Ness- Easter Fun

Leave a comment

What an incredible week in Ness Class!

St Mary’s Got Talent: Well, the pupils in Ness certainly have talent as Laura impressed the judges with her dance routine. She was very happy with her performance!

Dominic and Hunter had the crowd in stiches with their stand-up routine. Lot’s of jokes and hilarity abound!

Then today, we all took turns to roll our decorated eggs down the hill at school. We learned that this signified the stone rolling away for the Tomb on Easter Sunday.

 

We wish everyone a Happy and Peaceful Easter Holiday.

PRIMARY 5 ARE OFF TO CAMP

Leave a comment

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!

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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 🙂
