well done

awww they are so cute

I loved it

P4a were delighted to have a visit from Clare Prenton, who is a theatre director. We were amazed at how many different jobs there are within the creative arts industry – when Mrs Prenton directs a play she has to lead a massive team of different people (joiners, lighting engineers, vocal coaches, writers, costume designers, and loads more)! We talked about how there are jobs that would suit all interests and skills – creative types may prefer acting, writing or designing, while technical jobs may involve sound/light engineers or set designers and builders.

Last week we were learning about the er sound. The class have completed magnetic whiteboard activities, have been reading and writing words containing the er sound and have had opportunities to revise sounds we have learned previously.  The children also enjoyed consolidating their learning through engaging with a range of activities as seen below:

The children had to draw around the cracker template, cut out the cracker shape and decorate it with colourful paper.

The children had a lot of fun creating, watching and performing stories in our finger puppet theatre!

One of our most popular activities this week was drawing and labelling some traffic lights with the words red, amber and green.

Many of the children enjoyed drawing some mermaids under the sea!

Here are some of the words which you can make, say, write and draw:

her, herb, kerb, herd, fern advert, sherbet, person, mermaid, faster, under, over etc.

Many thanks for allowing me the opportunity to come along and talk to all of the primary five pupils about a career in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. A fantastic morning filled with enthusiasm and great listening. Excellent questions along the way. Glad to see so many thinking about becoming future firefighters!

As part of our Muddy Mondays, last Monday we visited Haylodge park. a big thank you to all the parents who came with us to make this walk possible.

We talked a about how to keep ourselves SAFE at the park, and how walking to the park and playing in the play park is a good way to keep HEALTHY and ACTIVE.

Lots more photos and quote in our floorbook, check it out in the ELC cloakroom!

We are looking forward to having a few visitors in ELc this week as part of our Schools careers week.

Today, the morning children welcomed Elis mum Amy in, to talk about her job at the bank of Scotland.

She had a uniform on and talked about bank accounts and different coins and money.

We are going to take this forward next term to look at money and coins.

Thanks Amy!

It was a fun day Rana and lots of things for us to work on to help keep us safe on our bikes and on the road.
