P4 Update

Written by: Finlay

In P4, we have been learning about advertising and media to help us prepare for the Christmas Fair. And it is very exciting, we can’t wait! We are going to use other skills too, such as language and mathematics to run our enterprise stalls. There are various things we have to do, like planning our purchasing and creating adverts.

P1/2 Update

Written by: Max L

In P1/2 we have been learning about different ways you can use line to create pictures. First we created different shaped line monsters, then we used line to create a landscape picture and finally we decorated line snakes for art. It was really fun.

We have also been learning about the weather. We made weather clocks to show the different weathers outside. Some of our class really wanted to include a sandstorm but we don’t get many of those outside our school! It was fun and cool.

For Diwali, we learnt about the story of Rama and Sita. We really enjoyed hearing about the evil king, Ravana, and his trickster ways. We wrote and illustrated our own version of the story.

Bake sale Fundraiser

Our bake sale on Friday 2nd of November raised a whopping £151.80 to help us invest in resources to develop the nursery.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took time to donate some delicious baking for us to sell, and to everyone who donated to our total! We especially want to thank those parents and family members who took on a leading role in organising and running the event. We are so impressed with what we have raised so far and really appreciate all your support!

Happy Diwali!

This week we have been learning all about the Hindu celebration of Diwali.  We have been busy making diyas and designing our own rangoli patterns out of glitterToday one of our families came in to share the Diwali story, answer our questions about how Diwali is celebrated, and share their traditions during the festival of light.

Our Week in P5M

Written by: Isabella and Alfie

P5M have been learning about the digestive system. We made fake poo(!) out of bananas, crackers, water and orange juice. There were three groups constipation, normal and diarrhoea. We had to vary the amount of liquid we added to each to achieve a different consistency. The next step was to squeeze our mixture through a pair of tights, which represented our intestines. We had a great time but it was also very unpleasant!

Lottie and Ingrid came to our school and showed us how to make masks and we decorated them. Thank you so much for your help! We got to be very creative by making masks similar to those that can be seen in the Diwali Parade in Edinburgh, on Saturday 3rd November. We had lots of fun doing this activity. They were so colourful and shiny.

HAPPY DIWALI!!!!!!!!
