We have been exploring our feelings in ELC. Sometimes we all feel worried or cross and we have been exploring things that can help us feel a bit better. We enjoyed playing outside in the warm soapy water. Blowing bubbles helped us to practice taking deep, calm breaths!
We had great time in ELC recently celebrating ten years of the new school building. We explored the number ten, played some party games and of course enjoyed blowing out ten candles before our ten-themed snack!
We had to work together sharing ideas to work out the solution. We had to use our knowledge of number, place value and the four operations to identify the number.
Most of us thought it was very tricky but we persevered.
It has been a perfect week for P1 to look more at how water freezes and ice melts and to relate it to the frosty mornings and snowy weather! On Monday we did ice experiments, predicting and then testing to see whether salt, sugar or hot water melted the ice fastest.
We also worked in groups to make ice ornaments to hang in the playground. Hopefully the children managed to share these with you and tell you why they were melting.
Other highlights this week have been eating pancakes on Tuesday, learning to takeaway in maths and the ch sound in phonics. We are all excited for World Book Day next Thursday!
Jack enjoyed trying on the Roman weapons! He agrees very heavy and would not enjoy being a Roman!
We studied the design of the Scottish Parliament Building and recreated the MSP Pods.
We made and cooked delicious pancakes. We could choose butter, jam or Nutella to have on top. They were delicious.
Rob came to talk to us about the Roman fort near Melrose and to show us some of the artefacts that have been found there. We got to hold a 1800 year old Roman playing piece from a game and also got to try on some replica armour. It was great fun but we decided being a soldier must have been hard work as the armour was very heavy!

We had great fun this morning celebrating Kingsland’s 10th Birthday. One of our activities was to design and create a birthday cake in our groups. We all worked together to make our best creations for the Bake Off judges. Joshua and Aiden’s group won with an amazing chocolate cake that looked like fireworks.
