We have been really loving the playground in the cold weather over the last week. It has allowed for lots of different play opportunities during our breaktimes. Our pupils and staff have been creative with their play and had lots of fun. We made sure we were wrapped up for the weather though!
We are continuing to develop our playground areas to make them fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff are leading games and activities with our children and we are continuing to see the positive impact it is making. The pupils are engaged, helping each other, using their imaginations and becoming more independent in leading these activities themselves.
Our playgrounds are such positive places to be!
At Coding club over the last two weeks we have been developing our knowledge and skills through the use of code.org and Scratch. We have coded our own game of Flappy Bird, achieved certificates for our hours of code and animated our names using code.
Halloween has featured a lot in our learning in P4/5 over the last week! One of our favourite experiences was experimenting with static electricity to make our spooky ghosts fly!
P4 have been creating a text map of the water cycle as part of their explanation writing.

P2/3 have been exploring the works of different artists. This week we looked at Piet Mondrian. Did you know Mondrian began as an artist by painting realistic landscapes?!
He then changed how he painted – he didn’t want his pictures to look like nature, he wanted to explore how colour and line worked together.
P2/3 had a go at creating their own pieces of simple Mondrian art using only a few colours.
Primary 1 have had the opportunity to take advantage of the area which they have had a hand in designing. We asked the pupils what they would like to play with and have, where ever possible, tried to accommodate their ideas (the swimming pool, bouncy castle and flat screen tv were a little beyond us though!).
In P7 this week we designed a poster that will be used to promote our upcoming performances of Joseph and the Technicoloured Dream Coat. We considered what information was required, how we would ensure we had an eye-catching layout and included photographs that grabbed the reader’s attention. If you’re lucky enough to be attending, see how many of the posters you can spot around school!
