Miss Differ and Miss Balfour worked with us for 5 weeks and yesterday was their last day. They worked with reading groups and fixed our library so that it is really good!
Thank you very much for working with us.

On Wednesday we went to the Safari Park with P1 and P2. We went there by bus and Holly nearly fell asleep on the way there!
First we stayed in the bus and drove around the park to see all the animals. Then we went on the boat to Monkey Island and Chippie the chimp threw some grass at our boat! Afterwards we had a snack and then saw lots of different animals, including leemurs, penguins, meerkats, rhinos, elephants, rabbits and a peacock.
It was great fun!

Yesterday we wrapped up warmly and went out to the garden to plant some very fancy plant pots, they were in the shape of a teapot!
We added some compost, planted our flower and then watered them carefully.
Our teapot plants will be for sale for £2.50 at the School Fayre this Sunday.
Last week we made a list of questions that we wanted to ask the minister about our local church, Dunipace Parish Church. Then Mrs C emailed the questions to the minister, Miss Gallacher, so she could have some thinking time to find the answers!
Finally, clipboard in hand, we walked to the church to listen to some amazing stories and learn some fascinating facts.
Thanks to Miss Gallacher for giving her time and showing us around this amazing building.
Leave a comment telling us some of the information you found out.
We worked in our cooperative teams to make a model of an Ancient Egyptian shaduf.
As a class we read an excerpt from Roald Dahl’s Matilda. We practised thundering voices, muttering, bellowing, shouting and whimpering! In our cooperative groups, we had to make a list of all the alternative words for ‘said’, we could use our reading books to help us. Finally, one stayed and three strayed to listen to the answers from the other teams and we even managed to steal an answer to add to our list!

On Tuesday we took part in a school litter pick that was organised by Primary 2. We teamed up with Primary 6 and got busy tidying the school playing field.
A big thanks to P2 for all their organisation skills!

We’ve been enjoying lots of different activities when learning our spelling words, such as stepping stones, magazine letters and beebot spelling.

Unfortunately, due to the snowy weather, the P2/P3 football tournament has been postponed. Hopefully we’ll be able to take part in the rescheduled event in May.
