Fond memories of Fun Day…

Stay and Play in The Den
Today we had an absolutely fabulous time with our parents and carers in The Den. Our parents and carers joined us for choosing time, snack and mindfulness. Firstly we chose what to play with our carers, we enjoyed showing them the many different activities we take part in when we are in The Den. We then had a breakfast of croissants, butter, jam, strawberries, blueberries and fruit juice – we thought this was delicious! Finally, we all took part in mindfulness, today’s story was ‘The Little Mermaid’. We really enjoyed having our parents and carers in The Den today and we are looking forward to inviting them in again soon.
P2/3 PE
This week in PE with Mrs Moyes, P2/3 learned how to play a new playground game. They learned how to play ‘Capture the Flag’. This involved listening to instructions very carefully and working as a team. They really enjoyed this and are keen to play the game with their friends in the playground.
Mindfulness in The Den
In The Den we have been learning about Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is “The practice of being aware of your body, mind, and feelings in the present moment, thought to create a feeling of calm.”
To create this feeling of calm we close the blinds, find a space to lie on a beanbag on the floor, turn off the light and listen to calming music. We also practise our deep breathing. We finish the session by having a big stretch and each of us says something positive that has happened so far that day. This helps us to go back to class feeling calm and positive.
Rooky Rockstars
We’ve been enjoying learning the new songs with Rooky Rockstars this week. Today we wrote about our experiences so far. We are recording our CD tomorrow and we are performing in our concert next Thursday.
P3’s adventure to Low Port
P3 children enjoyed a fantastic couple of days at Low Port Outdoor Education Centre. The weather was especially kind to us and we had fun taking part in different activities ,such as Orienteering, visit to the canal centre and a woodland adventure at Beecraigs. We all enjoyed the disco on the Thursday evening and the children took great delight in watching Mrs Walker and Mrs Morrison show off their moves on the dance floor!! All children behaved well and were a credit to themselves, their parents and the school. Well done boys and girls. Photographs will be uploaded to the blog next week.
P2/3 Wedding
P2/3 had a class ‘wedding’ last week – the day before the Royal wedding. We’ve been learning about weddings and enjoyed taking on different roles. We rearranged our classroom, and we recycled our castle walls from our castle topic and transformed our class. We used named lolly sticks drawn at random to allocate who would have each role, and then we all got dressed up in costumes.
After our ‘wedding’ we had a parade to share our learning with other classes in the infant department. We had a great time.

Tricky sounds!
Today a group of Primary 3 children practised a sound that they find tricky – ‘aw’. We searched for words that had ‘aw’ in them (claw, straw, awful, hawk, etc), we practised making the words with magnetic letters and we made ‘aw’ words that we matched to pictures. Next time we are going to practise ‘au’ – it sounds the same, but it looks different!
P2/3 Respect Assembly
This week Primary 2/3 led the school values assembly. Our value is RESPECT and we shared our ideas and a song with everyone.
Den Group
This week, the children were so excited to invite a friend or an adult from home to the den. They had great fun showing their special visitor around our wonderful den and then spending time playing with each other. Thank you for coming to visit us!
