Cookies

We had a fantastic time becoming bakers and shopkeepers.  First, we carefully measured ingredients using cups to make our own delicious cookies, learning about quantity and measurement as we mixed, shared, rolled and baked. The next day, when the cookies had cooled we had a busy shop in the classroom where the children took turns being customers and shopkeepers. They practised counting money, working out and giving the correct change, developing their maths skills through real-life experiences before enjoying their cookies for snack. It was great fun – full of learning, teamwork and tasty treats!

Rock Pooling

Our Primary 1/ 2 pupils enjoyed an outdoor learning adventure at the Sands of Sound beach. Equipped with curiosity and keen observation skills, they explored the rock pools to discover the fascinating creatures and plants living in them.

As they carefully searched through seaweed and shallow pools, the pupils spotted a variety of marine life and learned about how these animals survive in their coastal habitat. The visit provided a wonderful opportunity to develop scientific enquiry skills and build confidence in the natural environment.

SNOW CLOSURE ACTIVITIES TUESDAY 6/1/26

Good morning everyone,

I hope you managed to enjoy some time outside in the snow yesterday.  It is a beautiful morning here, perfect some more snow play, if you can.

Here are some activities you might like to try before, during and after playing in the snow.

SNOW DAY LEARNING GRID The Snow Thief

Don’t forget to send me photos of what you’ve been up to so we can share them when we are all back together again.

Have a lovely day.

Sands of Sound

Despite a very windy day we went to Sands of Sound beach. We went to explore and see what was on the beach and what things we could find to play with. The tide was quite far out which gave us plenty of space to try writing and drawing in both wet and dry sand. Making sand angels was also great fun.
