What a super start to the new school session in Ness Class. Our boys have been settling into their new learning environment and making new friends. Some of us are renewing friendships!
Already we are having lots of fun and getting stuck into our learning.
Lots to look forwards to this year.
The first few weeks of the session have gone well in Tay Class. The children have been very engaged during play and whilst exploring resources.
Our topic is ‘People Who Help Us’. We have been learning through songs and stories as well as playing with some emergency vehicles and a police station. We have used our art skills to make a variety of vehicles too. Some of the class added labels to diagrams of fire fighters and police officers and matched people to their vehicles.
A busy week in class where the boys have enjoyed their literacy and numeracy as well as Art using paints and silky pastels. Our first cookery session is tomorrow morning!
It’s been another busy couple of weeks in Tay Class. We all had a lovely day out at Edinburgh Zoo yesterday. We especially had fun at the play park. Thank you again to all the parents who came along!
We had fun outside too at the trim trail.
Here are a few photos of our learning activities in class. Great effort Tay Class!
Who knew National Sausage Roll Day was a thing…Primary 5 knew!
Yesterday (June 5th) we spent some of our morning making our own sausage rolls to either, eat at lunch time or bring home to share with our families.
The class worked so hard and really enjoyed eating our homemade sausage rolls!
It has been a very busy, sunny week in P5!
We’ve nearly finished our Time topic in numeracy and the children have all done really well completing this.
In grammar, this week we were focussing on Time Connectives to help us with our writing topic of Exposition. We practiced these by completing an activity on our desks in small groups.
We were using different active methods to practice our spelling word this week and had the choice of scrabble tiles, foam letters or partner testing!
We ended our week with Sharing Our Learning focussing on Friendship, Trust and Communication. Thank you so much for all who participated, it was a great morning and the class loved it.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend in the sunshine!
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.
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
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!
Last week was ‘Health Week’ in school. The Health Committee worked hard to organise lots of activities so thank you very much to them for this.
Tay Class enjoyed songs and games about healthy food. We absolutely loved the ‘Smoothie Bike’. ‘H’ helped chop up some fruit and then most children took turns to add in the fruit and the juice. Most of us took turn to pedal the bike to make the blender work. The final result was some delicious healthy smoothie which some of us tried. ‘A’ really enjoyed his and drank it all. Great team effort Tay Class!
Tay Class had a very different PE time: there were sensory stations set up in the hall. Many of us loved the bubbles and the tent with lights and music. There was a sensory path to walk over and a foot spa full of orbeez- which ‘L’ especially enjoyed. We also cleaned the ‘germs’ off the hands and explored the touch and feel tray.
We really enjoyed using the bubble machines in class too.
