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!
We were glad that our outdoor learning got changed to the start of the week this week as we had some lovely sunshine to work outside. We were helping in the trim trail to make a sensory garden. We put our handprints on the crate to decorate it. We then had some time with our buddies in the trim trail to work on our balance, co ordination and team work skills.
We have been learning about the new season of spring and thinking about what happens in spring time. We have created descriptions of chicks 🐣 in our writing jotters.
In numeracy and maths we have been making equal groups, sharing items between friends and making sure everyone has the same amount to keep it fair.
EASTER ASSEMBLY
Thank you very much to all of the parents, grandparents and other family members who came along to our assembly on Friday. There was a fantastic turn out and it was lovely to see so many there! We are so proud of how well our children led the assembly, delivering important messages about Easter. We enjoyed a wee party back in classroom after the assembly to celebrate!
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 🙂
On Monday we learned all about St Patrick, we used this learning of the trinity to make beautiful shamrock ☘️ sun catchers.
We also had a lovely buddy hour where we read to our buddies and they read to us.
Cake 🍰 and 🍭 candy sale was lots of fun, we got to take our money up and buy cakes. This was a great opportunity to use money in a real life setting.
On Thursday we had our outdoor learning in the school garden. We have been growing pumpkin 🎃 plants 🌱 in our classroom but they were getting too big for their pots. We wanted to plant them in the ground but because it has been frosty 🥶 in the morning we decided to put them in bigger pots and bring them back into the classroom. We did get to dig a big hole and plant our Christmas tree 🌲 that our elf brought us during lent.
On Friday we enjoyed a lovely assembly led by Primary 4 all about Easter.
Have a lovely weekend.
We’ve had a busy few weeks in P6, here is a round up of it all.

On Friday (today) we had a p4 to p7 bingo and had a few winners. Our focus for our assembly today was Rights Respecting Schools.
We had a lovely buddy session on Monday where we got to read books 📚 to our big P7 buddies. We then showed them how good we have got at using Sumdog.
We had the chance to look at all the book fair books 📚 we are going to let our grown ups at home know what books we like.
On Thursday we spent some time in the woodland area and trip trail for our outdoor learning. In the woods we went on a treasure hunt looking for different things, leaves 🍁 sticks and acorns. In the trim trail we worked on our balance and coordination.
On Friday we took part in our Lent Bingo we had to concentrate hard on the numbers that were called so we could mark the numbers correctly, our P7 buddies helped us.
Have a lovely weekend.
Primary 4 had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day! What a brilliant day! Some photos of us in action…

SHARING THE LEARNING
On Friday, we enjoyed having our parents and carers in class to share our learning. Following our activities on World Book Day yesterday, we decided to do some reading with our parents today. So, we brought in our favourite books from home and enjoyed reading with our parents. We then completed a book review detailing our thoughts on the book (or chapter) that we read. We then designed posters for our class library and chose some book related activities.
Bonnie – I designed a character from my favourite book and my dad helped me.
Jessica – I read a chapter from my Harry Potter book and did my book review.
Hudson – I sat in the library with my mum and we read three books! I loved it and I love reading!
Bella – I like brining my favourite book from home but I only read a chapter as it had loads of pages. I’ve got loads of books at home and I liked reading with my mum.
Stella – I liked reading then doing my book review. I gave my book 5 stars because it’s so good.
Jacob – After reading, I designed a character costume.
Damon – I loved reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” with my mum and it’s my favourite book because it’s so funny.
Jaxon – I liked when my mum came in and we read my story together.
Ellie – I did a reading word-search with my sister and found all the words. I read a chapter of my book to Jodie.
Karlie – I brought in my favourite Harry Potter book. It’s so special and the pictures in it are so pretty and it makes me want to read it even more.
THANK YOU very much to all the parents and carers for coming along on Friday. Your support is always much appreciated and it’s fantastic for all of the children to share their learning with you.
What a great morning we had on Friday, starting off with the school Big Breakfast and then getting time to share our learning in class.
This time at sharing our learning based on numbers, we were very keen to show our grown ups the work we are proud of and lots of new things we have learned.
We hope you all enjoyed sharing our learning 😀
Have a lovely weekend.
This week we showcased our Scottish Dancing skills. We have been practicing these at PE and have had lots of fun exercising and having fun dancing.
As Tuesday was Pancake 🥞 Tuesday we had a great time making pancakes from scratch. We mixed all the ingredients together then took turns at cooking them. We had a choice of yummy toppings.
On Wednesday we were very respectful during Ash Wednesday Mass. We discussed how this marks the start of Lent which is a important time in the church calendar.
Thursday was Book 📕 Day. We had lots of fun coming to school in our pyjamas and doing lots of book based activities including a treasure hunt, reading in the park, designing book covers as well as plenty of reading.
