We had lots of fun at sports day, trying our best, cheering each other on and then we’re very very proud of ourselves.

Bigton Farm and St Ninians
What better way to spend the first international day of play than to be outdoors exploring all day. We started our day at Bigton Farm where Amy showed us farm life, we fed pigs and were up close with many animals. We then spent time at St Ninians beach before eating lunch at Dunrossness school and heading to the park on the way home. We are so grateful to our hosts at the Dunrossness school and Bigton Farm for bringing learning to life for Primary 1.
Teddy Bears
P1A have been learning to mix colours and use templates. The children have worked hard to create lovely combinations of colours.
Hot Cross Buns – steady beat & boomwhackers
We have been learning a song about Hot Cross Buns. We practised keeping a steady beat and we suggested lots of different ways we could keep the beat like tapping our heads or shoulders, or clicking our fingers in time.
We have also learned about Boomwhackers and how they are used to create different sounds of different pitches. We worked out that the longer the boomwhacker, the lower the pitch of the note and the smaller the boomwhacker, the higher the pitch of the note.
In the clip below, you can see the class performing the song ‘Hot Cross Buns’ using boomwhackers.
