Topsy and Tim were excited about their first day at school, meeting friends and enjoying lots of activities. What are you looking forward to?

Topsy and Tim had a smart new blue and white school uniform. Our school uniform is yellow and black. Can you draw a picture of what you will be wearing on your first day in Primary 1?

We would love to see your pictures!

N-P1 Transition Task – Week 4

Week 4 Transition Task

We hope you are enjoying the transition tasks so far – it has been lovely to see and hear about some of the activities you have been doing based around the stories we have shared so far 🙂

This week is another story for you. It’s called ‘Charlie and Lola – I am too absolutely small for school’. Please see details below for the story and a suggested activity.

Week 4 Transition Task – Charlie and Lola – I’m Too Absolutely Small For School

Hi everyone, here is your next transition activity.  It is all to do with the story book ‘Charlie and Lola – I Am Too Absolutely Small for School’.  If you have the book at home, then ask someone in your family to read it to you.  If you don’t have it, click on the link below to hear the story.

 Lola is a bit of a fussy eater so is not very sure about lunchtimes! Do you think you will try a school dinner, or take your own packed lunch?

Here is a little task for you.  Can you plan and prepare a healthy packed lunch that you might want to take to school?  You could do this by drawing it, or you could actually make up a packed lunch and eat it at home or in your garden!

Feel free to take some pictures and send them into us.  Have fun!

Hopscotch Performance

We are looking forward to welcoming Hopscotch to our school on Monday 2nd September to perform their new show ‘SPRING-Y’ to our P1-7 pupils.

This adventurous tale will show how friendship and bouncing back from adversity can be supported in Scottish schools. ‘SPRING-Y’ will be an amazing way to support our schools resilience message.

‘SPRING-Y’ is a touching tale about friendship, bouncing back and bending with the wind! It follows the story of Ash and Holly who have been best friends for years but now Holly has to move away. How will the two cope without each other? Together they come up with a plan so that their friendship will last forever.

P3R Health week

We had a great start to Health Week last Friday with the Super Half Marathon. Thank you to everyone who has returned sponsor money.

We had super weather for our Sports Day on Monday.

On Tuesday we were learning about why some people have to take medicines and the importance of using medicines safely.

On Wednesday we got to taste the smoothies we made by cycling on the Smoothie bike!

 

And finally on Thursday got to work on our football and rugby skills.

We  can talk about why exercise and fitness are important for our bodies and we had a lot of fun in Health Week!

 

P1 Learning

Everyone in P1 has been having fun in our Block Play area.   These are just a few of our super creations!   We can plan our construction before we start to build and have been very good at collaborating with our friends.

P7 Residential Experience at Lockerbie Manor

LOCKERBIE MANOR

Our P7 pupils visited Lockerbie Manor last month for a week of outdoor activities and new experiences. The weather was rather challenging for them and in true Scottish style they experienced wind, rain, hail and sun all in one week! The pupils showed determination and perseverance with the activities and the Lockerbie Manor staff commended them on their good behaviour and positive attitude. Here are some more pictures taken by Mrs Aitken when she visited them at camp.

Lendrick Muir – Day 2

Our P5 pupils and staff are having an enjoyable time at Lendrick Muir. There were lots of smiling faces when I went along to visit them this afternoon and a few tired looking faces too! Everyone has been enjoying their activities and they’ve managed to avoid most of the heavy rain showers! There was lots of excited chat about their favourite activities so far and highlights of their first school residential.

Below are a few photos from Lendrick Muir. We’re looking forward to seeing lots more photos and hearing all about their experiences once their back home. I think everyone will be in need of their holiday weekend to recover from their fun-filled trip away.
