Primary 7 Camp

A brilliant day had by all here in Broomlee. We have settled well into our dorms before heading out for our first activities! A delicious lunch was a big hit with lots of our campers before our afternoon activities-Low Ropes, toasting marshmallows and Night walk. Dinner was pasta with cake and custard then we finished the day with a game of snakes and ladders with a twist.

Exciting, fun, tiring, wonderful and thrilling were words given by our primary 7,s to sum up there day.

Now hopefully a long nights sleep.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure!

P6’s trip to Stirling Castle

P6 started their new topic after the holidays – learning about the Scottish wars of independence. William Wallace and Robert the Bruce are central to this important part of Scotland’s history, as is Stirling Castle. We enjoyed our trip and the lovely weather!

We started off on the esplanade where there is an imposing statue of Robert the Bruce and vies of the Wallace Monument. Next we explored the Queen Anne Garden, with its stone cannon balls, and took in the incredible view of the surrounding countryside. We could clearly see the castle was built on the crag as you would have had clear views in all directions in the event of a siege.

Next up was the Great Hall, Great Kitchens and  Palace where we got to interact with characters from the middle ages who told us all about the Castle and its royal inhabitants. We also saw the giant cannons and peeped through the holes they would have fired through.

After lunch we visited other parts of the castle including an exhibition and then went to the gift shop. It was such a fun day and we learned so much!  Well done too for being a credit to the school throughout the day!

Primary 1S

What an exciting week in Primary 1, we have had special visitors this week, Biscuit and Muffin, the guinea pigs from the nursery. Some of our friends from nursery brought the guinea pigs over and we go to play together.

We got to look after Biscuit and Muffin all week, we had to make their breakfast, make sure they have hay  and clean water. We enjoyed cuddles with them.

 

We enjoyed showing our friends our classroom.

On Tuesday we received a letter from a magic dragon from Fairytale land, he asked us to help save Fairyland by reading fairytale stories, he also asked us to make  fairyland corner in our class. We have started by making a giant beanstalk! Our Primary 7 buddies read us stories and we made Jack and  a giant together for our beanstalk.

This week we also enjoyed sometime outdoors in the school garden and the trim trail. In the garden we did some weeding and planted some flower seeds and we also watered the plants that we planted last time.

On Friday we walked up to the nursery to take Biscuit and Muffin home. We were very careful taking all there things back. We enjoyed playing with our friends in the nursery.

Have a lovely weekend.

What a good first week back in school for Primary 1S. We have all enjoyed being back in school seeing our friends and getting time to play together.

In class we checked on out potatoes 🥔 that were hiding in our trays, they had grown roots! During our outdoor learning we planted our potatoes 🥔 in the soil. We will check on then every week to see how they grow.

Primary 1S last week before 🐣 Easter

Primary 1S has had a very busy week.
On Monday we enjoyed our school cake and candy. We all did very well making sure we kept our money safe and paid for the cakes we wanted. For some of us it was hard to choose what we wanted to buy as there was a lot of choice!

We also did some Easter craft activities and enjoyed learning about the Bible story of Easter.

As we are coming into spring time on Tuesday we spent some time in our school garden. We decided as a class that we wanted to try and grow something we could eat. In the garden we have planted Gooseberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Blackcurrants and Blueberries 🫐. We had to prepare the planters by taking out all the weeds and putting plant food into the soil before planting our trees.

On Tuesday we also experienced our first school fun fair. We played lots of fun games.

 

On Wednesday we played Bingo! We worked with our Primary 7 buddies who helped us keep track of our numbers. We had lots of fun, even though we had to concentrate. Our class were lucky 🍀 to have two winners.

Our school also took part in a gymnastics 🤸 competition on Wednesday and we are all very proud of the gymnasts from our class that took part.

On Thursday we painted real boiled 🥚 eggs. Some of us have decided to take them home but some of us enjoyed tasting them.

And last but not least we got to watch and take part in our school talent show 🎤, St Mary’s Got Talent 2024. Our Dance Monkeys did the class proud.

Have a lovey Easter 🐣 Break.
