A Sporty Week

We’ve all been really lucky this week with some wonderful weather for our sports day and our family walk and picnic.  A big thankyou to the Ross High pupils who came and helped us with sports day and to all the relatives and friends who joined us on our walk to Pencaitland.  Thanks too, to Pencaitland Primary School for letting us use their toilets and their field for our picnic.

Well done to everyone who made it on the 4 mile journey!

P5 Walk to the Yew Tree

On Thursday 18th June, we finished off our plants and flowers topic by going for a walk to the yew tree near Ormiston Hall.  It’s a really old tree - one of the oldest in Scotland - and it has poles to support some of the branches.  It was a long walk but it was good fun to climb on some of the connected trees when we got there.

Thanks to Richard the Ranger, Mrs Adams and Mr Milne for coming with us.

Primary 4 are Technological Stars

Primary four have completed their topic about vertebrates and invertebrates. They finished this by making giant ladybirds with moving wings.

Primary six are learning how to be safer on the roads around Ormiston. This week they have been learning how to let other road users know when they are on the road and how to stay safe when cycling their bikes.

Pirate Assembly

The shipmates in Primary 1 have been working hard over the last couple of weeks, learning songs and actions for their assembly.  We had all hands on deck this morning, including help from a big brother pirate!  Timbers were shiverred, a plank was walked and Captain Scarface Black steered his crew over the Irish Sea to find the treasure!

Moving On

Primary four tell Primary three what to look forward to next session.

P6 Volcanoes

Primary six have been learning about Extreme Landscapes this term. It was very interesting to observe volcanoes emerging in the corridor outside their classroom. The class were the envy of many as they then got to test them outside in the back playground. It looked amazing fun!

P1 Drama

Primary 1 had a visit from Shona Davison from the Brunton Theatre this morning.   She told us a story about a little girl called Jenny, who had a bad dream.  P1 came up with lots of ideas for the story and acted out part of it.  They were very convincing monsters!

June 10, 2009

This is a very busy month as we head towards the end of term and indeed the end of the school session for 2008-2009. Learning stories are almost ready to go home for that very important last comment from the parents’. Make sure to check out what your child has been achieving this term.
School is closed on Monday the 8th June for a teacher’s inservice day when the teachers work on the new curriculum for excellence targets.
School sports day is on the 17th June all day! (with a back up date of the 23rd June if the weather is bad or the ground is too wet).
Last year we had a very successful whole school walk at the end of June and so it has been included again this year. We hope to also have a picnic on our way to Pencaitland this time.
Primary seven are getting very excited as they look forward to the two day visit to the Ross High School on the 10th and 11th of June. We will say farewell to them at the end of term Church Service held in Ormiston Parish Church on the 25th of June at 9.30am. The end of school term also sees the annual Ormi’s Got Talent contest take place so Simon Cowell had better watch out! School finishes at usual time on 26th June.
