Nursery trip to Duthie Park
The Nursery 1 AM class enjoyed their visit to Duthie Park to learn all about minibeasts. We made fantastic minibeast masks and hunted for real minibeasts!
Drama in P4!
P4 have been working with Kate, a local artist whose practice is Drama. Kate has been helping the children work in groups and evaluate how well they work together to produce a variety of drama pieces.
P4 takes on the Wild Challenge!
Feel The Force
P3 have been introduced to their new topic, Feel the Force. We did a fun art activity where we learned about the force of push and pull as well as friction and gravity. We learned that the paint would not move itself without the force of another object. We also looked at friction through a fun game of tug of war.

P4 SSPCA Litter & Animals Film
Last week, P4 worked hard to plan and film a short message about how littering can affect animals. The film has been submitted to the SSPCA as part of an anti-littering campaign they are running. The children are all very proud of the film. This is a screenshot from the submitted film.
Nursery Spring Walk
The Nursery enjoyed their spring walk up the Gramps. We found lots of signs that spring has sprung!
P3/4 and our Topic ‘Senses’
P3/4’s mini topic for term 4 is ‘The Senses’. We have been enjoying learning about the amazing features of our bodies and how fortunate we are to have our senses! We started our topic with a ‘Senses Challenge’ where we had to go around each station and complete the challenge using that sense. P3/4 particularly enjoyed the taste test!
P4 (Stuart Reid) Creative Writing Workshop
After hearing all about Stuart Reid’s exciting and funny GORGEOUS GEORGE book series in a special assembly, P4 were lucky enough to have Stuart Reid in the classroom helping them solve creative writing problems like starting a story in an entertaining way that hooks the reader, creating and describing memorable characters and setting, and using their own experiences as starting points for stories. The children had great fun and learned a lot of skills we will use to write our own Fantasy books in a few weeks.
