P4S Scottish Week

This week we have been learning lots about Scotland.  We wrote descriptions and drew pictures of Scottish landmarks, researched famous Scot’s and shared facts about them and designed our own Scottish tartan.  We all learned a poem and two of us recited them during our Scottish Assembly.   We had the opportunity to build a 3D model of Edinburgh Castle.  Look at this amazing example.  Very well done.

Scots Week in P5/4C

  • The pupils in P5/4C have been immersing themselves in the Scots language this week. They had great fun brainstorming all the Scots words they could think of and then created a Scots dictionary to support their writing later in the week.
    In writing, each pupil created a short descriptive piece about themselves using as many Scots words as they could- some great humour in evidence as well!  Later in the week they worked on colouring one of Scotland’s greatest inventions for our display- who doesn’t love a Tunnock’s Teacake??

 

NURSERY – Warm Clothing

Our children  have the opportunity to access their outdoor play area in all weathers and during group time we go for a walk in our local community.  To ensure they are prepared for the cold weather, please provide hat and gloves for your child and leave inside their backpack for easy access when they are getting dressed themselves ready to go out.

If you have any spare hats and gloves you no longer use please recycle by donating them to nursery.  We try to have a spare supply for children who have forgotten  to bring them. Thank you for your support.

Our School/Nursery PSA have kindly purchased  waterproofs for the children to wear when playing outdoors.   This was a much needed resource for the children’s outdoor play, which we are very grateful for.

To celebrate and put the waterproofs to good use, we will be arranging a ‘Welly Walk’ in the community with the children.  More details to follow soon.

As stated in Care Inspectorate ‘My World Outdoors’ 2016 publication

         ‘There is a growing body of research that shows that young children’s                access to nature and outdoor play is positively associated with                             improved self-esteem, physical health, development of language skills            and disposition to learning’   (Davy, 2009 (57))

 

 

Food Tasting P3R

In Science we are learning about our 5 senses.

Today we were finding out about the sense of taste.

Mrs Beattie had different foods for us to taste and we had to record whether they were sweet, sour, bitter or salty.

Lots of us liked the salty crisps …but the lemon was not the class favourite!

P2W Sounds of the Week and Money Madness

This week we have been super busy!

We have been learning our new sounds ‘igh’ and ‘y’. Miss Walkingshaw set us challenges this week during our Literacy time to see if we could find our new sounds hidden in a book chosen from our class library. We think we did a great job!

On Monday we always have Money Madness. This is our favourite lesson of the week!

This week we were learning how to add different coins together and coin recognition. We played lots of games with our friends which made learning about money so much fun!

One of our favourite games to play was Money Snap! We were super good at this and some of us even bet Miss Walkingshaw!
