Starting this week with a visit to Breich Woodland in Spring, looking at the changes since Winter. We were on the lookout for bluebells, which we saw, animals coming out of hibernation, which we didn’t see, and the birds singing and building their nests.
We collected sticks to make kites to make the most of the Spring winds and used our meta skills to make other things, such as boomerangs, inspired by the shapes of the sticks we found.

As the weather is becoming brighter and a little warmer we were inspired by our classroom flowers. We looked closely at pictures made with oil pastels and discussed how great pastels are for drawing and making bright artworks. We practised some pastel techniques before starting to create our flowers! They look amazing, we are all super artists!
This morning we had an exciting Italian visitor from West Calder high school. We had great fun learning numbers and playing some fun language games.
We are all sad to be leaving Ford Castle soon as we have the best time!
We enjoyed busting some moves last night at the silent disco and our morning activities have been exciting. We’re all ready for some lunch and a chill on the bus home.
We had a great second day at Ford Castle. Today started with Trapeze followed by a sensory trail. After lunch we learned the basics of air rifle shooting and had a fun competition of Aeroball.
Getting ready for our silent disco later and our last night in dorms.
This morning we have had an energetic one before the holidays. We started off with Rugby learning new games and rugby skills. Then the sun shone for our morning play. We are all set for a fun morning before our Easter break and we hope all our families in Woodmuir primary have a relaxing and fun Spring break.
