P6/7 Reflect on our Nurture Afternoon

2 Comments

Today, we spoke a lot about the benefits of our Nurture afternoon yesterday, when we spent time with members of our family and our staff watching a film. We discussed how us, our families and our school form a triangle and we’re always thinking of ways to help strengthen the bonds between all three parts of the triangle. We decided that the stronger these links are, the more successful learners we will become. Here are some quotes about what people in our class thought about yesterday:

“It really brought the school together and made everyone friendlier”

Macauley

“It brought our school community together”

Tiegan

“We learned about friendship”

Oliwier

“It gave us time to bond with our families”

Katie

“It showed us how similar we all are”

Coni

“It lets our families bond with our school and the staff”

Calvin

“It gave us time to relax and have fun with our families and our teachers”

Trying Thursday Health Week P2/3………

Leave a comment

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:

Fireworks Safety Talk

Leave a comment

A really interesting discussion with PC Chris and PC Carol Ann today.

fireworks2A massive thank you to them for coming in and having a safety chat with us.

Key messages were:

Stay safe with fireworks.

Under 18 year olds are not permitted to have fireworks.

Keep your distance (at least 25 m) from fireworks and bonfires.

Do not return to or go near fireworks which have been lit.

Fireworks are loud and can frighten people.  Make sure pets and young children are kept inside during home displays and be mindful of neighbours.

Make sure your blue bins are out of harm’s way.
