A celebration of Books in Ness class helped by Primary 7 pupils this week. We enjoyed our Book Hunt, especially with our P7 friends helping out.
Later that day, we enjoyed making Oat Cookies after writing about our new Superhero Captain Oatie!

PRIMARY 5 ARE OFF TO CAMP
Today was an exciting day for our Primary 5s as we headed off on our very first camp trip! The buzz on the bus said it all — everyone was full of excitement and ready for adventure.
When we arrived, our first challenge was making our beds. There were a few tricky duvet covers to tackle, but with teamwork and determination, everyone rose to the occasion! After working up an appetite, we enjoyed lunch together before heading off for our afternoon activities.
In the afternoon, we took part in crate climbing and low ropes. Both activities encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones and, most importantly, work together as a team. There was lots of cheering, encouragement and celebrating each other’s successes — fantastic teamwork all round!
After a well-earned dinner, we wrapped up the evening around the campfire. We sang songs, played games and toasted marshmallows while sharing plenty of laughs.
It was the perfect end to a brilliant first day, and everyone is looking forward to what tomorrow brings!
Pots of Monsters in Ness Class
Ness Class have been exploring Scottish songs, poems, literature and myths.
Inspired by the story of Nessie, Ness class decided they wanted to make jelly monsters during Food Tech this week. We set our own jelly, gave our monsters chocolate hair and scary laces.
Lots of munching followed. Clearing up and washing is something we are all working hard on.
Half Term in Ness
We brought the curtain down on a very busy but successful first term. We have made lots of friends and learned lots of amazing facts and skills over the past 8 weeks. The highlight of this week was our funny but edible squishy ghosts we made during Food Technology.
Enjoy the pics below, and we hope everyone has a lovely week off.
A Fabulous Week in Ness
The new term is going very well in Ness Class. Everyone has settled in and the learning is progressing well.
This week, we have been reading together every day to improve our reading fluency.
Our number learning has been Place Value and some of us are very good at identifying number up to 1 million!
Science has been the highlight of our week, where we have explored Static Electricity- a hair raising experiment for most!
Some of our highlights are in the pictures below!
Saving The Oceans- A Ness Class Project
Our pupils have been learning about the Oceans of our World. A fact we found interesting was that we have dumped over 5 Trillions of pieces of plastic in our oceans. The pupils of Ness found this very sad and decided to find out how much plastic pollution we had around our school grounds. We collected the litter and decided to make a giant poster with it. We will be sharing our research and our Pollution Poster with the rest of the school. Enjoy our pictures!
Working together in Ness Class
Teamwork was the theme of the week in Ness Class. We were all helping each other learn during reading, number and playing.
In Reading, some of us wanted to help read our Book Of The Week. Laura, Dominic, Hunter and Lochlan were very keen to ‘be teacher’ and teach the book to the class.
In number, we have been learning about Fractions. We used a big bag of sweets to help our understanding about what a fraction is. Everyone helped share out our 1 Big Bag into tenths. Some of us even understood sharing the small bags into thirteenths. Mr Elliott, Mrs Mains and Mrs Hill were absolutely amazed at our knowledge.
Finally, we have a lovely playtime today in the sun. Hunter, Dominic, Nathan and Laura decided to play their own game of Duck-Duck-Go! Or as it’s known in our class: Quack-Quack-Run!
Enjoy our pictures 🙂
Under the water in Ness Class
On Wednesday, we began our 6 week block of swimming lessons. Lots of excellent swimmers in our class, and even a few of us brave enough to dive into the pool. We had a great time at the pool and look forward to our next session.
Half Term Update- Ness Class
A fabulous end to a busy term in Ness Class. We have really enjoyed our learning with many highlights to share. Our focus on Scotland and Burns led to many exciting learning opportunities and amazing Food Technology sessions. In Numeracy we have been very successful developing our strategies for multiplying- we really like grouping our numbers to help us count on! This will be a good strategy to help in our next learning block which will focus on Division and Fractions. We have also been using our clocks to tell the time. In Literacy, we are reading every day. Mrs Mains and Mrs Hill are really pushing our Reading Skills through Read, Write, Inc. We have also been focusing on Poetry and writing a Biography about Rabbie Burns. In Health and Wellbeing, we are developing our core strength during Class Yoga, and Mrs McMaster has been putting us through our paces within team games and racquet skills. Each week provides us with different learning opportunities where our pupils lead the learning by planning mini-topics using our Floor book. Enjoy a sample of our learning in pictures below.
A Wee Week O’ Burns
Another successful and entertaining week in Ness Class. We had an amazing breakthrough in our Maths learning. The 6 times table is tricky, but we have discovered that making groups of 6 and adding on by 6 each time, gets the correct answer!
In our writing we were learning about Rabbie Burns. We planned a Birthday Party for him on Thursday and even had our own Burn’s Supper as the menu. Dominic and Laura loved the haggis. Shay and Nathan like the Tunnock’s Teacakes and the Irn Bru was a big hit with everyone!
Pics Below!
With the weather warning closing the school tomorrow, I will put some little tasks on the Teams page for anyone who wants to access them. Instructions are on the SWAY the school is sending out to all parents and carers on Thursday afternoon!
Stay safe everyone!
