Thank you to everyone who came to school with their odd socks today. In the afternoon, we all showed off our footwear and, more importantly, spoke about why we need to raise awareness of this genetic condition. With the help of watching some Newsround clips and talking together, I hope we helped to spread the message of this year’s campaign…leave no one behind.
P1/2 have been working really hard to learn their lines and we’re just about ready for Friday! We’ve had a few last minute changes due to illness but P1/2 are taking everything in their stride as usual!
We really hope you can come this Friday at 1:40 and stay for tea and a look around afterwards.
Primary 1/2 will be doing ERIC time (Everyone Reading In Class) on Thursday and Friday morning (14.3.19 & 15.3.19) from 9:30 – 10:00. If any parent helpers are free for that half hour and would like to come and join in with our reading time, we’d be glad to see you! Just leave me a message in the comments box if you can come. Thanks!
What a brilliant end to a busy week! We all had a superb morning celebrating with our P7 Jarl Squad (and the official SMUHA Jarl Squad). Here are just a few photos. The bright, joyful colours and happy faces sum up our day! Until next year….
Three P1/2 pupils had their shield designs printed and used to decorate our galley! Well done Kirsty, Jasmin and Honey. They look great!
We donned our Viking helmets and shields to get our photo taken with the P7 galley, named Ocean Raider, before it meets its fiery end tomorrow! Well done to Mrs Henderson and our support staff for helping to get everyone ready!
Today saw P1/2 involved in lots more Viking activities! In the morning we listened to Stephen Renwick talk to us about Viking life. He told us about Viking clothing, weapons, money and trading and answered lots of our questions. P1/2 listened so well and answered questions really sensibly.
Then we went to see Esther Renwick who is an archaeologist. She talked to us about her job and told us about how we “know” about the Vikings. She showed as a pretend excavation site and how when you go down through the layers, you may come across things from the past, going further back in time the lower you dig.
In the afternoon, we talked about Viking runes and practised writing our names as we would have done years ago. P1/2 did this with ease! We wrote our names on foil and made Viking type pendants.
While looking through iPad photos, I found the two photos below, taken by Mrs Henderson on Art day. They made me instantly smile and feel proud of our P1/2 pupils and how kind and supportive of one another they are! Keep looking out for each other P1/2!!
P1/2 had a busy day this Friday. We are all enjoying opening up our class advent calendar and seeing what tree decoration is waiting inside for us to add to our class tree. Thanks too, for all the lovely donations to our alternative advent calendar!
Friday saw our first visit to the Sandwick Pool. All children thoroughly enjoyed their time swimming and they all performed well. Really good effort drying and changing from the little ones too!
The afternoon saw us catching up with some of our usual Friday activities and because we were all quite tired from our play rehearsals and our morning out of school, we all enjoyed some craft time and time to play with friends during our Task time.
Thank you to all our visitors that came in for our class family lunch! We hope you enjoyed your time in the school and that you had a super meal. It’s great to be able to share these moments with you.
