Mrs Wassell and Mrs Docherty P4 Outdoor Learning Ideas 21.5.20

Today is outdoor classroom day! Here are some amazing outdoor activities Mrs Wassell and Mrs Docherty has planned  for you to try in your garden or when on your daily exercise. Make sure you take lots of pictures and share them on Teams.

Bug Hotel

Placing a bug hotel in the garden helps attract different insects to naturally visit your garden. Over the next few weeks it will be really interesting to see what bugs come to visit your garden. Lots of bugs help keep garden pests away and protect the beautiful flowers. Can you make your own bug hotel for your garden or an area you like to visit? Here are some examples. Try to use recyclable materials.

    

 

 

Bird Feeder

Bird feeders help attract birds to come and visit you. Can you make your own bird feeder using recyclable materials? Here are some examples.

Art  in Nature

Can you use nature to create some amazing art creations?

– Can you design you name using materials found in nature.

– Use leaves  to create a beautiful pattern.

– Create some bugs using things you find on your daily walk or in your garden.

Have a great day and enjoy the activities!

Mrs Docherty HWB: Positive Song for the Week 19.5.20

Good morning everyone. I hope you have all had a lovely long weekend. Over the weekend I stopped for a while and just sat and listened to what was all around me. As I listened I could hear so many wonderful sounds of nature. The birds could be heard singing their songs, more loudly than I have ever heard them, and all around life seemed still and quiet.

As I sat, it brought back a song that I feel sums up exactly what we can see and hear in these uncertain times. As we all wait for lockdown to be lifted and we take time in what is normally our very busy lives we can all appreciate what is important and what is special about life. The words of the song What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong sum it all up.

 

 

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

 

It is a beautiful and uplifting song that really made me sit back and appreciate what life is and what it means. It means friendship, love and all of the beauty around us. Please listen to the song and know that while the world might look different just now it will emerge even brighter and we will return again to St Ninian’s grateful for what we have come through as a team.

Have a great week,

MRS DOCHERTY’S POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK  15.5.20

Another Friday and the end of another fabulous week of work and support. I started this week with our positive song of the week: Somewhere Over the Rainbow which shared a message of hope and determination. This is exactly what we all have in abundance at the moment and continue to have going forward.

My positive thought for this week is one that sums up all of your positivity and our hopes as a school community.

Your comments, the daily work being shared and your positive messages of support through this time embody our school values and also the quote above. You are our rainbow and what has really struck us as a school is the care, love, support and friendship you have shown to us as your children’s teachers and as your friends.

It is the simplest of things and the Thursday Clap for our Carers that shows our rainbow shining through in these times and really make me smile knowing we are supporting each other and showing kindness and courage towards each other. Keep smiling and keep being that rainbow in someone else’s storm.

Thank you for being you and being brilliant. We couldn’t ask for a better set of children and parents for our school.

Have a great weekend and as always stay safe,

 

Mrs Docherty
