Archery and Canoeing in Green Class
Green class had so much fun last week when we had the chance to try out archery and canoeing. The pupils were amazing at archery and all hit the targets at least once. In the afternoon we went canoeing on the canal and it was super. We were paddling and then had water fights with sponges. We were all very wet but very excited! We can’t wait to do it again.
Green Class at Edinburgh Zoo
Green class had a super day out yesterday when they visited Edinburgh zoo with yellow class. We did a handling session and got to hold a snail, cockroach and a cornsnake. Next we visited the penguins and saw the koalas, wallabies, tigers and chimpanzees. Of course we had a little play at the park too!
Green Class at Sport’s Day

Healthy food exploration in Red Class
Throughout our growing topic, Red class have had lots of opportunities to explore different fruit and vegetables that are grown. Over the last two weeks we have tried lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, grapes, kiwi and orange. This week we were even using our fine motor skills to thread some fruit on skewers to make some edible caterpillars! Most of us thought they were delicious!
Group 1 Measuring Activities
Group 1 have been enjoying taking part in different measuring tasks. We have been reading books about measurement discovering ancient measurement of length was based on the human body. Group 1 explored different types of measurements including lengths, mass and volumes. We spoke about the different units of measurements and had a scavenger hunt to find different packages with measurements on. We used the i pads to explore google maps finding out the distance to some of our favourite places or places we’d like to visit. Fun was had using the trundle wheel outside and measuring rainfall in a beaker. The young people had fun making their own play dough counting cups. We then used our fraction work to try and split the play dough into equal parts using scales to see if we were accurate. One pupil used the play dough to help complete some equivalent fraction work. Fun was also had making numbers, letters and patterns with the play dough. We then used the measuring jug to make our own kinetic sand working hard to follow instructions and measure carefully.
Group 4 Blackburn Book trail
Group 4 recently completed a book trail around Blackburn which was run in conjunction with some of the other local schools. The pupils enjoyed visiting the different locations around Blackburn to find the clues.
The pupils were delighted to receive certificates for their participation in the book trail and Cody was the lucky winner of a £10 book token. Well done everyone!
