It was  lovely to see so many of you in school yesterday afternoon. As always, there was a positive buzz around the school with smiling children and adults. The children did a brilliant job of showing you what they love about learning in all the different subjects. I hope you all went away feeling informed about your child’s strengths.

We had lots a great comments from you. You enjoyed seeing the variety of learning styles and varied opportunities. Many noted the enthusiasm children have for the creative learning that takes place.

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.

Primary pupils ART entries at Bonhoga

Pupil have been working very hard on different art forms for the exhibition that is currently running at the Bonhoga Gallery until the 3rd November. Sarah Hoseason , our art teacher at school, has done a fantastic job, showcasing the amazing work of the pupils. Thank you Sarah.

Here is what Sarah shared with us about the different projects the pupils have been involved with:

P1 and 2 made clay seals looking at shape and form. 

P3 and P4 made their own warp using string. They wove the weft from sea rope, organza and yarn – lots of numeracy and recycling! 

P5 – P7 – could choose from different projects. The copper wiring was cut from dumped electrical cable. The class were taught 3 bending techniques using pliers. Basket-making used dumped sea ropes. The felting was made from Shetland fleece.
