Month: March 2024

Today we were delighted to welcome the Jarl, Leigh Smith and his squad to join in with the SMUHA celebrations. The squad entertained us with some 80s tunes and in return the class performed a song for them… and they were brilliant! Very proud of them all! Afterwards, some of the squad visited us in the class! A lovely morning!

The bairns all looked fantastic in their outfits for World Book Day! In the afternoon there was a hot chocolate station set up where the children could get their drink and biscuit before settling down to look at books or hear the older bairns reading. What a super afternoon! Thanks to Primary 6/7 and Mrs Adamson.

Every day is busy in Primary 1/2! Here is a snapshot of some of the things they have been doing this week! Special thanks to Mrs Bannister who has been in extra to make the environment much more inviting for the bairns!

We were revisiting a previous big question to see what they children could remember and then build on it and, as always, they did not disappoint!! I gave them a challenge to use what they had learnt to match an unknown celebrity with their children! Every group got it all correct and they were saying things like, “Look at the long nose!” “Let’s look at the eye colour!” and “Look at the shape of their head!” I was super impressed!

Today we were doing our own version of “ten pin bowling.” The bairns would know down their skittles and have to either add or takeaway the numbers… and they didn’t fail to impress! Well done Primary 2!

Leon’s mam (Erica) saw we had been doing about old toys and sent in a box of toys… which the bairns (and staff) loved having a look at. Thanks Erica for taking the time to send this in.

Wow! It has been a busy week with the theme “technology” for our play projects. The bairns continue to amaze us every day!
