We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.
Library Club – 20/09/18
Last week at Library Club we thought about sharing. Moira read The Smartest Giant in Town written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The giant showed us how happy it made him feel when he could share and help.
We then helped each to make friendship bracelets. Have a look at our 25 children and families working together and sharing skills.
Families Learning Together
We had a fantastic turn out for our first Families Learning Together session today. Families joined their children so they could share their learning in their jotters so far this term. They also had the opportunities to give two stars and a wish about their learning. Thank you to everyone who made it along.
Apps to support maths and numeracy learning

Learning about Harvest
Primary 1 have been learning about autumn time and harvest. Today we were talking and learning about Harvest in particular. We watched a power point and discussed how vegetables and fruit are harvested – from under the ground, above the ground and from trees/plants. Afterwards we unwrapped a range of vegetables and had the opportunity to use our senses to investigate. Tomorrow we will be able to look even closer at our vegetables using magnifying glasses and peeling the layers off to explore inside.
