We have welcomed each other back after the long weekend. We have enjoyed lunches together and building our names.
We have also practiced building on our skills of cup stacking and working together.
A lovely week in the Autumnal sun.
Outdoor Learning in Ness
A wonderful day for experiencing the great outdoors. Ness had a great time exploring our locality. Having noticed the amount of litter around our school, we decided to help our environment by clearing it up. We have been learning how important it is to look after our environment.
Enjoy our pictures below.
P5 Update 18.9.25
P5 have enjoyed our mini topic on oceans of the world and the coral reef habitat. We concluded it by creating a model of a submarine that could dive to the coral reefs, collect samples, provide visuals and provide communication to the surface. The results were fantastic. Happy September weekend!
Primary 1
Primary have been thinking about what is in our circle of control. We worked together to put things into our circle of control and what we can’t control, there were lots discussions about this and lots of thinking points.
We have also been using our Building Thinking Classrooms time to increase our meta skills and knowledge. Working together in random groups we have to solve a problem, working it out together. We all enjoy working with our friends.
At outdoor learning this week we were practicing being safe outside the school grounds. We walked to our local park, being very careful walking along side the road. Once at the part we worked on lots of silks, climbing, balancing, sharing, taking turns all while having lots of fun.
We have also been working on developing our critical thinking and problem solving skills in the outdoor classroom, building towers and obstacle courses.
Have a lovely September weekend 😀

We have had another wonderful week in Tay.
We have focused our Literacy learning on the initial sound ‘b’ in our songs and practiced our fine motor skills in dabbing safari animal spots! We have also enjoyed working on the lightboards…
In our Number work we have counted our fingers and our toes…focusing on 1-5 and 1-10! Great fun!
During our Morning Group we have broadened our learning journey relating to ‘Days of the Week’ to include the ‘Seasons’ as Autumn has truly arrived!
…And we have continued to enjoy sensory time outside and construction challenges inside!
Taylor is going to his fourth family this weekend…He has had a wonderful time on tour, and we have all enjoyed learning about his adventures. #TayonTour #TeamTayTaylor
Busy, busy!
We wish you all a lovely September long weekend and we look forward to sharing the next part of our journey together when we come back on Tuesday.
P4/3 numeracy update
we have had a successful start to the new year in P4/3. We are working hard and enjoying making new friends.in maths we have completed our first topic of place value. We have been working with numbers in the hundreds, tens and ones columns and learning the difference between a digit and a number as well as greater than and less than. We have used practical equipment to support our learning and we have enjoyed playing maths games with others in class.
Everyday we start our lesson with a problem solving task through our Building Thinking Classrooms approach. In this part of the lesson we work in random groups and at a vertical board. Through this task we are developing our collaboration skills and are learning to share our thoughts and ideas and to listen to others.
Lomond Class
‘Pitta Bread Pizzas’ were a big hit this week in Lomond Class.
We used our looking and listening skills. We were encouraged to touch, smell and taste. We chose our toppings and practiced our spreading and cutting skills too.
They looked and smelt delicious and must have tasted good too as there was not a morsel left on four plates! (‘L’ took her one home).
Well done Lomond Class.
Primary 1
This week as we are a Eco school it was our first turn at litter picking to keep our playground clean.
At outdoor learning we went on a bird scavenger hunt. We are learning to identify different birds and we had lots of fun doing this.
We are all enjoying writing ✍️ and have been doing this independently using free play time as well.
Primary 1 are becoming very confident at recognising, counting, making and writing numbers.
Have a lovely weekend.
ThelifeofTay!
What a beautiful week we have had! We have enjoyed the Autumn sun and time with our friends. We loved our water play time and have enjoyed the sand pit in the Outdoor Classroom too!
In class we have been taking a closer look at the initial sound ‘a’ and associated words and pictures. We have enjoyed using the lightboards to learn how to form the letter.
We have also loved playing with our new interactive alphabet sound mat! Great fun….It has a keyboard to too help us with our Music studies!
In our number work we have loved listening to songs involving counting to ten and learning how to sequence the numbers ourselves!
We have also loved sensory play…with flour, rice and pasta!! Such fun making messy memories.
Taylor – our class mascot – continues his weekend holidays this weekend and we look forward to his news of his adventures on Monday morning!
Learning indoors and outdoors
This week in class we worked on the phonics sound v, exploring words that begin with and include the sound. In numeracy we focused on shapes, learning to recognise and name them. We enjoyed P.E. with Miss Lyndsay and Mrs McMasrer. We explored the trim trail looking at flowers and the butterflies which helped us with building our confidence outdoors. We also spent time in the outdoor classroom, making the most of the fresh air to support our learning. To finish off, we had fun in music, listening, moving and joining in with rhythms.
Have a great weekend ☺️
