We had a fantastic start to our Health Week. Our day began with some hip hop dancing, we loved learning a dance to Beat It! By Michael Jackson. Then we had a lovely sunny walk to the bowling club in Polbeth. The men were so patient and helped to show us how to play. Some of us found the weighted ball very difficult to use. We all did manage to give it a go. We loved our outdoor play in the trim trail and the s’mores , we had help from Mrs Watson and Miss Lindsay. They were delicious. We toasted the marshmallows over the fire pit and squished it between 2 chocolate digestives, yum! We learned about healthy eating, different food groups and how they help our bodies. In the afternoon we had fun spectating the teachers verses pupils netball game and we all had an ice lolly to top the day off. We had an amazing day.
Heath week day 1
Wow 🤩 what a busy day we had today!
we kicked off the day with fruit 🍇 smoothy and fruit kebabs. We tried lots of fruits and got to try the smoothie bike 🚲. It was lots of fun and very tasty 😋.
We then enjoyed some time in the trim trail practicing our balance skills and making s’mores at the fire 🔥 pit. We had to be very safe around the fire.
In the afternoon we planted seeds. We had agreed that we wanted to plant tomato 🍅 and peppers 🫑. We had to make sure our pots had enough soil then we took the seeds out of the tomatoes and peppers and put them in our pots.
We are looking forward to them growing!
Our final activity for the day was to watch the teacher’s verse students netball game, we had lots of fun cheering 📣 on everyone. And we managed to squeeze in a cheeky game of duck 🦆 duck 🦆 goose 🪿.
What a fun day we had!
Rannoch News
It has been a lovely week in Rannoch. We have played together and learned from one another.
In Literacy, we have made great progress on working with the initial sound ‘h’ and on related CVC words.
In our Beyond Number studies we have developed our skills at putting pictures into size order; biggest to smallest and smallest to biggest.
We have also enjoyed listening to music, dancing and painting butterflies.
On the Trim Trail we have loved playing together on the new Sensory Trail.
We wished everyone in the class a lovely holiday weekend and look forward to seeing each other on Tuesday.
Primary 1
We have had a great week in the ☀️ sunshine, remembering to be Sunny Safe with our sun hats 🧢 and sunscreen 🧴.
We got out in the garden and planted potatoes 🥔 carrots 🥕 and beans 🫘. We were very safe and responsible with the garden tools and all showed great listening skills to follow the instructions. We are looking forward to watching them grow.
We also practiced our balance and coordination skills on the trim trail, we have been doing very well using our perseverance and trying hard as we can find some things tricky.
In class we have been working on time 🕰️. We have been talking about how we know time is moving, we have talked about day and night time, moths, seasons, days and the clock ⏰ Our focus with the clock is telling the time on the hour, o’clock.
Primary one have been good role models, we have been up to the nursery to meet the new boys and girls who are coming up to school in the summer. We enjoyed playing with them and telling them all about Primary 1.
Have a lovely weekend.😀
P5’s Trip to Loch Leven Castle
Primary 5 enjoyed a trip to Loch Leven Castle as part of our learning about Mary Queen of Scots.
Mary was imprisoned on the castle island for more than a year. Just like Mary, P5 boarded the boat for the journey across the loch to the island. We explored the castle tower and stood in the room where Mary was imprisoned and forced to abdicate the throne to her infant son. We also stood on the shore where Mary made her dramatic escape back to the mainland!
We visited the Glassin tower and its murky basements, visited the old kitchen and saw its food hatch to the dining area, and climbed some spiral staircases to other secret rooms.
We took the Loch Leven Quiz and hunted around the castle and ruins to see if we could find the answers.
The island itself if a nature reserve, full of birds and we saw some herons and pheasants roaming the grounds.
After a return boat trip we visited the shop then strolled down the boardwalk for lunch in the sun next to the play park.
Everyone said they enjoyed the day! The weather made it really special too as there was not a cloud in the sky! Well done P5!
Rannoch News
We have enjoyed a beautiful week in Rannoch.
We have played, and learned, with our friends, and explored our new sensory trail…
We have continued our progress with our learning of our phonics – with the initial sound ‘l’, and in our ‘Beyond Number’ studies have worked on ordering numbers.
We look forward to a lovely sunny weekend, before seeing each other again on Monday 🙂
Primary 2
Primary 2 have had a busy but lovely week.
Park
We made the most of the lovely weather this week by taking Fred Frog to the park! We had so much fun and used our collaboration skills!
Healthy Menus
We used our new knowledge of the eatwell plate to discuss what makes meals healthy. We looked at the school’s lunch menu for the week and broke down each meal and decided what made it healthy. We then created our own menus, making sure we had a balanced diet.
Time
This week we continued to develop our knowledge of time in a real life context. We estimated and discussed time durations in our daily lives. We also engaged brilliantly in numeracy play and challenged ourselves!
Volcano Models
Continuing on with our volcano topic, we looked into the 3 types of volcanoes: shield, cinder cone, and composite. We then used clay to form our 3 different types of volcanoes! We are looking forward to painting these once they are dry!
(We also created volcanoes through our play using the construction blocks!)
Primary 1
What a great start to the week we had in Primary 1, we had a lovely trip to the park with Primary 3 and Fred Frog 🐸. Fred was helping us to spell lots of words in the park.
We have been enjoying the sunshine ☀️ and planting seeds, we were out in the garden planting our pumpkin seeds, we hope they grow big and strong.
We then worked on our balance and coordination skills in the trim trail before cooling off.
In RE we have been learning all about Mary as May is a special moth for Mary. We then started a wall display for Mary to remind us that this is a special month. On Friday we were all respectful at Mass, joining in with the prayers and hymns we know.
We hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend.
Mass led by Primary 4
![]()
Well done to our wonderful Primary 4 class who led Mass this morning. We are so proud of you all, you are a credit to the school! Thank you to parents, carers and parishioners who were able to come to Mass this morning, too.
Another successful day at camp!
Wow! What an amazing time we are having! A little rain this morning did not dampen our spirits and the sun didn’t take long to come out. Today we have successfully attempted the cat walk, leap of faith, archery, raft building, low ropes and night line. It’s all in a days work. We are looking forward to fishing tonight followed by Highland Games for our last night activities. Check out our photos.
