P4/5 Garden Work

As you can see, the P4/5 have made a great start to the garden by painting the fence.  Many have said they can’t wait for Thursdays so they can get out to paint!  Next, we will move on to painting the planters.

We also had a visitor, in the form of Mrs Johnston’s dad, who worked with a group of children to measure out for a upright frame.  This frame will be used to grow sweetpeas, pea pods and sunflowers against.  Next week the children will use the measurements taken to work out how many garden canes will be needed for each frame.

Outdoor Maths

To warm up their brains, P2 were given different numbers to practise writing in the playground.

P2 have been working on directions in Maths and being able to use directional language.  They had to work with a partner to first of all draw out a route.  Then they have to give their partner directions using language such as: forward, backward, right, left, clockwise, anticlockwise, quarter turn and half turn.

Day for Change 2016

This year the RRSA Committee have decided to hold our school’s Day for Change on Friday 18th March.  To start the day, we will have a whole school sponsored walk around the village green dressed in our Onesies or PJs.  There will then we a cake sale at break time and afterwards the RRSA Reps will hold a mini assembly in each class to inform the pupils about Day for Change.

This year Day for Change focuses upon children living in emergencies and how their rights are not always met.  The money raised will go towards helping children in areas suffering from natural disasters, children living in violence, children living in worn-torn countries suffering from disease and refugee families who have no clean water.

Please look out for the sponsor sheet in your child’s school bag today and help towards one of our chosen charities. There is also a family challenge we would like all families to take part in!
