P1/2/3 enjoyed their trip to Dynamic Earth yesterday.

Today P1/2/3 shared all the interesting facts that they learned in their space topic. Thanks to everyone who came along to the assembly.

Today P1/2/3 have been learning about the phases of the moon. We used oreos to make a poster showing the 8 phases. It was great fun!

As part of ‘Our Local Area’ topic we have been looking at the work of local artist John Bellany. We created pictures of Barns Ness Lighthouse in his style.

P1/2/3 are getting in to the Christmas spirit with their Christmas shop.

P1/2/3 enjoyed their first football session with Lorna this afternoon.

This morning we went to the lifeboat station in Dunbar. We split into two groups. One group watched a film about staying safe near water and the other group climbed onboard a lifeboat. The groups then swapped over. We learned lots of interesting things and heard how the lifeboat rescues people at sea. We looked at the lifeboatmen’s uniforms, and Maddie, Ellie and Callum B. tried on different uniforms.

We then walked along to see the big lifeboat anchored in the harbour.
We all had a lovely time and then it was time to return to school.
