Welcome to our website
Please can you practise rocking back and forth as shown in the video below.
I would love for everyone to be able to rock to stand by the February half term!
Maybe you could make it a family challenge?
Core muscles are very important, not only in P.E, but also for posture when writing or painting.
Thank you!
Where does our food come from? From a plant or animal? How does it grow?
We watched videos from Tesco’s Eat Happy Project to find out where porridge oats come from.
We then tested our knowledge using https://www.foodafactoflife.org.uk/5-7-years/where-food-comes-from-5-7-years/where-food-comes-from-interactive-resources-5-7-years/#PA
First we made porridge using porridge oats which come from a plant, and milk which comes from an animal. We tried the porridge for pudding during lunch time.
Next we prepared the potatoes ready for our haggis, neeps and tatties Burns Supper!
First we washed our hands and rolled up our sleeves. The table had been washed and all of the equipment. We peeled, chopped, boiled, strained, mashed, served and ate the mashed tatties. We set the table, poured the drinks and gave a toast. We were very brave and tried most of the foods. To become more comfortable with the new, sometimes scary, foods we used all of our senses – smelling, tasting and feeling the different textures of the food. Do you you like our home-made tartan placemats? We also enjoyed listening to some traditional Scottish music to make it a true party!

Ms Finalson set each of us the task to create a Worry Monster to help build our resilience. The aim is that the action of sharing your worries with your monster will bring you comfort. Sometimes the worry monsters each up your worries to! We planned, created and assessed our clay worry monsters with our Primary 6 buddies, using natural resources sources at Dunbar’s Close.
We have had so much fun exploring the Lunar (Chinese) New Year, especially making our masks and acting our The Great Race – How the Zodiac animals came to be!
