P1/2 working hard with our big buddies.
We enjoyed listening to the story “The Paper Dolls” by Julie Donaldson so much, that we wanted to make some of our own. Our P6/7 buddies came into class last week to help us. The next step is to cut them out and take them on some exciting adventures. Logan’s are going to the moon and Jenna’s plan to go dancing over a rainbow! Â Watch this space . . .
Some P1/2 Health Week Fun……..
Trying Thursday Health Week P2/3………
Our word for the week in P2/3 is “try”. This is to encourage us to try our best at all the activities we are doing this week and also relates to growth mindset which we have been learning about this week.
Yesterday we had the police come and talk to us about being safe on bonfire night.
We also had fun in music with Mrs Lang learning songs about being healthy and also practicing songs for our St Andrews Assembly later this month.
We also had a lot of fun trying kurling for the first time and everyone was really good and worked well in their teams!
We also took on a squat challenge at the start of the week. Using flower by Moby (song) we have to squat when the song says ‘down’ and stay squatting until the song says ‘up’. We managed the whole song yesterday! Watch a short clip of us doing it below:
Fresh air and exercise are good for you!
 Look at the fun we have had today…😀 We learned some new skills with Graeme in the MUGA, as well as experiencing outdoor learning with Mrs Doolan 😆
Beginning of Health Week in P2/3
P2/3 Have had a fun filled start to our Health week. On  Monday we started by doing some Yoga and Dance. Then in the the afternoon we went outside into the MUGA with Mrs McAlpine then Mr O’Toole showed us how to play Golf. On Tuesday we met Jake who took us for Judo which was great fun. Then Sandra did some Zumba which was really exciting! Then at the end of the day we went outside for a daily mile and collected some Autumn leaves to make pictures with them on Thursday.
Looking forward to the rest of the week!
Our New Topic!
After the holidays we will start our new topic Space!
We are all really excited about this and had loads of questions that we want to find out the answer to during our research of space. Have a look at some of the questions we will be exploring over the next few weeks.
P2/3 Autumn Mile
Whilst doing our daily mile today, we discovered that the leaves on the trees had gone orange, red and yellow. This meant that it was Autumn, just like we had discussed whilst reading ‘Bambi grows up’ during story time.
Read Write Count Event – SAVE THE DATE!

Parents Meetings
We are looking forward to meeting all of our parents and carers at the Parents Meetings on Friday.
This a great opportunity for us, when you are in school, Â to gather your views so there will be some “stalls” set up and we ask that you please visit them.
We are encouraging the children  to come along with you and join in the meeting, with their teacher; because we believe that they should be part of this discussion about them, but it is up to you.
If you are unsure of when your appointment is then please call us on 01506 653103.
Many Thanks
Mrs Brennan
