P1/2 made hog houses

Leave a comment

We used guidance from the RSPB on how to make a ‘hog house’ for hedgehogs then split the class into 2 groups.  Each group designed and made their house.

We needed to make the box waterproof, make a door for hedgehogs to get in and out, thought of a name for each house then designed pictures and signs to go on the house.

We carried the houses up next to the den among the trees and put a weight on top so they didn’t blow away.  We finally filled the hog homes with straw to keep hedgehogs warm and dry while they sleep.

We thought they looked pretty good and we can’t wait to see if any hedgehogs come to stay in them!

We have learned about the letter S.  We used playdough and pipe        cleaners to make S.  We coloured in Snake then practiced writing lots of s.

We learned about Penguin One.  We found out that Penguin One slid so much on the snow that he got a black mark on his tummy which looked like a number 1.

We have enjoyed the morning walk, playing with the prehistoric stickers, playing outside at playtimes and our school dinners.

Next week we would like to learn about number 2 and some new letters.

 

 

Week 3 in Primary 1

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.

This week we have learned about Amazing 8, working as a team to make astronauts, we learned about ‘u’ and ‘l.’  We learned about Remembrance Day.  We watched a short video and then made poppy pictures.  We made posters to tell people about the importance of not bullying.  We also learned about the Sun.

We have enjoyed playing in the courtyard with the mud kitchen, water and bikes.  We make handprint aliens, space rockets and have really liked playing with the moon sand and the Playmobil space rocket.

Next week we will learn about number 9 and two more sounds.

Shoebox appeal 2017

Leave a comment

On a recent trip to Shetland, Finlay Mackenzie who works for Blythswood care gave a talk to Primary pupils about the shoebox appeal. Shoeboxes are filled with gifts like shampoo, socks, a notepad, small toy and then delivered to someone in need. They are distributed to Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Pakistan, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.  If you would like to fill a shoebox for someone this Christmas you can take it to the school office which is our local collecting point – last collection day Monday 30th October.

Hockey Festival 2017

Leave a comment

25 pupils from P6 & 7 had a great day in Brae at the annual Hockey Festival yesterday.  Active Schools organise a superb event where pupils can develop their hockey skills and also get a chance to mix with pupils from many other settings.

Sunshine, laughter, determination, resilience, sportsmanship – well done to all involved, and thanks to Mrs Spence and Miss Murray for accompanying us.
