This morning there was a lot of excitement as the children found a frog in the nursery garden. It was hiding under a big log they moved.
Yazmine said “It had black stripes.”
Noah said ” It jumped away as Maxwell tickled it.”
Maxwell said ” I just wanted to it for it to jump away.”
The children had already spent a lot of time looking over at the log
where the were observing slug and wood louse.
Primary One have been enjoying the super weather this week! We enjoyed taking part in the sponsered fun run!
In maths, we have been learning about positional language and practised putting Wellow bear in different positions around the chair. We used words like beside, underneath, inside, behind etc. We also started to learn about our left and right! Can you remember the special trick Miss Rodford said would help us to remember our left and right!
Well done Primary One!
This month the nursery children have been learning about different life cycles. They have had the opportunity to see this taking place by having caterpillars in the nursery. The children have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and many have shown them to the parents when they come in to the nursery.
Unfortunately one of the butterflies had not came out of its cocoon when we released them so we left it beside the plants in the hope that it will survive.
Another busy week in P1/2. In maths we were practising our numbers to 20 and were looking at the numbers before and after other numbers.
We also spoke about positional language and looked at on top, behind, underneath, beside etc. We had great fun sitting penguin in the right position and then even tried it out ourselves! It was very funny when Mrs Lloyd asked everyone to go underneath their chair!
It was the sponsored fun run today and P1 and P1/2 were super stars in the really hot weather. They ran around the playground a few times and even took part in some super silly fun run races!
It was very tiring though!
This is P1/2 in relaxation mode afterwards!
To end off a super sunny day we read some books outside on the grass with our friends from P1.
The May Newsletter with details of our recent VSE, Transition Activities,Sponsored Fun Run, Excursion Policy, Dates for the rest of the term and the General Election closure has been uploaded to the Newsletter Folder on the right.
If you would like a paper copy – please ask at the school office.
Enjoy today’s beautiful sunshine!

Primary 1/2 have been working very hard this week. In maths, we learned about greater than, less than and equal to and used lolly sticks to make these symbols.
We also practised talking about 2D and 3D shapes. We talked about the sides, corners and faces and even felt the shapes in a feely bag and described them to our friends to see if they could guess the shape we were feeling!
As part of our technology work, we planned and designed a raft with our partner to help save Captain Blackbeard and help him get back to his ship. We used the results of our science investigation into which materials could float or sink to help us choose suitable materials to make the raft with. It was really fun!
Thanks again to Olivia’s gran who gave up her own time again this week to come in to read us some stories. The boys and girls always enjoy this and appreciate you coming in to work with us.
This week the nursery staff were informed that there were cygnets at the Lanthorn Pond so we had to go with the children to investigate this.
We then went up to the big pond to feed the ducks but we could only see the daddy ducks. We think the mummy ducks must be very busy.
We even managed to practice for sports day with races at the kick pitch.
Miss Rodford was very impressed with our raft building skills this week!
We had to work as a team to design a raft and think about what materials would be good for building a raft that would float. Then we chose different materials and used super team work skills to build the raft!
Finally, we got to predict and test out of our rafts would sink or float!
Have a look at our super pictures!
