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.

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.

“You can actually make anything out of anything as long as you try hard and are positive” Liam P4.

I think he perfectly sums up our busy day. Massive thanks to the RSPB, our hardworking volunteers, Early Years, Primary and Secondary pupils who all worked together to improve the outdoor environment around the school – what a difference a day makes!

 

Primary 3 being teachers!

Today, primary 2 were learning about division for the first time. After spending some time discussing it as a class, every P2 paired up with two P3s who showed them how to do division using cubes. The P3s were fantastic at explaining and helping their classmates figure out the workbook page too. I’m very proud of how well everyone managed to listen to each other. It’s great to have experts in the class when you’re learning a new skill, P2 are very lucky!

Story Spinners with P2/3

Leave a comment

This week P2/3 have used ‘Story Spinners’ to help them create interesting stories. Primary 2 had to get a character and setting to write about, while Primary 3 also had to think about characteristics, props and keywords! We spend some time coming up with ideas for stories based on the information everyone had been given. After this thinking time, we used story planners to start to think about what we want to happen at the start, middle and end. I can’t wait to read the finished stories next week!
