It was sweet week in cooking club this week.
Primary 5-7 made chocolate cornflake wreaths…. We hit a couple of problems but we used our perseverance and kept going.
In Primary 1 we made rice crispy chocolate Christmas 🎄 puddings, we had lots of fun and lots of tasting when making them.
We are looking forward to savoury week next week.
Some of our responsible Primary 7 children has an exciting trip to St Margaret’s High School for some transitions lessons. We left his morning and spend half a day at the high school. We were very excited when we returned and even came back to school with some tasty treats. Have a look at our photos. 
We have had a super week….Our Read, Write, Inc. studies are progressing well and in our Maths we have moved on to Addition and Subtraction within 20.
With December round the corner we have also been really excited to begin our rehearsals for the Christmas play in a few weeks. Our singing is coming on really well and we are learning all the actions too!
For the Christmas fayre we enjoyed designing our own elf door hangers and Christmas tree decorations – we hope you like them!
We have had a lovely week in Rannoch class…we enjoyed ‘super crunchy’ time on the Trim Trail with the frost early in the week. We found it surprisingly warm in the early winter sun.
We have also progressed in our learning of the initial sound ‘s’.
In our Beyond Number studies we looked to 3D shapes in the world around us…next week we are moving onto learning about displaying data through tally charts and block diagrams.
We also had a lovely time in the sensory room and enjoyed listening to relaxing music in class.
We are also really proud of our gifts for sale at the Christmas Fayre,,,we made glitter painted glass tea lights holders with Christmas ribbons…we think they look lovely!
Its amazing how Ness Class can lead their own learning! Stumbling upon an article during our Afternoon Group, the pupils were keen to learn about Fondue- what is it and where did it originate. We used our Floorbook to plan and organise our very own Fondue tasting session.
As you can see from the pictures, we found it…
‘interesting’ -Lochlan
‘super crunchy tasty’- Dominic
‘lots of tasty bites’- Laura
‘I put sprinkles on my fondue’- Hunter
‘I like the orange’- Shay
‘Thumbs Up’ – Nathan.
We were lucky to have our P7 Prefects in to help us with our tasting session- we found they enjoyed the event too!
Another busy week in Primary 1.
It is Catholic Education week and we have been learning about this years theme :
“Pilgrims of Hope”
We started our class talks this week in class and we all did very well.
We had another great session with our Primary 7 buddies, using the potato characters we made last week as inspiration we created comic strips together.
On Friday those of us who brought in our bank letter got to put our money into our account and collect our piggy 🐷 bank. Remember the school are paying £1 for every child so send your form back.
We have all worked very had on our Christmas 🎄 enterprise and are looking forward to seeing everyone at the school fair tomorrow.
First week back at cooking club and it was savoury week. Both Primary 5-7 and Primary 1 groups made chicken 🐔 noodle 🍜 soup.
We worked with partners to chop vegetables and put it all together to make soup. Using lots of different skills then cleaning up after we finished cooking.
Lots of us tasted things for the first time, we are super proud of each other.
Primary 4-7
Primary 1
We’ve continued to learn about money, time and shape. This week we’ve been learning about repeating patterns. We listened to/watched songs about patterns and H enjoyed dancing along to one of them too. We also did some pattern activities on the iPads. We’ve continued to practice our phonics through songs and activities. We’ve practiced our listening skills through activities on the iPads. We’ve listened to stories and explored the books in class. Some of us came to school in pyjamas today to celebrate world book day.
We’ve enjoyed time outdoors in the playground, field, outdoor class and the trim trail. It’s been very chilly this week so many of us were delighted at the contents of ‘What’s in the box?’ yesterday: hot chocolate, marshmallows and cream! We mixed up our own. Two of the class drank/ate all three things. Some of us just liked the cream and marshmallows.
We’ve celebrated several birthdays in class too. ‘A’ has been singing ‘Happy Birthday’ regularly over the past two months so he was very excited to celebrate his own birthday and hear people singing to him. His big smile says it all!
Primary 2 enjoyed a number of different activities as part of Book Week Scotland this week. The activities included participating in a whole school reading river, drop everything and read time, painting a book character on a potato, enjoying our book bags with our grown ups and hot chocolate.
What a fun week in Primary 1 have had enjoying book week…
On Monday we participated in the school book swap. We got to choose a book to take home!
Throughout the week we have enjoyed lots of stop 🛑 drop and read sessions. It was exciting waiting on the random bell.
After reading one of our book bag books, 10 Dogs, we decided we wanted to find out how many people in the school had a pet dog! We then decided that we wanted to collect information on how many people had pets in the school, not just dogs. Our P7 buddies helped us go round the school and collect the information.
We have also taken part in the river of reading, again our buddies helped us with this whole school activity. All the children had a book to read and we created a very long river, it was lots of fun.
On Wednesday we had a Book Bag 🎉 party, grown ups were invited into school and we were gifted our book bags to take home. The bag looks great and we couldn’t wait to get a look inside at all the books.
On Thursday we made dens and built tents outside for our outdoor learning, we read our books outside and had some hot chocolate ☕️. Later on we made book characters from potatoes 🥔 we have enjoyed reading Supertato and this inspired us.
Friday was pyjamas day in school, it was exciting to come to school in our pyjamas 😀 We also had special visitors, Biscuit and Muffin, the nursery guinea pigs. Those that wanted to were very gentle holding them.
Oh what an exciting and busy learning week we have had! Have a lovely weekend 😀
