This week in Nurture class, we had lots of fun creating a beehive picture using finger painting as part of our mini beasts topic. Everyone enjoyed getting creative and exploring different textures and colours. We also had some very exciting news when one of our butterflies emerged from its cocoon! The children were fascinated to watch this special moment and enjoyed learning more about the butterfly life cycle.
Everyone in Primary 1 was delighted that our caterpillars 🐛 had emerged from their chrysalis as beautiful butterflies 🦋. We looked after them in the classroom for a few days, they loved oranges 🍊. When it was time t release them some of us we sad but we talked about how it wasn’t fair to keep the butterflies 🦋 in class as they needed to be able to fly. We loved seeing the butterflies 🦋 in the flowers 🌺.
Throughout the week we have explored different ways to measure 📏 we all enjoyed measuring each other as well as other items in the classroom.
On Friday we had our last Big Breakfast 🥞 and Sharing our Learning in Primary 1. Our theme this time was Health and Wellbeing and we decided that we wanted to share Worry Monsters with our adults. Everyone loves it when our adults come into school .
Have a lovely weekend 😀
Another week over, those holidays are looming in the distance! We’ve had another busy week here with Matilda practises coming in thick and fast. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of what is being prepared for you and it was fabulous. It was lovely to see so many of you today at our sharing the learning and we hope you enjoyed working with us. Have a lovely weekend!
This week has been another busy and exciting one in P3!
One of the highlights of our week was releasing our butterflies. We were so excited to watch them fly away after observing their life cycle in our classroom. One butterfly even landed on a member of P3’s head before taking off! We discussed why it was important to let the butterflies go and learned that they need to live in their natural habitats where they can find food, shelter and other butterflies.
As part of our topic, we have begun planning and designing our own castles. P3 have come up with lots of fantastic ideas and are looking forward to building them. Any donations of clean cardboard boxes, tubes or plastic materials would be greatly appreciated to help us with our castle construction.
In maths, we have been enjoying learning about fractions. P3 have been exploring halves, quarters and thirds through a variety of practical and fun activities.
To finish off our week, we completed a recount of our trip to Deep Sea World. Everyone produced some amazing writing and worked hard to include lots of detail. We were delighted when Miss Pritchard came to visit our classroom and read some of our work. She was very impressed! Two P3 boys were also awarded a special Be Proactive wristband by Miss Pritchard in recognition of their excellent attitude and effort.
Well done, P3, for another fantastic week of learning! 🌟🦋🏰✏️📚
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.
