One of P1A’s learning highlights has been investigating some of the new equipment that has arrived in school!
We used guttering, pipes, our new guttering stands, water and cars to set up an area for the children to experiment with the resources.
The children said they had so much fun seeing how super fast the cars went down the guttering and pipes. They also said that they enjoyed putting the water down the pipes.
Following on from the children’s learning on water 💧 staff provided open ended loose parts in the woods to support the children’s play. P1B used lots of science skills, problem solving and great communication to have a fantastic afternoon of outdoor learning!
P4/5 have been used their knowledge of division to support their work on fractions this week. we have enjoyed playing fractions games on the Promethean board, had some fun “cookie lessons” with Mrs Brearley and designed our own pizzas to show fractions.
What is your favourite pizza topping?
Safer Internet Day was officially on Tuesday 8th February this week, however we wanted to celebrate this for the whole week.
Across our classes this week pupils were learning more about staying safe online, particularly around this year’s theme, ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’. The Digital Leaders set assignments on TEAMS and SEESAW for everyone to complete.
Digital Leaders shared online safety posters with each class to display in their ICT area. and at assembly they also shared their next exciting digital challenge for our learners – task focusing on staying safe online. This competition is going to be our biggest yet, with a very exciting prize!
This week P6/7 have been developing their coaching skills during PE lessons. On Monday we worked with WL College Sports Coach on our football skills.
We love PE and really enjoy when we have coaches in to take lessons, so much so we decided to take on the role of the coach ourselves for our PE session on Wednesday.
We worked our classmates hard!
Primary 3 have been working on partitioning in maths. Here they are explaining one of their strategies.

Last week we looked at the biodiversity of our woods. We found many plants and insects living there, so this week we took on the challenge of creating some bug homes/hotels for the wide variety of minibeasts inhabiting the area and to attract many more, using only resources we found in the woods.
When creating our homes and hotels we made sure to think about the conditions and requirements for the bugs – dark, wet, well concealed, access to food, etc.
The minibeasts moved in quickly!
We had such a fun morning in P4/5 this morning. We took our art out to the wooded area of our playground and used the materials and resources that we found there to create some fantastic pieces of art!
P6/7 have begun training for our Cluster pentathlon this week. On Monday we practiced our shuttle runs and coached and encouraged each other to better our times. Today we worked on speed bounces. We had to make sure our bounces were “good” by ensuring we took off on 2 feet, landed on 2 feet, so what better way to practice than using the pogo balls!
We then transferred this skill to the wedge and counted how many we could do in 20 seconds. It was tough and we were very tired afterwards, but had lots of fun and managed to better our score each time.
How many bounces could you do in 20 seconds???
