Savoury week and we made toasties. We all enjoyed picking our toppings and  tasting them once cooked.

We can’t believe that we are at the end of our second term at St Mary’s.
This week we have enjoyed sensory experiences…we love the different textures of jelly and cream!
Some of us have also enjoyed playing shopkeeper!
We have also enjoyed our breakfast in class and lunch times with our friends.
We have also challenged ourselves to completing jigsaws.
In our time outside we have loved playing in the Spring sunshine and hope next term to leave our wellies behind!
We have also continued to brush our teeth in class and put our coats and shoes away to keep our class tidy.
We wish you all a wonderful holiday period together and we hope that you join us again in April to follow our adventures in the Summer Term!
Lomond Class Update
The class did some lovely daffodil inspired paintings and collage recently. Â Many enjoyed mixing paint colours again. Â This art work is proudly displayed on our Spring wall. Â We also made some Easter cards outdoors with Miss Nelson – theyâll be going home soon.
Our book of the week was âThe Smartest Giant in Townâ. Â Several of the children chose to look at/read this book in their own time and one even re-enacted some of the story out in the field. Â Fantastic!
We had a very active time in PE again with Mrs McMaster and enjoyed the Spring sunshine on Thursday in the kick pitch and field.
Have a lovely weekend.
Rannoch Class Update
Another busy week in Rannoch class.
We had fun outdoors with Ms. Nelson we made Easter cards.
In class, during Art this week we made some more Easter crafts – EGGS that turned into Bunnies.
On Friday, we visited Ness class for assembly which we will do every week from now on.
Primary 1
Primary 1 have been learning about the oceans and different creatures that live in it. This week we used this to create beautiful ocean scene pictures. We used different techniques to create layers on our pictures. We are all proud of our work and had lots of fun making them.
During RE this week as well as having a focus on lent and being forgiving like Jesus, we also learned about St Partrick. We created trinity shamrocks âď¸ to represent The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. We had to use lots of fine motor skills to create these.
During outdoor learning this week we were out in the garden starting our vegetable teepee. We had to carefully fill the planters with soil and sick a big bamboo stick in each one. Miss Stenhouse then tied them together before we planted our seeds. We have planted cucumber and bean seeds as they like to grow tall.
Have a lovely weekend đ
Cooking đ§âđł club
Sweet week in cooking club and we had a Easter đŁ theme.

Ness Class Spring Picnic
What a joy to see the sun shining and feel the temperatures rise. Ness class enjoyed linking their Food Technology learning to planning and then having a picnic in the sun.
We chose our bread, fillings and other acompanyments before packing our picnic and heading to the local park.
P3 đłâď¸
Yesterday during outdoor learning with Miss Nelson, Primary 3 had a fantastic time planting seeds. The children enjoyed getting hands-on in nature, learning how to plant and what plants need to grow. They worked together to dig holes, place the seeds in the ground, and talked about how these seeds will grow into trees in the future.
P3 could talk about what they had learned during outdoor learning!

P7/6 Theatre Trip and Outdoor Learning
Some of P7/6 enjoyed a trip to see Matilda in Edinburgh this week. It was a fantastic production! We are all looking forward to seeing the upper school put on the show at the end of the year!
In outdoor learning we have been planting trees and enjoying a blindfolded scavenger hunt!
In numeracy we are working on our decimals and in IDL we have begun a detailed look at WWII including which planes were used in the Battle of Britain and how the war began. We will be going on a school trip to East Fortune in May so we are looking forward to learning about this in class first!
In writing we have written several persuasive pieces – getting very good at this. We are also working on various spelling patterns and strategies, handwriting and guided reading skills. Well done P7/6!
TheLifeOfTay!
We have had a week of smiles and sun this week.
We are making great strides in our initial sound and CVC work.
We are also learning to match up halves and recognise patterns.
We have worked on our pencil control and have also used cotton buds to practice our fine-motor painting skills.
We have also been learning how to put pictures into order of size.
We have also loved time in P.E. and in the Sensory Room….and lunch!
In one week’s time we’ll have completed our second term at St Mary’s, and made so many wonderful memories!
