots of fun activities in the class and around the school. Have a look at some of the pictures from our exciting day.😃

Halloween
As well as the litter pick the children enjoyed some in school Halloween activities and parties.
Sponsored Litter Pick
It was a really miserably wet day but the school with help from parents/carers and the wider community we managed to do a huge tidy up of the village and subsequently raised £494 which will go towards subsidising the Christmas outings for all the children.
P1 – 3 outdoor learning
Primary 1-3 have been going outdoors each week within the local community. We have had lots of fun finding natural materials to use in our classroom and enjoyed hunting for minibeasts in hidden areas.
Watch How We Grow – Measuring
We have been learning about different ways to measure by height weight and capacity. We worked together with the ladies and created a wall display ‘Watch how we Grow’ showcasing our range of heights across the EYC. The length of the ribbon is the length of each child, who then created their own flowers to make a pretty flower bed. 🌺🌷🌸🌻💐
EYC OUTDOOR LEARNING
Another October fun filled day in the forest for the EYC children! Everyone was SO busy. We created our own paints with the mortar & pestle using berries and leaves; practiced our balancing and jumping skills on the big log; played circle games and tig; climbed trees; compared sizes of branches and trees; created lots of mud pies; shared a story and found lots of interesting mushrooms and fungi! Everyone is learning to respect the boundaries set and watch out for any risky business!! We had so many sensible children alerting the ladies to danger! We talked about slips and falls, the high river after all of the recent rain, broken glass, jaggy trees and stinging nettles! 🌲🪵🌿🍂🍄🎨🏕
EYC & P1- Forest School Learning Approach
On the 7th October the EYC and P1 experienced the great outdoors all day long as they took a forest kindergarten approach to learning! Armed with toilets, tents, tarps and tasty lunches they explored the sights, sounds and smells around them. As they played the children were developing their fine & gross motor skills, risk awareness, listening skills, sensory awareness, maths & numeracy skills and language & literacy skills! A busy and fun day was had by all! 🌲🍁🍂🏕
