Today we had Fun Time Friday. Fun Time Friday is an opportunity for all our children to select an activity that they are interested in and take part in it with peers across different classes. We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.
As part of Fairtrade Fortnight our Pumphie Pals session today had a Fairtrade theme.
First of all the children sorted statements which represented Fairtrade values and those that didn’t.
Then they had a Fairtrade quiz.
Our chicks have become famous on Twitter today through our l live feed on Skype using Glow.
You can view the feed by downloading the app and clicking on the link:Â https://meet.lync.com/glowscotland/wlsarah.mcjimpsey/IV807O25
P3 and P7 joined in the Skype stream, using chat to ask P1 some questions about the chicks and suggest some names for the new arrivals.

Today the NSPCC visited our school to share the message of Speak Out, Stay Safe with our children. They all shared the importance of having trusted adults to talk to. P1-3 and P4-7 took part in an assembly.
Primary 6 and 7 participated in workshops further exploring the messages delivered in the assembly by discussing different scenarios.
Primary 7 further explored this by using the kids section on the Childline website:Â https://www.childline.org.uk/kids
Children received a letter in their bags last week, please sign up to 3 of our workshops and come along and join us.
At club wild we have been thinking about the seasons and the warmer, lighter and greener days that spring and summer will bring. In January and February Mother Nature is already leaving us clues telling us that change is on the way.. Spring is coming!
We found the flowers of hazel, alder and birch trees, drooping down in bright yellows. If you look closely you can also see the tiny pink female flowers next to the yellow catkins.
It is always nice to see clumps of snowdrops, the first flowers of the year. Green shoots are emerging everywhere and plants like Blubells shoot up early so they can get maximum light before the trees get their leaves.
Some trees are already showing leaves as they burst from their buds. We found bright purple Elder leaves and furry buds of Willow and Rowan.
Another way we can tell spring is on the way us by listening too and watching the birds. They will be very busy soon building their nests.
Due to school camp and family photos the February dress down day will on 8th March. We would request that if children chose to take part in the dress down day that they make a donation (usually £1) and this donation will go towards Fairtrade as it is Fairtrade fortnight.
We are aware that this is the P1 Assembly Day but they can also take part in the dress down day.
