Super Book Day Costumes !!!

March 3, 2017 Miss Rodford Leave a comment

This week in Primary One, we have been learning how to find missing number in number stories to 7. We also have been learning how to use tally marks to create barcharts. We found out that our favourite fairy tale was Cinderella!

On Thursday, it was World Book Day and we all dresses up as a book character. Miss Rodford was impressed with all our costumes!!

In the afternoon, we thought about why bedtime stories were special!

I like bed time stories becuse they make me sleepy!

I like bedtime stories because they make me smile!

We also got another letter from the Friendly Dragon, who asked for our help to build a new castle. On Wednesday, we got into groups and designed a castle which we will attempt to build next week!

Well done Primary One! Super Work!

World Book Day

March 2, 2017 Miss Rae Leave a comment

As part of World Book Day the nursery children had the opportunity to dress up as characters from various books and they also had the pleasure of Primary 4 and Primary 4/5 children sharing stories with them. Some older children brought books to share with others and some children borrowed the nursery books.

We even managed a wee play together after sharing their love of reading.

What’s the Time Mr Wolf?

February 24, 2017 Mrs Lloyd 2 Comments

P1/2 have been busy thinking about all the different Fairytales we know to help us plan a display in time for World Book Day. We started work on some of the different parts of our display and had great fun making knights to guard the castle, designing our own gingerbread men, sketching the big bad wolf, making leaves for a beanstalk, making some of the different characters from the story and designing our own dragons.

While we were busy with our art work we were really lucky to have Olivia’s gran come in to read us stories in the library corner. We enjoyed having you read to us and thank you very much for taking the time to come in and visit us.

In maths we have been learning to read o’clock times and to set the hands on a clock to show different o’clock times. We even noticed some o’clock times on our classroom clock afterwards!

While we were learning about time, we were also revising our addition and missing number sums. Lots of people are working really hard and producing good quality independent work.

Keep up the good work boys and girls. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished fairytale display.

Today the nursery children had great fun playing in the snow even although it didn’t last for very long. They were all set with waterproof trousers and wellies with most of the children enjoyed going down the wet slide.

We have been using different objects like cubes, paperclips and pennies to measure a variety of objects.

We have also enjoyed taking part in health week and thinking about why exercise is good for our bodies ! On Wednesday, we took part in gymnastics and on Thursday we learnt how to play handball! Handball was our favourite!

Well done P1!

Hunt for the Big Bad Wolf

February 17, 2017 Miss Rae Leave a comment

This week in the nursery we have been focusing on Little Red Riding Hood where most of the children are able to retell this story using visuals. We spoke about personal safety as Little Red Riding Hood was told not to talk to anyone on the way to grandma’s house and how the Big Bad Wolf was very naughty. We went on a hunt to the local woods to see if we could find the Big Bad Wolf.

We didn’t manage to find the Big Bad Wolf but we did find out that they are working on replacing the bridge over the pond and we will keep an eye on the progress of this.

An active week in P2/3!

February 17, 2017 Mrs Thomson Leave a comment

P2/3 have really enjoyed taking part in a variety of activities for health week this week.

On Wednesday we joined Primary 2 in the hall to play a variety of games. Miss Edmond and I were impressed with the super team work during the games. There were some very red faces after playing the cat and mouse game!! Well done to our class winners Jack, Daniel and Oskar! Special mention to Daniel and Izaak who developed the tactic of standing really still near the wall and hoping no one would notice them!! (there are more photos of this session in Miss Edmond’s blog post)

Yesterday we had a session learning handball skills. We learned about the correct way to carry and dribble the ball and we even managed to move while putting the ball through our legs!!

Today we were learning about how to hold a golf club correctly and had a go at putting and using a full swing to hit the ball. The coach was very impressed by how many of the children managed to get the ball in the air!

P2’s health week

On Wednesday P2 were joined by P2/3 to play some team games in the hall. The children worked very well together and used excellent skills to work out the best strategies for their team. Please visit P2/3’s blog post to see photos of the Cat and Mouse game!

P2 were excited to take part in a handball session and learn about how to safely throw and catch a ball. Miss Edmond was impressed at how well the children in P2 could dribble the ball and pass the ball between their legs!

Have a lovely weekend resting after a busy week, P2!
