Our learners have been busy exploring lots of exciting new experiences both inside and outside the classroom. In Numeracy, we have been developing our understanding of number bonds through practical activities and storytelling. The children enjoyed using stories to help make sense of numbers.

As part of our learning about being responsible citizens, we attended the P7 House Captain election. Everyone had the chance to talk to the candidates, vote and make their voice heard.

We are also getting very excited about beginning our outdoor learning journey! This week, we explored different outdoor spaces around our school and discussed how we can stay safe while learning outside. The children shared thoughtful ideas about potential risks and worked together to create our very own Outdoor Learning Class Charter, which will help us enjoy our outdoor adventures safely and responsibly.

Our Meta Skill focus was Working Together, and the children demonstrated this brilliantly while building castles using LEGO. They listened to each other’s ideas, solved problems as a team and showed great creativity as they worked collaboratively on their designs.

To end our week, we attended Mass together on Friday morning. It was a lovely opportunity to come together as a school community.

Primary 1 enjoyed a fun afternoon meeting their new teacher, Miss Fox, as part of our transition activities. The children took part in a fun “Get to Know Me” activity.

The children shared their ideas about the toys and resources they would like to have in Primary 2 and helped design what they would like their new classroom door display to look like. They also had the opportunity to explore their new classroom and take part in a fine motor skills tuff tray challenge.

It was a lovely afternoon, and the children are already looking forward to their exciting move to Primary 2!

Savoury week and we made toasties. We all enjoyed picking our toppings and  tasting them once cooked.

It was savoury week in cooking 🧑‍🍳 club this week and we made sausage rolls.

We had to be very careful using meat, we all did very well following the instructions .

Some of us decided that we usually don’t eat sausage rolls but we will try them because we made them 😊

It was sweet week and we made chocolate truffles. We had to get our hands messy this week to roll the ingredients into balls. It was hard not to eat some as we were cooking 🧑‍🍳 as it was very tasty 😋

Lots of skills were used making our truffles, smashing, scooping, mixing, rolling and sharing.

We had a great start to cooking club, this week was savoury week and we made pizza rolls .

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas 🎄

It’s sweet week! We made chocolate filled croissants 🥐.

We had had to use cutting skills for today’s cooking 🧑‍🍳 we cut the pastry into triangles and then rolled our chocolate 🍫 in the pastry 🥐. We had to paint them with milk before we cooked them.

A adult had to put them in the oven and set the timer. We could smell them cooking, they smelled delicious.
