A reminder that each Tuesday P5A will be participating in outdoor PE and Outdoor Learning lessons.
This will be happening regardless of the weather, so please be mindful of the clothes your child wears in our unpredictable Scottish climate!
CHILDREN SHOULD WEAR THEIR PE KIT TO SCHOOL. They are NOT required to bring school uniform to change into.

On 21 May, which should have been the next Outdoor Classroom Day, we’re inviting you to celebrate your connection to the natural world by taking part in a variety of activities at home. Connecting to nature can restore our sense of wellbeing. For children, this connection is best made through play – whether outdoors in nature or indoors with natural elements. Please follow the link below for a range of ideas!

If it’s possible or you have the space, children could spend time playing outdoors on the day. Whatever you do, share it on social media on 21 May using #PlayfulNature tagging @BoghallPsch
Why not get involved in this competition with a chance to win a digital microscope! All you need to do is research and create a piece of work on a mini beast of your choice. Please remember to follow the latest Government advice and maintain social distancing. You’ll be surprised with what you can find in your garden or even in your house! Entries should be emailed to rebecca@ase.org.uk by the 12th June.

The BBC have put together a fantastic range of resources to support home learning. We really like this one today- It’s all about Rosa Parks. Just click on your child’s age and or stage to get relevant resources.
If you are looking for a fun, engaging way of supporting reading at home, we recommend this site. You can also download the app on to your device. It is completely free at the moment!

Rainforest in a Bottle
This week’s Family Learning idea is to create a terrarium in your own home! I will add these instructions to your class Seesaw! Good luck!
Miss Preston
What you will need to create your terrarium:
Watch this information clip before you start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rEBbF6wnSw&t=61s
| Step 1 | You will need an adult to help with this part. Mark your bottle approximately 1/3 from the bottom. Using the sharp scissors/knife ask your adult to cut around the bottle so you end up with 2 parts. | |
| Step 2 | From your garden or when you are out for your daily exercise collect some small pebbles or stones. These should then be placed in the base of the bottle. | |
| Step 3 | Collect some soil from your garden, a plant pot, the park and place it on top of the stones. The soil should be moist but not too wet. | |
| Step 4 | Pick some vegetation for example grass, moss, daisys etc. Place on top of the soil. No need to press it down or ‘plant it’. | |
| Step 5 | Now you need to make your terrarium air tight! This can be done using cellotape or by making four little slits around the top part of your bottle and placing it inside the base. | |
| Step 6 | Place your completed terrarium in a warm place that gets lots of sunlight for example on a window sill, conservatory. |
Keep a weekly record of any changes that happen within your terrarium. This could be in a table, as a cartoon strip with drawings, a photo timeline. Share your weekly updates via See Saw for your teacher to see.
