After a bumper Harvest, Ness decided to use the spare apples which were available throughout the school. We explored recipes containing apples and learned how to safely chop and prepare apples for stewing. Well done to everyone who smelled and tasted the cooked apples! We designed a lovely dessert using meringues and custard to have with our stewed apples. Lots of instructions to follow and messy play!
On Monday we learned about Remembrance Day, we talk about why it was important to remember the soldiers. All of primary 1 were respectful during the two minutes silence and then we created our own popes which are on the wall to remind us.
On Tuesday we had a great session with our Primary 7 buddies. During this time we completed a STEM challenge and with the help of our buddies we created a STEM planet each. We got to choose the materials we wanted to creat our planets. Spending time with our buddies was great fun. Once we completed our planet 🪐 we had time to read a book with our buddy.
We were all super proud of a member of our class who won 🥇 medals at at gymnastics competition 🌟
On Friday we did some more work to our Christmas 🎄 enterprise project .
For anti-bullying week P5 have created a very moving iMovie to demonstrate why friendship and respect it’s important when facing bullying. We showed it to the whole school at a special assembly and everyone enjoyed watching it and discussing it. Brilliant work P5.
In Primary 1 this week we learned about bonfire 🔥 night. We used different materials to create a bonfire landscape picture, thinking about times we have saw fireworks before and what they look like as well as the sound. I think you will agree that we did a fantastic job.
We also got started on our Christmas 🎄 enterprise activity….we will keep it a surprise for you all 😉 Lots of fun was had during the first step of making it, we hope you are going to love them.
During number work we have started making number stories, we have all been working very hard learning the meaning of the symbols + =. In our class we have created a number bond to 10 tree to help us.
We have been practicing our first 25 common word in class and some children can now read all 25 words 🥳 Super work🥳we are so proud.
A lovely week in Rannoch.
We have enjoyed Outdoor Learning this week in lovely Autumnal sunshine. We also continued to explore our Topic of Houses and Homes.
We also made our own playdough in Autumnal colours which we really enjoyed! We have also worked with Numicon to develop our Numeracy skills, and have looked at the initial sound ‘a’ during our Read, Write Inc learning time. We have also enjoyed looking at our new Julia Donaldson books and being read to.
Primary 5 today had a trip to nursery to reacquaint themselves with the guinea pigs – Muffin and Biscuit – before we host them later in the month! The furry friends will be arriving in P5 the week after next and will be shared around several classes during their two-week holiday to St Mary’s. After a cuddle with both we got to ask some questions about guinea pig care. We have also been doing a little bit of learning and writing about this too. We can’t wait for our piggy pals to join us in P5!
Sparkles abound in Ness today! We researched Fireworks today, especially sparklers and loved the colours! We decided to make our own edible Sparklers with breadsticks, melted chocolate, icing sugar and sprinkles. Delicious!
What a fun, bus learning week in Primary 1.
As this was Halloween 🎃 week we took our inspiration from this.
To start with we were working on science 🧪 mixing materials together to make a new material, we made slime. It was lots of fun.
We thought about how we could not separate the materials again and put it back to how we got them, once mixed and turned into slime it was stuck that way.
This then made us think about melting, we can melt water 💧 and then turn it back into ice 🧊, but we can’t do that with everything. We melted jelly blocks in hot water and let them set in the fridge. Once made we could not turn it back to water and jelly. Again this was lots of fun and we got to take our jelly potion home.
We stuck with the same theme of Halloween 🎃 and mixing, this time it was powder and water 💧 to make icing sugar. We also found out that we couldn’t switch it back to powder and water. We had a great time icing biscuits and decorating them.
On Thursday we had a spooky session in the woods for our outdoor learning. We were joined by Primary 6 and had lots of fun.
On Friday we celebrated All Saints Day with mass in the school. We were very respectful during the service and sang beautifully.
Have a lovely weekend.
This week we have been very busy!!
We have focused on our learning around the ‘m’ phonic in Literacy, and enjoyed sensory formation of the letter.
In ‘Beyond the number’ we have designed houses using 2-D shapes.
We have also enjoyed ‘Ready. Set. Go.’ races on the ‘kick pitch’. We have also enjoyed ‘hop-scotch’ in the Outdoor Classroom.
We have sung songs to welcome us into the day during our Morning Group sessions.
A lovely week with friends.
