We had so much fun carrying out a Bioblitz at the North Edinburgh Arts Centre. Amber from RSPB showed us how to find clues of wildlife and we were able to find so many different kinds of minibeasts. We are so lucky to have such a fantastic resource on our doorstep! Thanks to Ania’s mum and Brian for helping!

P1 School Trip

The children had so much fun on our school trip. They were able to make lots of links to our topics throughout the day. The Museum of Childhood reinforced the children’s learning during our “When Granny was a girl” topic. Their minibeast hunt in Princes Street Gardens linked to our “Living Things” topic; and we got to see lots of different landmarks around Edinburgh city centre linking to our current topic, “Where I Live”. Thank you again to all of our parent volunteers – your help is greatly appreciated!

Bike, scoot or walk to school week

Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with the weather this week but that didn’t stop the boys and girls from getting involved in our Bike to School week activities! Well done to all of the boys and girls for creating beautiful helmets for our competition and congratulations to Dayna for being chosen as the P1a winner! As well as this, the Bling your Bike competition was so much fun especially when we were parading them for the rest of the school! It’s clear how creative the boys and girls from P1a are! Thanks to Mrs. Guthrie and the JRSO’s for organising a very successful week.

Thank you to RSPB for coming into school to carry out a Bioblitz workshop. We loved hunting for minibeasts and other signs of life outside in the school playground. We managed to find lots of minibeasts including a caterpillar and a ladybird!
