Primary 6 were working on kg and g last week and used their skills to measure out ingredients.  Here are some photos of their delicious cakes.

We also had fun with art and here are a few examples.

We’ve made a good start with our Wild Challenge in P1 and P2/1. We’re regularly spotting chaffinches, great tits and blackbirds among many others on our bird table and in the playground.

On Tuesday afternoon we learned about what birds and other animals need – Shelter, Water, Air and Food (SWAF). We talked about where the birds could find each of these things and then made our own fat balls and kebabs for the children to take home for the birds where they live. The children have said the birds are eating the kebabs but they’re not too sure about the fat balls!

We had great fun with the fat balls in particular – squidgy, slimy and absolutely disgusting were just some of the words used to the describe the texture!

Also this week in phonics we’ve learned the long ‘oo’ (as in pool) and short ‘oo’ (as in book). We worked together to create a plasticine zoo, sharing our ideas with our friends and listening to other’s suggestions to all make a different animal. We’ve also been doing lots of reading and practising our key words.

In numeracy we’re continuing with subtraction and linking subtraction and addition facts.

Primary 1 and 2/1 starting working towards achieving  their  bronze certificate in the RSPB Wild Challenge.  We began by talking about SWAF, what animals and birds need to survive, SHELTER WATER AIR and FOOD. We thought about  how our school grounds provide this.

To help our playground birds we decided to put out water and bird food. We made bird kebabs by threading  apples, cheese, sultanas, and  strawberries onto wire and fat balls, which was a very messy job!

Good morning everyone!

Below is the suggested timetable for this week.

In primary 1 we have building subtraction facts.

Primary 1 had great fun on World Book Day. Throughout the day we shared lots of different stories, we did a fairytale quiz and went on a book trail around the school grounds.We made stick puppets of some of the characters from Chicken Licken and used them to retell the story and to create a new ending for the story.

Primary 1 have been continuing to focus on forming their lower case letters, thinking carefully about how to hold their pen and where to start each letter.
