Can you spot the crocodile? A very interesting addition to any class!
Visit to New Lanark- P2/3 and P3
We arrived at New Lanark and found out that the bell in the tower rang at 5am to make sure everyone was up and ready for work at 6am!
We had a look at the Washroom.
The children went into a Victorian room.
We found out what a gazunder was and what you did with it.
Then we visited a room from the 1960’s and looked at the similarities and differences.
There were some interesting suggestions for the carpet beater.
It was interesting to see what was on sale in the shop.
We were transported back in time to the Victorian School Room. The boys had smocks and the girls had dresses with ribbons. We had to sit in rows with the boys on one side and the girls on the other.
We practised our handwriting on slate, using a slate pencil.
We had to identify and point to countries in Europe, with a long pole, on a huge map.
We really enjoyed our trip!

P2 and 3 Orienteering
On Thursday, James from P6, our orienteering expert, organised starter activities for P2 and P3 . The children worked in pairs to find the controls using individual map cards.
Outdoor Learning- Maths.
We were making 3D shapes in the playground.
We had to find twigs and we used string/wool to help us to tie the sticks together to make the shapes. First, some of us had made a 2D shape and built them in to 3D shapes.
Daniel L., Calan and Dean started their shape building by tying 4 twigs together first to make a square based pyramid.
Howie, Daniel W. and Mark on their way to making a square based pyramid.
Will and Sarah worked enthusiastically. They are looking very excited at completing their 3D shape!
Outdoor Learning
We were finding 2D shape in our environment. We found circles, squares, rectangles and a pentagon. Next, we are going to find some 3D shapes.
                                                                                      
We went into the school grounds and found fungi under the trees, brambles, elderberries and ash cones. We were surprised to find some blossom on one of the trees.
 
We were testing our helicopter seeds. The card helicopter seed was better because it flew better and it fell to the ground quicker as it was heavier. Some peoples’ paper helicopter seeds flew away because they were thinner and lighter and the wind was very strong.
P3 Benchball Festival
On Wednesday, P3 went to the BenchBall Festival with other schools from Linlithgow. We had 5 teams. We won a lot of our games. We had enjoyed playing and it was good fun!
