Forest Nursery
Well today was very exciting in nursery, we started our Forest Nursery! The children had the opportunity to explore the local woodland. We discussed how to keep safe, with great responses to “watch out for branches”, “jaggy nettles”, “tripping up”, “getting poked” we also had to watch out for “The Gruffalo” and “Tigers”.
There was wonderful imaginative play when we found a witches broomstick and had a hunt for her! We used the trees as seesaws, swings and to hide behind during hide and seek.
Help was on hand from the children to build a shelter for snack and then a story before we headed back back to school.
Shared Spooky Story
Thank you for supporting our Shared Spooky Story this morning and for all of the effort that was put into your costumes. It was great fun and helped to raise the importance of reading for enjoyment.
The pupils enjoyed sharing a story with their family members and teachers. The catering staff also entered into the fun. Well done !
Feast of All Saints
The school will attend Mass at 10 am on Wednesday 1st of November to celebrate the Feast of all Saints.
Shared Spooky Story
We are working throughout this session to increase the amount of time we all spend reading for enjoyment. As part of this focus we are hosting a series of reading events in school. Just a reminder that the first of these will take place tomorrow from 8.30 am -9.00 am. Adults and children are being encouraged to come to school in their Hallowe’en costume and bring their favourite scary story to read with the adult in their classroom. There will be books available in the classroom too. It promises to be a great fun event, so come along and join in. We will be posting photographs of this event on the school blog.

P6R Magic Wands
Primary 6R had a busy afternoon making these magical masterpieces. We collected sticks and decided to make them into magic wands.
We used a variety of different materials and here are the finished results.
Jack J – “I enjoyed the fact we done it and Julia was able to go to the other class to show her wand.”
Julia – “I enjoyed decorating the stick because it was fun using the materials.”
Ella – “I liked have lots of materials to choose from.”
Jack W – “I like how it was creative and you could make whatever you want.”
Anthony – “I liked how we got to create our own wands and i liked putting different materials on it.”
Andris – “It was fun and i liked it.”
Millie – “I like how my wand has an upside down bow on it.”
Kai – “It was really good, but really messy!”
Mason – “I liked it because it was creative and mine looks like a slingshot.”
Rebecca – “I enjoyed picking up the sticks on the way home from the Owl Centre.”
