Curriculum cafe – Outdoor learning
Thank you to all our parents, carers and family members who visited our curriculum cafe this afternoon. We are committed to providing children with a wealth of learning experiences and we hope today we were able to showcase the variety of outdoor learning activities we have on offer at Woodmuir primary school. These sessions in school have helped to increase engagement in learning, encourage thinking, teamwork , resilience and creativity. The children sang beautifully and proudly represented our school. We greatly appreciated everyone who joined in today and participated in all the activities on offer.
Outdoor learning fun
On Tuesday we had our regular session with Mr Reid. We were very excited to make our own fires and learn all about fire safety. Everyone was engaged in their learning, risk assessing and was connecting with nature. We had a great afternoon and even roasted a few marshmallows!

HWB community meeting
Today we were very lucky to have Melissa Dunn from our council HWB team come along to talk to partners and pupils on what actions we can we can take in the local area with a focus on sustainability and climate. They met with our eco reps in school who went along to join in the collaboration and suggest their own ideas.
Outdoor play
Life’s a beach
Today we enjoyed a fabulous day outdoor learning at Aberdour beach, exploring the landscape safely and having fun in the sand. We had plenty of exercise, made sandcastles in the sand, collected shells, pebbles and paddled in the sea. Tomorrow we will use this experience in our writing lesson to describe the beach.
Health and Well-being
This week P5-7 had the chance to train up in leading their own lunch time club. During session 1 we explored the skills we would need to be able to organise a games club and we talked about the different sports we might like to play. Next week it is an outside active school’s session.
During Outdoor Learning we created our own design of our favourite book using only natural materials. We are also very proud of our new Bike shed!
Robert Burns Cottage and Museum
On Wednesday P5-P7 had a fabulous visit to Alloway in Ayrshire to learn more about social history and the famous poet Robert Burns. We visited the flagship museum after our sunny walk that weaved through the village, along the Poet’s Path, taking us from historical buildings to landmarks known to Burns. We also stepped inside Burns Cottage after our workshop, where Robert was born in 1759. Our favourite part was dressing up in character and the interactive museum.
