Autumn Watch at Newhailes - P2 November 14, 2008

Posted by Steve Wood in : P2, Uncategorized , add a comment

What a miserable day of weather we had for our Autumn Watch, but despite the cold and wet the children had a good time. We looked at berries and funghi and played a parachute game. Challenge and outdoor learning (in all weathers) is a big part of what we are trying to do in P2. This visit had a good mix of both. Thanks to the Ranger and parents who helped with this trip. We have a winter watch in December - hope the weather is more kind!

This term primary 1 are lucky enough to be getting the art specialist. Each house will spend 2 afternoons with her. Carlyle have been already. They made a beautiful autumn painting and some oil pastel fish pictures! Have a look at our funky fish! The other two houses will go over the coming weeks. They are looking forward to it!

We have all had a chance to get some fresh air, exercise and learn a lot about nature during our first day out in primary 1. The three houses went out on separate days and we were all blessed with lovely weather. Thank you to Hannah the ranger for helping us learn so much, and a BIG thank you to the parents who came along. Always very grateful for your support.
