We have been busy again this week and have loved our Art work…we designed Highland cows with wooly forelocks and googly eyes!
We have also worked on our shape recognition and number formation.
Our literacy skills are also coming along stormingly…a bit like the weather! We have headed out though…undeterred by the squalls, and enjoyed time on the Kick Pitch and Trim Trail.
This week we are ending on a high too with our continuing love of all things P.E. and Sensory!
P4/3 enjoyed the Career Fair last week. The children learned about a variety of jobs in the local community and the work involved in these important roles. The children were excellent at asking purposeful questions to learn more about these different jobs. A great learning experience for all!
Congratulations to our wonderful P4 children who received the Sacrament of Holy Communion yesterday in the Church. We are all very proud of you and it was a joy to see you on this special day.
May God bless you as you continue on your journey of faith.
On Thursday P6 went to St Margaret’s to take part in the annual Almond Cup. We competed in a fun day of football, tennis, fitness, rugby, javelin and more! We competed for points and displayed our super team working and motivational skills.
We also enjoyed a delicious hot dog lunch and enjoyed using the high school’s sports facilities.
Added to the fun was the booming sound track and sunny weather so a good time was had by all! Well done P6 you did St Mary’s proud!
It has been a busy and active couple of weeks at St Mary’s. We’ve had a slightly chilly but successful sports day and a jam packed health week. Highlights were our annual visit to the bowling club, sorry I’ve no pictures, and the visit on Friday from PC Henderson, who kindly answered about 1523 questions from P5 and P6! Have a lovely weekend.
Nurture class had so much fun at the careers fayre! The children loved exploring the police cars, fire engines and ambulance up close. They enjoyed chatting with the officers and had great fun trying on some of the uniforms. It was a brilliant hands-on experience and a very exciting day for everyone.
P3 Careers Fair 👩🚒👮♂️
Yesterday, P3 had a very fun and exciting day taking part in our Careers Fair. We enjoyed learning about lots of different jobs and the skills people need for their careers.
P3 met people from a variety of careers including emergency services, makeup artists, beauticians and even a Scotmidworker, which was especially exciting as some of us visit the shop every day!
P3 particularly enjoyed learning about the emergency services and loved having a turn using the firefighter’s hose. It was a great hands-on experience😁
This was followed by a fun play afternoon hosted by our Digital and Play Committee. P3 enjoyed taking part in the different activities and getting creative.
We have been bathed in glorious sun this week and our smiles have been shining too as we have played and learned with, and from, each other.
We have built castles in the sand and have learned about mixing colours in our sensory play with beautiful coloured sand. Our focus on beautiful colours has also extended into our Literacy studies, where we have been learning about colours in the world around us. Colour has also been a focus in our Art activities where we designed our own Elmer the Elephant paper mosaics with vibrant colours.
We have also explored the sensory sensation of the water tray on the Trim Trail and enjoyed the challenge of arranging blocks in the Outdoor Classroom into patterns of our own making.
Busy, busy!
Primary 1 have had another fabulous learning week!
On Monday we learned all about Pentecost and how the Holy Spirit is all around us. We made our own Holy Spirit headbands.
As well have caterpillars 🐛 in class we have been learning all about the life cycle of butterflies 🦋 and we used this to inspire out artwork. We discussed how butterflies 🦋 are symmetrical and created our own butterflies 🦋 . We had lots of fun creating our butterflies.
A special visitor made a delivery 📦 to our classroom, a dragon 🐉 looking for help with Fairyland. The dragon left us lots of fairytale books 📚 to read and asked us to red them and created our own fairyland. Primary 1 decided to start with Jack and the Bean Stalk. We enjoyed listening to the story, exploring the pictures in the book and we used the ideas to create our own giant and beanstalk 🫘 🌱.
During the week we also got to enjoy watching the Teachers v Pupils netball game, we enjoyed cheering on our teacher.
On Thursday we had a super afternoon at the school careers fair, we loved meeting parents who came in to share what they do as a job as well as people from the emergency 🚨 services. This was very interesting and lots of fun! Thursday afternoon was also “play afternoon “ Which the Creative and Digital committee had planned, it was great to be able to bring in toys from home and share why we like them with our friends.
Have a lovely weekend everyone 😀
This week, our Nurture Class had lots of fun taking part in Health Week. The children enjoyed trying lots of different activities throughout the week and had a great time keeping active.
We learned some new skills in judo, took part in marathons and active games, and had lots of fun trying circus skills too! The children especially enjoyed having the chance to try new activities and challenge themselves.
Well done to everyone for taking part and making Health Week such an enjoyable week!
