Pumphie Pals: Golden Time Consultation
As Golden Time is an important part of our school ethos, the House and Vice Captains decided they would like to consult with the whole school on what is working and what might need changed. We used our Pumphie Pals time today to explore what it might look like in the New Year. Our House and Vice Captains will now meet to collate this information.

P1-3 SSPCA Visit
We had a special visitor in from the SSPCA today. Primary 1 – 3 got together in the P2 classroom to hear all about the work that the SSPCA do and how we can help animals in need.
We found out about a pigeon called Percy who needed help from the SSPCA after he got covered in oil. Everyone was able to share their ideas about what Percy would have needed to make him better.
We learned that if we find an animal in need we can phone the SSPCA for help but we shouldn’t touch the animal ourselves.

This week, Primary 2 got arty!
We had been learning about different natural textures and the words we would use to describe them. We thought about how we could use this to create a piece of artwork and decided to create a group ‘texture picture’.
We created crayon rubbings of natural materials like bark, pine needles, pine cones and coconut shells. We then cut them into shapes and brought them together to made a woodland picture.
Can you guess which animal we made?
Check in with us next week to see what we are learning!
Until then…

Primary 2 have been learning about texture!
We explored natural materials and thought about good ‘texture words’ to describe them. Here are some of the words we came up with:
Then, we gathered extra materials to build a ‘texture board’. We chose materials and wrote labels to describe how they felt. We hope to move the board to the playground where everyone can use it!
Miss McLaughlin taught us a key word for people who like feeling different textures. Test us to see if we can remember!
Until next time…

This week, Primary 2 found a new classmate!
When we came back from lunch, we found a set of tiny footprints on the floor! We followed them and found a little hedgehog! He had a story book with him and as we read, we found out that Harry (as we named him) needed to find somewhere to hibernate for the winter!
So, we wrapped up warm and ventured off into the nearby woodlands to see if there were any suitable places for Harry to hibernate. We came across different plants like an alder tree and ferns. We were lucky enough to hear bird songs and we even saw a family of deer!
We explored different woodland areas and discussed why they would/would not be suitable for Harry’s hibernation home. We also identified what makes up the woodland itself.
We also made maps to record our woodland journey. We are looking forward to seeing what Harry’s next task is!
Until next time…
