This week P6/5 have been learning the Military Two Step and the Gay Gordans.

We enjoyed working collaboratively and having fun with our friends.

P2/1 and P3/2 are having a great time celebrating Scottish Book Week! On Wednesday we had a book bag gifting event, where every child received a bag of new books and games from the Scottish Book Trust. We had so much fun reading our new books, playing games and drawing the characters with online help from one of the illustrators.

P2/1 had their second session with Kids Gone Wild this week, and the skills development and imagination they showed was fantastic. Children found Big-Foot tracks and rainbow fox houses in the ground, developing their talking and listening as they shared exciting ideas and discoveries. They climbed trees, rocked in hammocks and flew down a zip line, building their gross motor skills. They collaborated to take turns, build dens and create treasure trails with arrows and an ‘x’ marking the spot. But most of all, they had a fantastic, memorable day in nature together.

In celebration of Children in Need, we held a talent show today. We have a very talented bunch of learners at Longridge Primary School and a very supportive audience too!

P7/6 were learning about circuits in science this week. We can now identify the symbols that represent all the components in an electrical circuit. We drew our own circuit diagrams using these symbols and were able to identify whether or not the circuits would work based on their components. Most impressively of all we used our critical thinking skills to troubleshoot when things went wrong, identifying the cause of any problems with our circuits and suggesting solutions to fix them.
