Primary 1 have had lots of fun exploring den  building skills. Working as a team we created some very unique dens. We had to think carefully about where to set our dens, what we would use and if the dens to survive a full day. This involved lots of collaboration and creative thinking skills, as well as lots of fun 😀

We have been enjoying our topic, Scotland, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿and this week we have been learning about Robert Burns and in particular enjoyed the poem To a Mouse 🐭 . In PE we have also been learning some Scottish dancing, everyone has enjoyed this and showed good skills in learning the dances.

During outdoor learning we ventured to the local woodland area where our learning focus was on pH testing on natural objects, we talked about the pH scale and tried to predict where each item would sit on the scale.

After exploring the Bible story of Noah and the Ark this inspired our art activity for the week. We created painted rainbows 🌈 and added texture to them with cotton wool ⛅️.  We thought about the story of Noah and how God wants us to listen to him even if others try to convince us not to.

A few of us have been suffering from colds and coughs this week but everyone has been such good troopers engaging in all learning activities. We hope everyone has a restful weekend to recharge for more learning next week.😉
