P1a Eco Art
We have been enjoying talking about ‘Life Below Water’ for Eco fortnight. Today we started using some of the plastic waste we have collected to create our own sea creatures and we thought we would share some of the ideas we have had so far.

Outdoor Fun in P1
Primary 1 have settled back in well after the Easter Holidays. On Monday we enjoyed some time out in the playground practising lots of different skills. We were split into four groups and worked our way around some different activities. It was so much fun!
We collected some sticks and stones and used these to help us make number stories of 7, we used chalk to think of words that rhymed with some different patterns and some of us even had a go at making up our own rhyming words. We also enjoyed role playing in the builders and farm shop literacy sheds and even played some parachute games.
We are looking forward to using the outdoor classroom more this term. Take a look at us in action!
Easter Fun in Nursery
Successful Learners in P1b……
Another busy week in P1b. This week we have been practising our numbers to 20. We have been sequencing the numbers in order and have even been building numbers using tally marks.
We have also been working on our numbers stories of 6 and have practised them in lots of different and exciting ways!
In our non-number maths we have been learning about fractions and have been looking at halves and quarters. Some of the children even thought up their own fractions activity using the iPads!
Last week we planned and designed some new and strong houses for the three little pigs. The big bad wolf visited our class this week (AKA Mrs Lloyd with a hairdryer!) and he huffed and he puffed and he managed to blow some of the houses down! We predicted which ones would blow down and spoke about what was good about the houses and what we would do better next time.
The next day something strange happened………………..
Two beautiful fairy doors appeared outside our class and our three pigs houses disappeared! We think that the dragon came and got them and took them back to Fairyland. We keep wondering what you would find if you went through the doors and are on the look out for the dragon coming back!
Finally, lots of fun was had during golden time when some of us used the letters to spell out our names.
Right of the Fortnight!
The right of the Fortnight is …..
Article 7
You have the right to a name and this should be officially recognized by the government. You have the right to a nationality!
Primary Four thought about what this meant …
‘It gives you your own identity’ ! Caitlin
‘It means you can travel and get a job’ Kieran!
Come and see the other ideas on the rights respecting wall display !!!
Wim Wims Everywhere!
On Wednesday, we had an exciting visit from Badger and Laura! They had come to judge the Wim Wim competition. They were really impressed by the range of Wim Wims which were made!
Ayla was the lucky winner of the competition!
Super work to those that made a Wim Wim!
Nursery World Book Day
As part of the belated World Book Day the nursery children had the pleasure of judging each classes decorated door related to a book. Their opinions were listened to by the children putting the thumbs up if they liked the doors.
P3/4 & P4 Fairtrade Cluster Event
Miss Rodford and I were very proud of our classes today at theFairtrade Cluster Event at the Lanthorn. Everyone was a great ambassador of Bankton Primary School and listened carefully to every presentation and sang along to the songs. A special thanks to Samantha, Jamie, Josh for talking about their posters and class activities as well as to Niamh for introducing our song.
