P7S World War 2 Artefacts
Thank you so much to the two members of our class who brought in precious World War 2 artefacts for us to look at. It was great to hear you tell us all about your relatives and the different roles they played in WW2. Stories like these and artefacts for the class to hold really make our WW2 context come alive. Next week we are looking forward to Mrs Liddell joining us from Library Services. She will bringing a whole host of WW2 artefacts from Ration Books,Kit bags and ID cards to Gas Masks and medals.

NURSERY – SCOTTISH CELEBRATIONS
On the lead up to Robert Burn’s Day on 25th January the children have been enjoying practising simple Celidh dancing and Scottish songs and rhymes such as Three Craws, Wee Willie Winkie and Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny of the Bus. We have been discussing and having fun with Scottish words and language and been impressed by how many are familiar with slang words.
We will continue with our celebrations up to Robert Burns Day and then introduce Chinese New Year, this helps the children to learn about different cultures and traditions.
Bird Watch 2020
The children are participating in RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch 2020. They have enjoyed using binoculars to spot birds in the nursery garden/playground. To find out more information on how to take part please`check our Parent Information Board in the cloakroom or visit rspb.org.uk/birdwatch

Back from the Holidays – P5
This week we have been busy trying to get back into a routine in P5.
We are starting a few new topics this term. Our IDL topic is all about the rainforest and in P.E we will be taking part in gymnastics and health and fitness. We have also started using the literacy box to help with our reading comprehension.
Today, we all took part in the beep test to assess our level of stamina/fitness before starting the block of lessons that Miss Beattie has prepared for us. This means that when we do the beep test again at the end of our fitness block, we can see if we have made any improvements.
We have also been learning about how to give effective and constructive feedback to each other. We know that making mistakes and receiving feedback about our work is to help us get better at a skill and to improve our work.
P5 have been given the choice of 4 Scottish poems. They should pick 1 of these poems and learn it at home, ready to recite to their class on Wed/Thurs of next week. There will be 2 winners who will get to recite their poem at the Scots assembly on the 24th January. Remember – think about voice, tone, expression and actions! Good luck.
