Playground Fun
We have been working to make our playground areas fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff have been leading games and activities with our children and we have seen such a positive impact. 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!
Outdoor Learning With P2
Primary 2 are really enjoying their outdoor learning again, now that the weather is getting better. They have been sharing books and stories, setting up the hammock independently and collecting rubbish from our site.
Film Making in P1b
Jonathan from D fie foe, film makers joined us to help develop our movie making skills!
Our first movie ‘Give us a wave’ was produced, filmed and directed by the P1 children.
Busy, Busy, Busy in P6/7!
P6/7 have been busy!
We have been rehearsing for our performance of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In maths, we have been interpreting data from bar, line and pie charts.
We have been focussing on discussion writing and thinking of arguments for and against as well as our own opinion.
We planted our potatoes this week and will be watching them grow and adding more compost as soon as we see the green leaves appear. We are hoping to grow lots.
P6 took part in the Inveralmond cluster cross country and one of our girls won 1st place. We are so proud of her. Our girls team also came top in the competition, They will go on to represent us in the next stage of the competition in September. Fantastic!
Gardening in the sun
P5 have enjoyed working on our class allotment in the sun. We prepped the soil and planted some onions and spring onions. We can’t wait to see them start to sprout! Many of us are very excited for the Gardening Club to start up.
P1 Have Their Say!
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!).
P7 Prepare for Joseph
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!
Go Go Go P6/7
P6/7 have been working hard to learn our songs, actions and positions for our Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat show. We have been busy creating props, organising costumes and filming. It is a lot of work!
We have tidied the front garden and have been chitting potatoes which are now ready to plant.
Some of our P7 class members were at a sports festival which was excellent, and they had great fun.
Shape Play in P4/5
In P4/5 we have been working on shape. Through play with 3D shape we have been creating buildings and other structures and describing them using mathematical language, such as vertices, edges and faces. We also created 3D shapes from their nets and went on a 3D shape hunt around our block and our classroom.
