The last full day at camp continued the same successful story for all our campers. Raft-building, Bush-skills and archery were among today’s highlights. What has really been apparent to instructors and teaching staff, has been the way teamwork and togetherness has really deepened in the group. The ability to work together to overcome challenges, knowing each other’s strengths and when to support has really shone through today. We ended our day with campfire stories, songs and marshmallows. Lots of memories which will never be forgotten!
P7 Camping Update Wednesday 31st May
Wow- another stunning day in sunny Broomlee. Sleepy heads at 7:30 this morning but breakfast of cereal, croissants (chocolate ones too) and toast helped set us up for the day. Catwalk for one of the groups and Raft Building were 2 of many highlights of the day. A big shout out to Sam and Shannon who were voted ‘Best Leaders’ during Nightline activity by their team along with Miss Lindsay who climbed to the top (yes the TOP) of the Catwalk. Again lots of smiles, hard work and success for all. At this time, we are completing camp quiz activities. Well done to each and every one of our amazing Campers.
Tay Class Update
Last week was another busy week in Tay Class. Here are a some photos of what we’ve been doing…
All of us really enjoyed playing the glockenspiels:
We have listening to the story and songs about ‘What the Ladybird Heard’. We played a game on the Phonics Bloom website where we matched the sound to the correct animal. Below ‘A’ and ‘H’ are matching the pictures of baby animals to the pictures of the adult animal.
‘B’ and ‘L’ have really enjoyed playing the keyboard. They have been learning to wait and take turns.
‘Choose Time’…
‘A’ enjoyed modelling with the plasticine. ‘H’ build a super model with the Duplo and ‘A’ enjoyed playing with a new dinosaur that Miss M. kindly brought in for us.
Trim Trail fun…
exploring, balancing, climbing and running!
‘A’ and ‘A’ learning to share resources
Happy Campers in Sunny Broomlee
What a fabulous start to our P7 Camp. After an uneventful bus journey, we were straight to activity. Both groups enjoyed testing their teamwork in Low Ropes, tackling fear of heights in Catwalk (amongst the birds in the trees) and their strategic thinking during Crate Climb. Lots of fun and excitement amongst all pupils, with a bucket load of pride as everyone was successful. After a hearty dinner we are now playing Highland Games in the beautiful evening sunshine. Happy Campers!
Construction Club – Robot Week
P6 meet buddies at outdoor learning and enjoy a trip to the library
This week P6 enjoyed a trip to West Calder Library to borrow a book and collect some topic books about The Victorians.
We also enjoyed meeting our nursery buddies in the woods and took part in an outdoor learning session together.
It’s also been a full on week finishing our props and scenery for Shrek the Musical.
Well done P6!
Lego club’s bytes and bots!
This week Lego club’s challenge was to create a Robot with a specific function. As expected, our clubbers rose to the challenge and a new wave of bots came into being!
We had a robot that makes the jungle tidy with its long arm. We also had a robot dog that could fly and a robot cat that didn’t ‘byte’. We also had a team that programmed a robot that offered a number of functions including a spinning arm, a sensor light and a basket ball net! There was also a Robot that was designed to clear things out of the way.
Well done Lego club!
Primary 1 Class Talks
We had another amazing group of P1 pupils delivering their class talks today. All 4 children were very well prepared and had brought in their favourite fairytale and had made a fantastic poster to support their talk. Macie ‘s favourite was Dumbo, Evan loves Toy Story, Ariana’s favourite story is the Plum Fairy and Grace read Rapunzel to us. Well done everyone.
Numeracy Day in P1
To celebrate Numeracy Day we went outside to see that maths and numeracy can be fun. We realised that we use numbers regularly when we are playing. We counted how many passes we could make with the ball before dropping it. We drew shapes on the ground using chalk. We wrote numbers, some of us wrote all the way up to 40. We also played hopscotch where we had to read numbers and count.
Primary 4
Primary 4 had a great time at sports day on Wednesday. We all showed good sportsmanship and congratulated the winning house team, St Margaret.
We have been all working hard to prepare for the school summer show! We have a variety of participants in our class, dancers, actors and stage production team! Everyone has a job and we have all been working very hard.
Primary 4 have also been busy planting trees in the front playground. We have planted pear and apple trees, we hope that they will grow big and strong.
