Rannoch News!

Rannoch Class have had a great week!

We’ve enjoyed lots of learning to do with the measurement and ordering of objects in our Numeracy lessons and where we find Tropical Rainforests, as we begin this new Topic…as well as the animals that live there. We’ve also enjoyed time outside in the good weather and in the Outdoor Classroom where we built our own symmetrical models from the wooden blocks. We have also enjoyed catching and feeling bubbles! Tomorrow…Friday morning…we are ending our week making our own pizzas. Yum!

Luke – There’s lots of them (books) to choose from.

Primary 1S

What a good first week back in school for Primary 1S. We have all enjoyed being back in school seeing our friends and getting time to play together.

In class we checked on out potatoes 🥔 that were hiding in our trays, they had grown roots! During our outdoor learning we planted our potatoes 🥔 in the soil. We will check on then every week to see how they grow.

We have enjoyed some time in the outdoor classroom, making tracks, building towers and playing in the mud kitchen.

 

In maths we have been learning positional language, 1st 🥇 2nd 🥈 3rd 🥉…. all the way up to 10. We had some races, with toy cars 🚗 and running 🏃 Lots of fun was had doing this.

During the week our buddies came down to spend some reading 📖 and playing sumdog. We really enjoy spending time with our buddies.

Happy Easter from P2

We have enjoyed the final week of fundraising activities.  Spot the super serious faces at our Bunny Bingo!  Well done to Jorja for scooping up not one, but two prizes!

We enjoyed the range of talents on display at St. Mary’s got Talent.  Well done to all the brave contestants.

Happy Easter! Stay safe and see you in two weeks.

What a week we have had in Primary 5! We have had such a busy week with all our fun ‘Lent’ activities with ‘Cake & Candy’ on Monday, ‘Funfair’ on Tuesday, ‘Bingo’ on Wednesday and our amazing ‘St Marys Got Talent’ show today! On Wednesday, St Marys Gymnastics team also had a competition and three of our girls from Primary 5 took part.

We have had so many children in our class rehearsing for the talent show over the last few weeks and everyone from Primary 5 that took part, was amazing!!

We had The Karen Show, The Comedy Show and a poem called ‘Monday Blues’ written by Connor in our class.

At the Funfair on Tuesday, Michael guessed the correct birthday of the chick and won!!

And today at the talent show, Connor won the P4-P7 category with his own poem!

Also, at the gymnastics competition St Mary’s came first with Victoria, Kornelia and Zofia all getting medals and, Victoria getting a second medal for her individual performance.

Primary 1S last week before 🐣 Easter

Primary 1S has had a very busy week.
On Monday we enjoyed our school cake and candy. We all did very well making sure we kept our money safe and paid for the cakes we wanted. For some of us it was hard to choose what we wanted to buy as there was a lot of choice!

We also did some Easter craft activities and enjoyed learning about the Bible story of Easter.

As we are coming into spring time on Tuesday we spent some time in our school garden. We decided as a class that we wanted to try and grow something we could eat. In the garden we have planted Gooseberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Blackcurrants and Blueberries 🫐. We had to prepare the planters by taking out all the weeds and putting plant food into the soil before planting our trees.

On Tuesday we also experienced our first school fun fair. We played lots of fun games.

 

On Wednesday we played Bingo! We worked with our Primary 7 buddies who helped us keep track of our numbers. We had lots of fun, even though we had to concentrate. Our class were lucky 🍀 to have two winners.

Our school also took part in a gymnastics 🤸 competition on Wednesday and we are all very proud of the gymnasts from our class that took part.

On Thursday we painted real boiled 🥚 eggs. Some of us have decided to take them home but some of us enjoyed tasting them.

And last but not least we got to watch and take part in our school talent show 🎤, St Mary’s Got Talent 2024. Our Dance Monkeys did the class proud.

Have a lovey Easter 🐣 Break.

 

 

P2 Update 22.3.24

A wee couscous salad was created in health and wellbeing this week.  The chopping skills on display were fantastic.  We hope you enjoyed our creation!  We have been covering the following outcomes in the curriculum:

I enjoy eating a diversity of foods in a range of social situations.  HWB 1-29a

By investigating the range of foods available I can discuss how they contribute to a healthy diet.  HWB 1-30a

I experience a sense of enjoyment and achievement when preparing simple healthy foods and drinks.  HWB 1-30b

I am becoming more aware of how cleanliness, hygiene and safety can affect health and wellbeing and I apply this knowledge in my everyday routines such as taking care of my teeth.  HWB 1-33a

Well done to the P6 Euro Quiz team!

On Thursday P6’s Euro Quiz team took part in the West Lothian heat, competing against dozens of other primary schools. Luke, Cooper, Corra and Skye worked together brilliantly to answer 60 questions across 4 rounds on topics including culture, flags, food, language, history and general knowledge.

They impressed with an incredible 40 points, and got some very tricky questions correct including what is a pastel de nata? (custard tart); what created the fjords? (glaciers) and what’s the smallest country in the EU? (Malta).

Brilliant effort all of you! Very well done for super team work too. Here they are with their certificates!

 

Primary 5

Primary 5 have had such a busy week this week, and everyone has done so so well!

We started our week with Outdoor Learning up in the woods where we were exploring habitats and built dens for tiny creatures (or creepy crawlies!) The class participated so well in pairs to complete this activity – great communication and teamwork from everyone!

Then on Monday afternoon we headed to Xcite in Whitburn for our swimming assessment! Everyone had loads of fun; the children were excellent, especially at getting showered and organised so we didn’t miss the bus back to school!

We have had a very busy time rehearsing for the St Mary’s Got Talent show next Thursday, with P5 having their additions yesterday! Our 3 groups have been voted for and we can’t wait to see them perform again at the show next week!

In Numeracy, we have been learning our Roman Numerals which led to a really exciting conversation about the different places we might find them! In Literacy, big well done because everyone did so well this morning on their spelling test. Two reading groups finished their books this week too so we’ll be starting new ones just before our Easter Holidays! 4 more school days then it is our holidays, you can do this Primary 5!!!

Happy Friday everyone, have a great weekend!!
