What a super afternoon! The bairns (and staff!) thoroughly enjoyed it! The bairns all did brilliantly and the smiles throughout said it all. A massive thank you to Mrs Ritchie for organising it all! And thanks to everyone who was able to come along and watch!
Words by Hendry:
Today we went to Tesco on a bus because it is too far to walk! When we got to Tesco we went upstairs to where the workers eat their denner. Then we went downstairs and we saw lots of food. We had to find what country it came from. Then we went back upstairs for snack! Then we went back on the bus and then we went to the library. We saw some books and then Miss Hunter read us two stories! Then we went back on the bus and then we went to school. I had a great day!
For our big question we have been looking at materials and what we might use to build different things, i.e. bridges, towers, etc. The bairns were put into teams and had to create a bridge that was the height of a ruler and could hold the weight of a heavy book. The second challenge was to create the tallest tower out of marshmallows and cocktail sticks. Lots of team work, collaboration, critical thinking and communication skills were seen throughout the sessions.
“Let’s use our magic pencils to draw a make-believe world! Imagine a land of colourful flowers and talking animals. Draw a big castle with a dragon on top, or maybe a spaceship flying among the stars. You can use paper and crayons, or even a special drawing app on a tablet. What exciting ideas will you sketch into your magical picture?”
On Tuesday mornings we do some writing and have a chance to go into the hall with Mrs Bannister for some play and STEM challenges. This week looked a whole lot of fun!
The lovely Mrs Bannister is running a Pokemon Club for Primary 1 – 3 and it looked like great fun!! A massive thank you to Mrs Bannister for giving up your time to do this!
Miss Baronet did a super lesson for our Big Question this week looking at food chains, focusing on photosynthesis, producers and consumers. The bairns got an input along with a video clip before breaking into groups to do food chains using playdough and chalk as well as some planting. A great lesson, enjoyed by all!
As well as our visit to Elizabeth’s amazing garden, the bairns have been busy doing a variety of things for their play project! Well done everyone!
Jessie and her mam organised a trip to her Granny’s garden to tie in with our play projects. We had a WONDERFUL morning. Elizabeth and Amanda took them on a tour of the hidden gem of a garden, we got to see the hens, do some planting in the polycrub (and take them home) and then a lovely surprise of an ice lolly! We had the best morning! Thank you so much for having us… we had a lovely day!
When the sun is shining… what better way to enjoy it than move the classroom outside!? We love an outdoor classroom! Lots of fun was had by all!
