What a busy first week of term it was! We had several visitors in school last week and the children enjoyed all of the interesting information they had to share with us. The PDSA came to share a whole school assembly and an exciting project was launched by Jacqueline from the Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity. The school will be taking part in Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail and we have to decorate a statue of Oor Wullie. All children will contribute towards this over the coming week by drawing their own comic strip of Oor Wullie and his adventures. The statue will then be returned to the Charity to be added to the trail which we will all be able to take part in over the summer holidays. We are all very exicted.
Last week saw the closing date of the Young Writer’s Poetry Patrol Competition and we are now all eagerly awaiting the publication of the book so we can see all our hard work in print.
Some of the children’s highlights are as follows:-
Olly enjoyed learning how to make an origami caterpillar.
Luke N and Freya enjoyed listening to Emma from the PDSA telling us about Canine Communication. Jarrad enjoyed the whole school assembly where the children learned more about pets.
William said he enjoyed learning a new game in PE, Team Dodgeball.
Lots of the children enjoyed the assembly from Jacqueline at the Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity. She introduced us to Oor Wullie and launched Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail.
Kayden enjoyed when we did number talks and Mr Valentine came to watch.
Finn liked when we learned about money.
Teme and Harris Si enjoyed when the class were learning about rounds in Music. Mrs Stewart said they were very quick to pick up how to sing a round and Mrs Clyne agreed that the children did very well to learn how to sing in a two-part round in only one day.
