Stay and Play Days

It was lovely to meet the children who are moving into Primary 1 after the holidays.

Activities were all based in the outdoor area and it was so lovely to see the bairns playing so happily together. It was also a great opportunity to meet all the parents.

They explored the wildlife garden and were delighted to meet our resident frog who was quite happy to be admired.

All the children received the book ‘Bobby and the Burland Pearls’ which we read out at the Learning Logs.

 

The children had 4 sessions at the school and the weather was amazing so we were very lucky. They got to toast marshmallow on the Firepit, play games, sing songs and do some craft activities on the third session.

The final session was all about having fun, saying goodbye to the Early Years Staff a little farewell party.

Moving Up Day into P1/2

After listening  to the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff it was straight into some STEM challenges. The children had to start to build a bridge  until they met up with their partner who was building towards them from the opposite side of the river. They could only choose 20 blocks each.

Then of course we had to make some goats and even a troll or two to go under the bridges!

And the final shot of the river with all those bridges, goats and trolls!
