Christmas Party

We had a great party today with games, music, dancing and prizes.

We had good fun, then at 2:45pm we got a visitor.

Santa arrived with parcels for each class.

He asked if we had been good!

Class 1/2 were excited to go up for their parcels.

Then the school gave Santa a parcel to say thank you for visiting us.

We opened our parcels together and then we had ice lollies before hometime.

Board Games with P3/4

We went through to P3/4 to play board games.

They had read the instructions the previous day and learnt how to play the games first.

Then they took P1/2 in pairs to try the games.

There was a lot of good group work.

And P3/4 were very helpful.

P1/2 have now got a better idea of what to do when they are choosing this as a play activities.

Everyone enjoyed the session.

P3/4 thought they would like to help us with the games another day.

Christmas Dinner

We were really looking forward to our Christmas dinner.

The kitchen ladies worked hard to get everything ready.

New Pupil in P1

There is a new pupil in P1 today.

His name is Brandon. We took him on our walking route to see the seals.

There were lots of seals in the water looking at us. We sang Jingle Bells to them in seal talk! 

P3/4 Story Time

P1 were lucky today to get a story read by P3/4.

P2 were great and finished tidying the art room after our craft session. They will get the story next time.

Learning about Time

Using the white board for play activities.

P3/4 Story Time

Two pupils from P3/4 came to read to a group of P1/2 children.

We had six volunteers and they really enjoyed the story.

Thursday with Mrs Charlesworth

We had Mrs Charlesworth in for a lesson on Thursday.

She did a great activity with string, foil and felt tips to create stained glass widow effects.

Book Bug Visit

We were really lucky to have visitors from the Kirkwall Library today.

They came to share a story with us and give P1 a book bag with three lovely books, an activity workbook, colouring pencils, whiteboard and dry wipe pen.

P2 were really lucky because they also got a picture book.

We listened to a story and then we did some dancing.

We did singing with actions and it was great fun.

Then we did an activity with the Book Bugs and a sheet of stretchy fabric.

The Book Bugs bounced and danced on the fabric.

They even managed to bounce as high as the solar system.

Then it was time for a static electricity song!

It worked!

We had really good fun and we really enjoyed the books we got.
