Fun Time Friday Take 3!
Today we had our third Fun Time Friday of the school year. 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.
Advent Assembly
Mr Povey joined us at assembly this morning to share the message of advent with us. Some of the children helped him to light the advent candles.
Our singing group, organised by Rebecca and Ceira in Primary 7, sang A Million Dreams.

Today we had a Book Week Scotland Assembly to celebrate our learning on the lead up to Book Week Scotland.
Miss Burton read us a passage from The Truth Pixie by Matt Haig, as this is book she enjoys reading.
We looked at some of the photos that children had sent in of them reading in an unusual place. Well done to everyone who sent in a photo!

P7 – Shared Snack
WAL: to enjoy eating a range of healthy foods in a social situation.
I can: try a range of different healthy foods.
– talk about why some foods are healthier than others.
P7 have been enjoying Shared Snack twice per week.
So far we have enjoyed: dips with vegetable sticks and bread sticks, wraps with cheese and cold meat, scones, pancakes, cereal, crackers and cheese, homemade soda bread, homemade broad bean humus, sandwiches and natural yogurt with granola and mixed berries.
Every week we have a selection of fruit and/or vegetables. So far we have had apples, bananas, pears, pineapple, mango, satsumas, mandarins, oranges, peaches, raisins, melon, pepper, cucumber, carrots and tomatoes.
The children work on a rota basis to prepare the food and set up the class.
If you have any other suggestions for easily prepared healthy snacks, please let us know.
Club Wild – Feed the Birds
At Club Wild we have been making fat cakes for the birds.Â
Here is our quick and easy ‘Club Wild – Bird Fat Cake’ recipe:
Ingredients
– Lard/Vegetable or beef suet
– Porridge oats
Any of the following – bird seed, meal worms, bird nuts, ground nuts, hard cheese
Moulds – yoghurt pots or other plastic tubs, coconut shells, pine cones
– String to tie the mould
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until they are bound together. The warmth of our hands made the fat squidgy and sticky. Spoon the mixture into the mould and press it down.Â
By providing fat for the birds we are helping them put on the weight they need to keep warm and survive the winter. Hopefully we will attract more birds to the school grounds where we can watch and learn more about them.
