Visiting the local community

On the final Wednesday of the term we went to St Rognvald's Residential Home.  We played all of the Orcadian and Australian songs we had been learning in Figurenotes.  Everyone did really well and  returned to school feeling proud.

 

 

Skipping for the British Heart Foundation

We had a busy day at the end of term completing our sponsored skip.  It was great to have our friends from Primary 5 there to encourage us and showw us some of the skills they had learned.

 

 

Before we started, we took part in a warm up with Mrs Linklater.  Then we were all set to go!

 

 

We all worked hard to complete as many skips as we could in 5 minutes.  A few people were absent due to illness so they will have the opportunity to complete the challenge at the start of the term.

We were very grateful for the juice the staff at Picky gave us at the end.

 

 

I wonder how many skips these people did?

 

Another orienteering opportunity

On Thursday we went to Mudddisdale to try another orienteering activity.  This time we were focusing on finding different Scottish landmarks.

We set out at top speed to find the different markers!

 

 

 Each time we found a picture we had to return to base and mark our chart the correct colour.

We all co-operated with our partners and made great teams.

Learning about the Chinese New Year

We are going to be doing some work on the Chinese New Year and last week we were lucky to have a visit from Bobby Lam.  He shared lots of information about the festival and showed us some interesting items.

 

Pancake making in Class 2

 Last week we worked together to make some pancakes.  We followed each of the instructions carefully and then enjoyed eating the finished product.  

  Can you describe what we are doing in each picture?

 

 

 

Orienteering at Muddisdale

Last week we went up to Muddisdale and did some orienteering.  We worked in pairs to find different Scottish animals.  Everyone worked well with their friend and followed the instructions carefully.  We were all tired when we returned to school!
