Rain, mud and teamwork… P3/2 had a fantastic time at Kids Gone Wild despite the cold, rainy and muddy conditions. The children showed excellent team working skills to take turns on the zip line, they helped each other onto the zip line and bouncy net, and had so much fun searching for frogs. Despite getting muddy and wet, the class had so much fun and it was great to see them communicating, sharing ideas and supporting one another. A lot of fun was had!

P2/1 have been exploring another seasonal event this week. In the gym hall children worked collaboratively to create firework dances – there was lots of spinning, sparkling, energy and dramatic flair!

Back in the classroom fireworks inspired our literacy with a themed word hunt around the classroom and a listening lotto challenge. We enjoyed our first collaboration session with our nursery friends, which offered the chance to create some beautiful art, make our own sparklers and role play using them safely, and share our knowledge about staying safe at bonfire celebrations in the floorbook.

Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our first Curriculum Cafe of the year, it was lovely to share our improvement priorities with you as well as the work the children have been doing outdoors. We look forward to seeing you at our next cafe where we will share our journey developing our approach to Building Thinking Classrooms.

We’ve had a lovely morning celebrating Halloween and the children have had a great time at their party with dancing, party games and a Halloween parade!

Primary 7 were all good sports and took part in a P7 challenge, being served some ‘delicious’ donuts. Unfortunately some of the donuts had been tampered with by an evil witch and had some very usual fillings!

Finally, there were 101 reasons for the staff to enjoy Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone!
