We started our day with an Enjoy-a-Ball session.  We learned new skills linked to volleyball.   We tried out ‘digging’, ‘ serving’ and volleying the ball.   We had great fun.

After break we kept active by playing ‘Spot the Word’ and dancing at the same time.  That was fun.

After lunch we had our Sports Afternoon  and tried out lots of fun activities.   We were happy to see our families.

Another great day !

Day 2 of our amazing Health Week.   Here we are playing games with our P7 Buddies.

We did some freeze dancing with Danny Go.

We did some gardening with Mrs Watson  and our friends in P1S, and we made flower bombs.   We had to squeeze compost , clay and water together to make a ball shape , then we rolled it in flower seeds.   After that we planted them .  Hopefully we will be able to watch what happens with the seeds and how they grow.

Here we are doing some dancing to music with P1S

We had time to explore and play in the outdoor class room with our P1S friends.

At the end of the day we had time for a little chill with some relaxation.    We listened to some soft lullaby music and watched the clouds float by with our lights on the ceiling.  Another packed day !

What a great day !

Our Health Week activities were in full swing today.   We have been so busy.

We started off with an assembly where Miss Lindsay told us what was happening and how we could have fun and keep safe while showing our school values.

First we went to  in the Polbeth Community Garden, we had to find and collect  different coloured plants .

After break we had a taster session of Judo.   It was great fun !

Before lunch we had a football question and answer session from Nicole who is a football player and coach,

After lunch we made sure to brush our teeth to keep them healthy.

In the afternoon we made smoothies, not before we used pedal power to drive the smoothie blender.   Yummy !

We finished off our day with some relaxation and a snack !

What an amazing day we have had .  Thank you to Mrs McMaster our PE teacher for organising our activities .  We had so much fun !

WOW  !  We found some gigantic footprints and a glitter trail on the floor, !   They led us to a letter …

The letter was from a friendly dragon.  He used to live in Fairyland, but it had disappeared and he was very sad.   He asked us if we could make him a Fairyland in our classroom.   We were very excited.

We decided to make a beanstalk for Jack as his had disappeared.  Our P7 Buddies helped us create it.

Here is our amazing beanstalk

Another letter arrived from the friendly dragon.   He was sad as his castle had disappeared too., so we got to work on designing a castle for the dragon .

The dragon left us a gift – these amazing castle books. He says we can use them for our designs and drawings.

What will happen next ….. watch this space.

We did a dance for the St Mary’s Has Got Talent Show.  Here we are waiting for our turn to take part. We learned a lot of different dance moves and worked so  hard to remember them ! We were absolutely amazing !

Here we are taking part in Easter Bingo .   Our buddies helped us to find the numbers.

These are our Easter Bunny hats, we had fun making them.

Just before Easter our gymnasts E and K were part of a team that went to a gymnastic competition with Mrs McMaster.   Here they are with their medals and certificates. Well done girls !

We had a great time swapping books on World Book Day.

We were given a voucher for a free book.    Don’t forget to use it 🙂

We enjoyed our trip to Edinburgh Castle.   We explored all of the different parts of the castle and had a great day !

On Tuesday P1M and our P7 Buddies had a great time making bird feeders and then taking them into the woods near the school to hang them up for the birds to eat.

What a fantastic time we had celebrating WORLD BOOK DAYon Thursday.    Here we are in our costumes and pyjamas .

We also had a great time reading with our P7 Buddies and enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate !

On Friday we were so excited when our parents came to school for the Sharing Our Learning morning,   We showed them some of the activities that we usually do during Maths time.  We followed our timetable  and completed them very well.  We were absolute superstars and made Mrs Moffat very proud.  Thank you to everyone who came along.

What a fabulous week !
