We had a brilliant visit from The Royal Botanic Garden from Edinburgh this week.
We went on a scavenger hunt to find certain plants and special colours. When we found them, we took them back to the Gym and made a special setting for a story about a girl called Heather. In the story, she met a fairy, an Uirsk, a Bogle and a Ghillie Dhu. They helped her find her way home. She knew she was home when she saw the yellow flowers all around her cottage.
We had fun learning a little French rhyme!
Bonjour Fifi et Blanche! 🙂
We have been looking for shapes in the environment. We found lots of shapes outside and even more inside school!
We used tally marks to help us count how many we found and even managed to count in 5s! 🙂
In PE we have been working with the games equipment, developing our individual skills.
We went on a lovely walk on an even lovelier day to spot signs of Autumn. Amazingly, lots of the leaves were all the beautiful shades of Autumn and falling gently to the ground! A rare Autumn indeed! 🙂
P6 lead our buddying session this week, making friendship bracelets with our class. An extra challenge for P6 and P2 was to learn to tie their shoelaces! 2 bairns actually learned during the session. Well done to Dylan and Aalia! 🙂
Joy lead a showcase of all this term’s drumming for P1, P2 and Nursery bairns. What great fun and an excellent show for all!
What a great time we have had over the last few weeks with Joy! She has taught us all about beat, timing, drumming and having fun!
At the end of the last lesson with Joy, the bairns played the sleepy game. Joy played her drum and they all danced and when the music stopped they all went to sleep while being serenaded those who were happy to sing. 🙂
We have really enjoyed Numeracy Week. First we collected resources to make our own games.
We painted the stones and put the number sequences we are learning on the cups.
Then we played the games.
Finally we taught our buddies in P6 how to play all our games. 
We’ve had a brilliant week and love our new games!
We had a lovely afternoon walking with our buddies, looking for different types of housing in our local area. Then we had some fun together at the playpark! 🙂
