Lomond Class Update

The class did some lovely daffodil inspired paintings and collage recently.  Many enjoyed mixing paint colours again.  This art work is proudly displayed on our Spring wall.  We also made some Easter cards outdoors with Miss Nelson – they’ll be going home soon.

Our book of the week was ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’.  Several of the children chose to look at/read this book in their own time and one even re-enacted some of the story out in the field.  Fantastic!

We had a very active time in PE again with Mrs McMaster and enjoyed the Spring sunshine on Thursday in the kick pitch and field.

Have a lovely weekend.

Primary 1 have been learning about the oceans and different creatures that live in it. This week we used this to create beautiful ocean scene pictures. We used different techniques to create layers on our pictures. We are all proud of our work and had lots of fun making them.

During RE this week as well as having a focus on lent and being forgiving like Jesus, we also learned about St Partrick. We created trinity shamrocks ☘️ to represent The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. We had to use lots of fine motor skills to create these.

During outdoor learning this week we were out in the garden starting our vegetable teepee. We had to carefully fill the planters with soil and sick a big bamboo stick in each one. Miss Stenhouse then tied them together before we planted our seeds. We have planted cucumber and bean seeds as they like to grow tall.

Have a lovely weekend 😀

P3 🌳☀️

Yesterday during outdoor learning with Miss Nelson, Primary 3 had a fantastic time planting seeds. The children enjoyed getting hands-on in nature, learning how to plant and what plants need to grow. They worked together to dig holes, place the seeds in the ground, and talked about how these seeds will grow into trees in the future.

P3 could talk about what they had learned during outdoor learning!

  • “We planted seeds yesterday” – Kenzo

  • “Trees are going to grow from the seeds” – Dillon

  • “A plant needs water and sun to grow” – Lucas

  • “We had to dig a hole in the ground to put the seeds in” – Emily 🌱

P7/6 Theatre Trip and Outdoor Learning

Leave a comment

Some of P7/6 enjoyed a trip to see Matilda in Edinburgh this week. It was a fantastic production! We are all looking forward to seeing the upper school put on the show at the end of the year!
In outdoor learning we have been planting trees and enjoying a blindfolded scavenger hunt!
In numeracy we are working on our decimals and in IDL we have begun a detailed look at WWII including which planes were used in the Battle of Britain and how the war began. We will be going on a school trip to East Fortune in May so we are looking forward to learning about this in class first!
In writing we have written several persuasive pieces – getting very good at this. We are also working on various spelling patterns and strategies, handwriting and guided reading skills. Well done P7/6!

We have had a week of smiles and sun this week.

We are making great strides in our initial sound and CVC work.

We are also learning to match up halves and recognise patterns.

We have worked on our pencil control and have also used cotton buds to practice our fine-motor painting skills.

We have also been learning how to put pictures into order of size.

We have also loved time in P.E. and in the Sensory Room….and lunch!

In one week’s time we’ll have completed our second term at St Mary’s, and made so many wonderful memories!

During our outdoor learning in Primary 1 we planted trees 🌳 In class we have been learning about living things and the importance of plants and trees in the world. 🌍 This was a good opportunity for us to plant trees and watch them grow as we grow in school.

 

This week we decided to change our play area from a hairdressers to a puppet show. We have created posters and 🎫 tickets for our show, thinking of how much we should charge for our tickets. We have had lots of fun using or imagination  to create shows for our friends.

We have found it lots of fun practicing French words and learning facts about France 🇫🇷 we took time to create French flags and compared them to the Scottish flag.

As we approach Easter we have been thinking about what that means in the Church calendar and the meaning behind the Easter celebrations.

We have also been thinking about the change in seasons and how we know that spring is her, new flowers, baby chicks 🐤 and  lambs 🐑 .

We have had fun playing with Spring materials.

 

Shapes have been a big hit in Primary 1 and we have been learning lots about 2D and 3D shapes.

Have a lovely weekend 😊
