As part of our Home Learning P2 pupils taught their adults at home about Children’s Rights and the SHANARRI wheel. Pupils discussed what their rights were and how their adults at home protect their rights. As a family they designed a family shield showing 4 of the rights and how they protect them as a family. Below are a few of the examples:

P2 have been learning about plants, naming the parts of plants and how they grow. We went outdoors to draw some plants and also planted sunflower seeds with P3. The seeds have sprouted and are ready to take home to repot.

P2 have been learning about data handling. They are becoming more confident with the meaning of data is and how they can use data.

To design a new car pupils wanted to know the most popular car colour to make sure more people would but their car.
They took a tally of car colours that passed the front of the school.
They turned the tally marks into a table, then into a bar graph. Finally they designed their cars based on the most popular car colour they saw.
We discussed the pupils different results and why we didn’t get an accurate answer to their question ‘what’s the most popular car colour?’ But they enjoyed the process and became more confident with the concept of data.

P2 had a wonderful time at the Zoo with P2/3 and P3. All pupils were responsible and respectful throughout the whole outing even when they were hot and tired at the end.

They participated in an Endangered animal game at the education centre and saw many animals.  We went to say good bye to the pandas and hello to the giraffes.

We even had time for a play in the park before heading back to school.

Last Week P7 headed off to their Camp!

This year we visited Fordell Firs in Fife for the first time and did some amazing activities accompanied by Mrs Laidler, Mr Devine and Mr Bennett.

We took on caving, climbing, crate climbing, abseiling, a challenge course and archery.

We also took on making our own beds and cleaning our own rooms. Even Mr D!

It was a great camp and we were all really impressed with how some people rose to challenges, conquered fears and phobias and in Mr B’s case fitted into that caving pipe.

We had visits from Mrs Honeyman, Mrs Mason and Mr Day

Bedtimes were of course interesting and many of our P7s have learned that Mrs Laidler is nocturnal and never leaves her bedtime guard post!

It was also lovely to celebrate a birthday.

Special thanks to Diane the caterering person who kept us well fed.

Well done everybody and thank you Fordell Firs! It was a great end of P7!
