We just couldn’t resist a run around in the first snow of the winter last week. Little did we know…

Our First John Muir Day
On Wednesday 28th September all of the P7s had their first John Muir day out to Kergord Wood, exploring the wild!
Here is what they thought of it:
Christina – We went to Kergord with John, Davy and Mr Feeney. I really enjoyed building dens and playing ‘follow the leader’
Ryan – I really liked the den-building. I liked doing the wood work.
Eveline – I really liked the den building because I got wet and muddy, and it took hard work. I liked going over the bridges and flipping and climbing on the trees.
Liam – it was exciting and muddy and I liked playing in the forest.
Conor – it was fun building the shelters and following John, doing what he did. I liked building the shelters the most.
Leo – I enjoyed the obstacles and going under and over them. I really enjoyed climbing the tree.
Lily – I enjoyed following John , everywhere he went.
Ruben – I enjoyed building the shelters and climbing the trees.
Jade – I enjoyed following john around the forest. Building the dens was so much fun.
Freya – the John Muir day was so much fun. I liked climbing up the tree.
Emily – We got to eat in an old croft house ruin and John lit a fire. We got to climb a tree and then I fell off and face planted the floor.
Georgia – we went to climb trees in Kergord. I really enjoyed it and it made me happy.
Isabelle – The adrenaline rushed through my veins when I crawled across the logs of flipped over trees. I felt happy and grateful when we built our dens and watched the embers spark from the flames. I enjoyed getting to go to the forest and just be with all my friends.
Planting in the polycrub
A few weeks ago the P7s tidied up the polycrub and today, while the P7s were on their first John Muir day, the P6s worked really hard to carry the new topsoil in and replant the apple trees and plant a raised bed of tatties. Ms Scanlan was so impressed at how hard they worked. What a great job they all did, well done!
Primary 6 Bikeability
This morning the P6s completed their last Bikeability session and had an assessment of their skills. They tried lots of different turns and used the hand signals well. They all did really well 😃 Thank you so much to Jennifer for teaching everyone so well.
Bikeability and Outdoor Learning
We were very lucky to have a super sunny afternoon for Bikeability and Outdoor Learning today. The P6s had fun learning to turn off the road.
The P7s split into two groups, Mr Soper took half into the Polycrub to clear it out ready for some planting and the rest of the P7s went with Ms Scanlan to take some willow cuttings and then return to help with the Polycrub. A huge well done to everyone for all their hard work, we got a lot accomplished 😃
First week back
What a lovely week it has been meeting up with everyone again. We have had lots of fun in class and outside and we finished off this afternoon with a game of hide and seek in the forest!
Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday 😃
Tree planting
While the P7s were on their second John Muir day, the P6s had an afternoon of tree planting. Firstly we helped John to plant the Queen’s jubilee trees, then we took some willow cuttings and planted them and finally we potted up some sycamore seedlings to plant next year. Everyone worked very hard and we’re looking forward to seeing another area of woodland grow up
Easter chicks!
As an end of term treat, Ms Scanlan brought her newly hatched chicks into school today.
Everyone loved having a chance to hold them. We learnt how to hold them properly and to calm them down, so they were relaxed and their eyes were closing!
Happy New Year cards from our French penpals
On Monday our new penpal letters arrived. It was very exciting to read them all.
We are getting ready for COP 26
P6/7 have been finding out about what we can do to help in the fight against climate change. Here are some of our goals
