Mr McEvoy returned to Primary 2 and Primary 2/1 today with a special bag of puppets. The puppets were different animals and we learned their names in French. One of the puppets wasn’t feeling very well so we had to be a good doctor and help the dog (chien) puppet by putting a plaster over its sore body part. This helped us to refresh what we had learned before Easter in our key phrases and the body.
We would to thank Mr McEvoy for these fun and engaging lessons!

Primary 5 are starting a block of tennis lessons with a coach called Eoin Swan. The children are really looking forward to tackling a new sport.They will require an outdoor P.E. kit consisting of joggers or leggings, a t-shirt, a sweatshirt and a pair of outdoor trainers. Primary 5b will be doing tennis on a Thursday and Primary 5a on a Friday.
P2 worked hard today in their first art session with Miss Notman! We looked at the artwork of Ed Emberley and we were inspired to create our own ‘fingerprint zoo’. We used paint for the fingerprints and then added detail with a black pen. It was important for us to learn that our hands are an important tool in art, too! We produced very creative and vibrant work today!
We welcomed our visitors from Mumbai to our school yesterday with a wonderful assembly. We showcased some of our many talents and gave them a taste of our Scottish culture. We are all very excited to welcome Kirtida and Suprabha into our classes this week and cannot wait to share our learning with them. It is going to be a very busy but fun filled week at Williamston!

Some of our nursery children have been working hard to tidy out our veggie planter. We used the rakes and the forks to clear away all of the old soil and rotten leaves. Fresh soil was added before we planted some carrot seeds.
We have also renovated our bug hotel and have taken advantage of the amazing weather by getting outside with a magnifying glass to go on a bug hunt.
We have also looked at lots of non-fiction books on mini beasts and discussed how they are differnet from our story books.
In primary 2 and primary 2/1 there has been a buzz of excitement this week for the beginning of a brand new topic! We were all so excited and happy to discover our new topic is The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. So far, this week we have spent time discussing what we know already and what we would like to find out and which activities would make this topic super interesting. Primary 2b investigated the use of pulleys, primary 2/1 created lighthouses using technology and primary 2a spent some time outside using chalk to create a lighthouse picture.
