2 of our new P1s for next session will be visiting us on Monday afternoon and will spend the afternoon in school. We hope that they will love it as much as all the other P1-3s do!

Ms. Finlayson will be visiting the both the nurseries the children currently attend to have a look at the nursery environment and see some of the work the children are currently doing. She’s looking forward to seeing how active and outdoor learning are working in nursery, and how the nursery are planning to implement A curriculum for Excellence in the new session.

P1-3 are learning about the weather for their environmental studies topic this term. Luckily (if you like to look at it that way!) the changeable weather in the last few weeks has provided us with lots of oppotunities to experience different types of weather first hand! Today we even had thunder after school, so that will provide a talking point for tomorrow’s ES lesson!

P3 have been measuring the weather using various instruments and then recording the information using MS excel and printing out bar charts. Last week we measured wind speed with our anemometer, and this week we are measuring rainfall. (Could we have picked a better week for it?!) Unfortunately one of the rain gauges decided to join in one of the playground games today and has now been sent to the great big recycling bin in the sky. Next time, we’ll think even harder about the location!
