This week we had lots  of fun in P.E.

We also practiced our letter formation and recognition of which letters match with which images.  We also enjoyed looking at books from our library corner.

We enjoyed time in the sensory room and listened to songs to help us with our recognition of 2-D shapes during our ‘ beyond number’ learning time.

We also cooked….yummy cupcakes to enjoy as the October break started!

We also enjoyed cooking cupcakes!

Last week P6 enjoyed the European day of languages and particularly enjoyed tasting baguettes, cheese and sausages!
On Friday we had a super fun Sharing our Learning! First we showed parents what we do in reading, then we went outside to share some games we learned at camp! Parents weren’t at all competitive – NOT! Well done everyone!

We had a fantastic morning at our first Big Breakfast and Sharing Our Learning event of this session. What a fantastic turn out from our families! Thank you to everyone who came along, we loved showing you the fantastic things that we have been learning in St. Mary’s.

What a brilliant week we had to celebrate all things Maths and STEM on this Scottish Numeracy Week. Linked to our topic, Night and day, our pupils wanted to learn all about torches. We decided to build our own torches from scratch using Circuit materials.

It’s been a lovely week in Rannoch…We have learned about the parts of the body in our topic studies ‘All About Me’.

In our ‘Beyond Number’ studies we have been learning about coin values and are soon to move onto shape.

Our Phonics are also progressing – and this week we have focused on the ‘s’ and ‘i’ initial sounds.

We have also enjoyed time in the sun outside on the Trim Trail and playing in class with our friends.

Everyone in Ness has enjoyed coming back to class after our September break. Continuing our focus on Emotional Regulation, we have been learning about the Superhero inside of us- Superflex- who helps us overcome difficult situations. This theme has has informed our writing, with a focus on descriptions of superhero characters. In Maths, we are coming to the end of our Place Value topic- well done everyone for showing your understanding using our Maths working wall. Finally, our main IDL topic ‘Night and Day’ has been inspiring some amazing artwork from our pupils.

This week we have enjoyed a music session where we practiced keeping a regular beat and explored a range of musical instruments. We have also enjoyed time in the sun with lots of outdoor learning experiences. We have also practiced our fine motor skills in creating a Forest Scene display and learned more about day and night time activities in our Topic lessons.

A super week with lots of smiles and fun!

Primary 5’s second day at camp was super! After a hearty breakfast we got ready for our two final challenges – the low ropes and leap of faith. The leap of faith towers above the trees in the woods and our P5 all took it in turns to brave the climb! Once at the top we had to leap forward to touch the swinging ball. Well done to those who made it all the way!

We enjoyed a lovely lunch and some games in the sunshine before we had to say goodbye to camp. We all agreed it ended too soon but was amazing fun, and we look forward to returning in P7!

After a lovely evening meal P5 got ready for the campfire and talent show. We also encountered an unexpected guest – a friendly neighbourhood cat who we named Jingles. He joined us around the campfire and even won the talent show with his chasing sticks and roll routine with Mrs Sinclair! Next we toasted marshmallows around the campfire and then enjoyed some hot chocolate and cake. We rounded the evening off with some games and music in the lounge before settling back into our bunks and getting our PJs on ready for bed! What an amazing day, and the weather truly made it even more spectacular!
