Growing Our Garden

P2/1 continue to enjoy lots of outdoor play and learning in our fabulous garden, recently renovated with huge thanks to the parent council who arranged for artificial grass, play bark and sturdy outdoor tables to be installed in the spring.

Children absolutely love using this area, so they’ve teamed up with P3/2 for a collaborative project to continue developing and improving the outdoor space. We got started this week by clearing out the summer’s debris, and have begun planting in the remaining area to welcome more nature. The children have big ideas and we’re only just getting started – we plan to invite families, neighbours and friends to help with a ‘gardening party’ very soon… watch this space!

Planning out our ideas in the floorbook.

Fun at Silver Sands

P7/6 had a great time at Aberdour on Wednesday. We played on the sand showing off that toolkit skill of collaboration and some of us were even brave enough to have a paddle in the water too. We have been learning about description in writing and today we wrote a descriptive recount about our day at Aberdour using our class describing bubble to help us with adjectives.

P3.2 Writing

On Wednesday, the whole school enjoyed a trip to Aberdour Beach. We had lots of fun playing in the sand, building sandcastles and playing in the water. Today, during our writing lesson we described our time at the beach using adjectives, describing bubble and our 5 senses.

Art in P4

This week we took ourselves outside for our art lesson. We used our creativity and critical thinking skills to collect natural resources and created a twig person. The pupils had a great time enjoying the outdoors while making some lovely artwork!

P2/1 are off to a great start!

Our new P1 pupils have made a fantastic start at school, learning our school rules and values from their P2 classmates and their P7 buddies. We have made the most of the lovely weather in our garden, and have already started making plans to continue to improve this amazing space. There has been lots of fun and learning inside and outside the classroom including stories, singing, painting, building campsites and trains, reading together, learning to write, balancing, throwing and catching, measuring, counting and parachute games.

This class are showing wonderful listening skills and eagerness to learn. The P2s are doing a great job of showing kindness to their new classmates and helping them settle in, and the P1s are loving all the new opportunities to explore.
