Lots of winners in Ness Class this week.
Some of us won a prize from our WOW Wall!
Some of our P7s campaigned to become House Captain or Vice Captain.
Special Announcement: We are very pleased to announce Dominic Barjasz as the new St John Ogilvie Vice Captain!
Dominic was keen for his friends to celebrate with him, and organised his own party, bought the food within a strict budget and even set it all out before clearing up at the end.
We are all so proud of our Ness pupils! They were ready for so much new learning this week and we were so pleased to try and keep up with them.
In Number we have been working on Place Value. We are loving our songs, games, written learning and using our counters.
In Literacy we explored new sounds, words and had a big focus on our Handwriting.
In Food Technology we explored textures of toasted bread and focussed on making sure we use clean hands when working with food.
One of our pupils even won Hot Chocolate treat with Miss Pritchard.
Outdoor Learning was a Nature Walk and we tried to identify many sights, smells, sounds and textures.
We hope everyone has a well deserved rest over the weekend.
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.
What a joy to see the sun shining and feel the temperatures rise. Ness class enjoyed linking their Food Technology learning to planning and then having a picnic in the sun.
We chose our bread, fillings and other acompanyments before packing our picnic and heading to the local park.
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!
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!
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.
