We have carried on our Outdoor learning this year with Muddy Mondays.

The children have been experiencing  the different types of cold weather!

In our Wood area in the school grounds we have been taking different types of mark making equipment and seeing what the children choose to do with it.

We have enjoyed having our story and snack outside too.

Please support us by ensuring your child is warmly and appropriately dressed for the weather!

In P2 we have been thinking about how important sleep is to keep us healthy.

We have started to make dream catchers to help us to sleep well.

Many of us enjoyed making the web part of the dream catcher and drawing the pictures.

In P2 we have been learning to write poems about the weather.

This week we wrote poems about stormy weather.

We are learning to share things into sets.

It is fun and challenging us at the same time.

We are looking forward to finding out more about division next week…………….

We had great fun making volcanoes erupt today.

Yesterday Ian who works for Scottish parliament came in to talk to us about parliament and debates. We had a mini election that the computer party won with 11 votes the animal welfare party came second with 8 votes and all the other parties drew with 2 votes.  Then we had a debate about if it should be a crime to use wild animals in the circus which Will was the presiding officer . The result was the motion got passed with 81 % .                 

   He gave us all clickapads to answer questions and to vote with. At the end he found out who had got the most questions correct. Hamish got the most correct with 5 right then Jake and Kelvin both got 4 but Kelvin answered faster so he came 2nd and Jake was 3rd.

Thank you for reading !

Thank you. We enjoyed creating them.

Today we enjoyed a visit our new School Liaison Officer, PC Harper. He answered some of our questions and we looked at the important equipment he uses. We look forward to seeing PC Harper again soon!

We used 250 g of potatoes, 25 g of butter, 50 g of self raising flour and a pinch of salt.  We mixed all the ingredients together and then rolled it out.  We then made triangles for our scones.

Rana  – It felt fun mixing everything up with our hands.  The chipolatas were good with a little bit of ketchup.

Charlie – These were the tastiest tattie scones ever.  Thank you Forsyths for giving us the amazing chipolatas.

Frazer – These wonderful tattie scones were really fun to make and delicious to eat.

George – The chipolatas we good along with the super potato scones.

Lewis – It felt so weird when you mixed the potatoes, butter and flour together.

We had a busy morning on Friday as we worked with our P7 buddies to take part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. We wrapped up warm and enjoyed exploring different areas of the playground. In spite of the cold, we were able to see many different types of birds and we recorded our findings on a table. Then we headed inside to make bird seed feeders and shared some bird-themed stories with our P7 friends.
