SportaFUNd Thursday 19th April
Below is information which has already been circulated through letter, email, facebook and twitter about our upcoming SportaFUNd day. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference.
SportaFUNd
Dear parent/carer
As you will be aware, the school’s SportaFUNd Day is on Thursday 19th April within the school. We are holding a Sponsored Mile long obstacle course, various stalls in the playground including face painting, beat the goalie and soak the teacher amongst others and a Bake Sale to support former pupil Abby Cowan on her trip to Rwanda to build a new school.
All monies raised within the bake sale goes to Abby’s trip. All monies raised by the nursery will go towards new nursery play equipment. All monies raised by P1-P7 and the money from the various stalls goes to the school for new playground equipment, new PE equipment and towards the cost of transport to various sporting events.
For all of this to happen we need your support please. We are looking for baking donations, volunteers to help at the various stalls and volunteers to support the obstacle course. All 15 members of the Sports Committee will be supporting the event too.
Below is a timetable for the day.

Even if you can only help for a short while we would really appreciate it. If you cannot support you are welcome to come along and support your child at the appropriate time above.
Children are encouraged to wear sports kit from any clubs or teams they represent out with school. Football strips will be allowed on this day. Those children who represent any of the school teams will be allowed to wear a school strip. PE kit or a tracksuit are also allowed. The assault course is outside so please ensure your child has a change of clothing as they may get dirty.
On the day the bake sale will take place in the gym hall from 9am – 12. All of the other stalls will take place in the school playground. Most of the stalls will cost between 50p and £1.
Can you please ensure your child’s sponsorship money is delivered to the school office as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.

P1M Learning Reflection W/E 16th March
What another busy week in P1M. We have been busy preparing for our assembly. We learned the ‘oo’ sound and the tricky word ‘are’ in Literacy. We wrote about our Granny and why they are special. In Maths, we have been looking at sharing. We have enjoyed playing games such as make it fair and discussing whether something is fair or not. We also did yoga and went litter picking with our P7 buddies. Here are a few of the children’s reflections on the week:
Mathew: I enjoyed yoga.
Amelia: I enjoyed litter picking.
Jaxon: I enjoyed litter picking with my P7 buddy.
Safia: I liked learning the tricky word are.
Jan: I found taking part in the school fitness week tricky.
Lewis: I enjoyed all my learning this week.
Cali: I found it easy doing the Trolls yoga.
P1M Weekly Learning Reflection Week ending 9th March
What another busy week for P1M. In writing we enjoyed sharing our snow adventures and then writing them down. We are focussing on using a capital letter and full stop at the moment. In Literacy we were learning the vowel diagraphs ‘igh’ and ‘ow’. We were able to think of a lot of words with these sounds then word build them. In Maths we have been learning how to tell the time, o’clock and half past times only. We can tell the time on an analogue clock and are beginning to recognise these times on a 12 hour digital clock. Using the computers we tried to draw a picture of the different types of transport from where we live and where Katie Morag lives on the island of Struay. Here are a few of our reflections on the week:
Cali: I liked learning to tell the time when it was o’clock on a digital clock
Anya: I enjoyed learning the sounds ‘igh’ and ‘ow’. I found it tricky using the computers to draw a picture of a mode of transport.
James: I liked learning the new tricky word ‘was’.
Mathew: I enjoyed learning the new sounds.
Calum: I enjoyed learning the ‘ow’ sound. I found it tricky to learn ‘igh’ as it was three letters but only one sound.
Jan: I liked our tricky learning this week. I found it tricky learning to read digital times.
Amelia: I enjoyed telling the time.
Enter The Dragon
Over the last couple of days Matthew and Logan Y have been working on creating a Chinese Dragon Head….the finished piece is brilliant with lots of thought and detail. Well done boys, what a fantastic piece of Lego engineering.
P1K Star of the Week
Lego Challenge -The Great Wall of LVPS
Continuing on with our China topic, today’s challenge was to create a watchtower and walls based on our recent research of The Great Wall of China. The children worked in groups of three, using our Lego Challenge Roles to support their learning. Each group planned their tower, thinking about the size constraints and had great fun finally building their creations.
The final challenge was to link them altogether to great our own version of The Great Wall of China … and we did it!
Well done P5, what a terrific bunch of architects and engineers you are.

Snow day challenges
Hope you are all staying cosy and warm, however if the children need some challenge –
1.
- Take a cupful of snow and time how long it takes to melt in the house.
- Take a second cup of snow and wrap it in a scarf, time how long it takes to melt.
- Take a third cup and wrap it in plastic- how long does it take to melt.
- Take a fourth cup and try and idea of your own to keep the cup cold, and time how long the snow takes to melt. Remember if it is a fair test everything must be the same except one thing. So same size cups, same place in the house. the only change is what it is wrapped in.
Let me know if you have any other science ideas.
2.
- Put food colouring in balloons and add water thenleave them out in the snow to freeze, when you cut the balloon off they look like giant colourful marbles apparently! Not very sciency but hopefullyfun!
3.
- ? Do you have any other ideas?
