PRIMARY 1/2 POP-UP CAFE

Leave a comment

When Primary 1 and 2 decided they wanted to have a pop-up café at the end of term, we began planning and thinking about what we would need to get and do.  We spoke about foods/drinks which would be easy to make in a busy classroom and also considered food allergies.

This week we have been busy baking and making sandwiches.  Everybody took part and worked really well together.

This morning, we were delighted to see so many people come into the classroom.  We had to have 2 different sittings as there were so many people wanting to come!  We had a fantastic time with everyone enjoying the food and drink and our waiters/waitresses working very hard attending on their tables.  Guests were then invited to go and see all the excellent gardening work they have been doing recently with Duncan in the greenhouse and polytunnel.

Donations given this morning amounted to £176.51 which we will put towards a trip next term.  Sincere thanks to everyone who gave so generously.

I hope everyone enjoyed their morning and will now enjoy a well deserved Easter break.  See you all in 2 weeks!

Gardening Day

While the rest of P5 and P6/7 were away at the Garrison doing their drama rehearsal we got to help Duncan plant lots and lots and lots of daffodil bulbs.  After a hard mornings work we were not only hungry but had muscles the size of a weightlifters! We planted about 150 daffodil bulbs just for about 2 and a half hours. Thanks to Tyler, Kyle, Niah, Mattie, Ailidh, Willum, Holden, Mrs. Nicolson and a very big thanks to Duncan for planting all the daffodil bulbs. There was some very good teamwork and communication. Everybody had a great time and lots of fun!

Storysacks

This term, secondary 1 pupils are coming through each Monday to visit primary 1 and 2 pupils to share story-sacks with them.  This involves reading and listening to stories, playing games, making jigsaws, using puppets and toys and other activities relevant to the story-sack theme.

Primary 1 and 2 pupils are thoroughly enjoying the older children coming through and secondary 1 pupils are doing a fantastic job of sharing the story-sacks with the younger pupils.

 

Week 3 in Primary 1

Leave a comment

In Primary 1 this week we have learned our new phonic blend – ng.  We were strongmen and strongwomen and made the sound as we lifted up the VERY heavy weight! 🙂

Within our topic of Journeys, we were learning about directions.  We learned how to tell our left from our right by finding the ‘L’ on our left hand then went outside to give directions to each other.

We learned about North, South, East and West and Mr Spence came in with a very old compass and 4 smaller handheld ones.  We went outside and found which way pointed North then all the other directions.

The courtyard was one of our play activities this week and we enjoyed playing with the Early Years children.  The weather was lovely all week until Friday, but that didn’t stop us!

No morning walk this morning but instead we did some yoga in class.  Today we were Spidermen & Spiderwomen.

 

 

PRIMARY 2 PICNIC

2 Comments

What a busy time we’ve had in Primary 2 preparing for our special visitors!

Well done Primary 2 for preparing the menu and writing out the invitations for Primary 1.  We made chocolate crispies and fairy cakes and really enjoyed baking them.  Everybody worked hard and took their time to make the really yummy food.

Here’s what Primary 1 had to say about the picnic:

“I liked the cakes”    “I liked the gummy worms”   “I liked the Haribos”   “It was the best picnic EVER!”  “It was good that they had healthy food”    “I liked playing with the primary 2s in their class”    “Primary 2 were great bakers!”    “Thank you very much primary 2”

Our end of term Task Force afternoon was a great success with all Primary pupils enjoying their Spring craft making.  Mrs Scott works hard to make sure we have lovely things to make and working in our teams means we can all help each other.
