In the nursery we are celebrating Scottish maths week by focusing on the story Goldilocks and the 3 bears. The children have been making porridge, focusing on following the recipe and measuring out the ingredients. Once the porridge was “Just right” the children have been eating it “all up”.
We have had a busy start and welcomed many new children this term. All new children have settled in well and have been keeping busy exploring the nursery. The children have been planting and harvesting vegetables, bathing dolls in our water tray, building super structures, looking for bugs and have had great fun playing in the garden.
What did you get up to for the 7 weeks that you weren’t at Blackburn Primary School? Did you have an amazing time? Or did you miss us so much that you just didn’t know what to do with yourself? Did you:
We want to know!
Your challenge is to create a display to show us what you did over the summer holidays. It may include: photographs, your own drawings, pictures, words and phrases. You may even decide to write us a story about your adventurous summer?
You may wish to do this on the computer and upload your work to our school blog to show us at a feedback assembly.
We want this work to be displayed for visitors to see how we have been keeping busy. You may wish to invite Miss Clarkson and/or Mr Page to your class if your work is saved on the computer.
Good luck with your first homework challenge and we are looking forward to seeing your finished work by Friday 31st of August.
Miss Clarkson & Mr Page
Head Teacher & Acting Principal Teacher

A1 have enjoyed being back to school this week and have been super busy harvesting apples from the sensory garden. Last year we only had enough apples to make a pudding or two. However, this year we have had so many we decided we would love it if you would help yourself to a recipe sheet and a bag of apples when you are next in the school and treat yourself to some homemade apple crumble – yummy!
The sun shone down on the Blackburn Primary and Hopefield Nursery children, their parents and families, and the nursery staff on Saturday as we all had a wonderful time walking in the Blackburn Gala Day parade. Ben and Holly was our theme, and the children all looked amazing dressed in their costumes, as did the families and staff who joined in the walk. A big thank you as well to all the children and their family members who helped create much of the costume parts, such as the crowns, horns and wands. Brilliant job !
So well done all the children who dressed as Ben, Hollie, Gaston, and other characters … each and every one of you did your school, nursery and Blackburn proud !
 
  
   
 
 
 
 
 
Yesterday afternoon A2 could be found out in the sensory garden creating our own clay creatures in the trees. We had to find different natural materials to make a face in the trees. We had everything from Buttercup eyes to leafy hair. Some were certainly quite stylish!
As our current topic in Primary 1/2 is based on the story, “The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch”, we were lucky enough to have a classroom visit from a real live lighthouse keeper . Mr. Riding’s dad, Charlie, came in to talk to us yesterday about being one of the last lighthouse keepers in Scotland on the Bellrock Lighthouse off the coast of Arbroath. He told us about his life and work and we were fascinated by his tales of danger and life at sea. He brought a very precious light bulb with him form the actual lighthouse.
