P6 had great fun at their St Andrews Day Ceilidh on Monday night. Many thanks to all those who attended.

“We got revenge on our parents for making us tidy our room and making us eat shepherds pie by making them join in ceilidh dances!!”  Alex P6

“It was fun singing on the stage.”  Kalanah P6

“My Mum almost threw me into the crowd when we were dancing!” Euan P6

We started writing a Christmas book for children in the nursery. Watch our blog next week for an update on this.

We learnt all about the Learning Pit with Mrs Hocknull on Friday. It helps us learn and gives us strategies when we don’t know what to do.

P4 reflect on aspects of their learning at points throughout the day using our thought wall. They are posed a reflective question and write their own individual answer on their thought bubble.

P4 have been very busy learning all about the Learning Pit. The Learning Pit is a process that you go through when you are learning. We made our own mini pits and discussed how we were feeling on the way down to the bottom of ‘the pit’ then strategies we could use to help us learn and climb out of ‘the pit’.

We will be using these strategies every day in class when we are stuck with our learning.

“The Learning Pit is when you can struggle when you are learning and it makes you feel bad. The Pit helps you learn more and gives you ways to keep going.”  Josh P4

The Learning Pit helps you use strategies to help you get out of the Pit. I feel happy at the top.”   Brooke P4
