A team building activity yesterday trying to ‘save Fred.’ Fred is a gummy worm has capsized his boat. his life jacket (a gummy ring) is under the boat.Pupils can not touch anything but can use 4paper clips. It was quite a challenge! Fernielea School

Today, primary 5 went outside with chalk to practice the 6 times table. Some groups were inventive and created a hopscotch trail. As they went along, they call out the times tables. Great idea! Fernielea School

Another group wrote the 6times table answers on the outside and inside of the star in the playground Fernielea School

Yesterday we played some team building games in PE and ended off with a game of Chaos tag! Afterwards we had singing and we learned a really fun game that the children have begged me to play with them again! Isnt learning fun! 😊 Fernielea School

Today we enjoyed some problem solving. Children were tasked to arrange numbers into the circles to add up to the same number then create squares using straws. It was quite challenging but great team work and language used to discuss Fernielea School

A reminder that children can bring in donations for p2 preferably before Wednesday. Please only give what you can.

Guess who won PE class of the week today!! They will be so excited. They really did work hard today and earned it. Well done P5 👏 Fernielea School fernieleaschoolPE

I introduced P5 to a spelling game called Boom, Bang today! It's simple but encourages them to read aloud their spelling words in orde to win a card. They had great fun winning...until they got a boom or bang card! Great fun! Fernielea School

Children are asked to bring in blankets tomorrow as we are making dens in the classroom. The more the merrier please! They will be having a wee snack too. It's going to be great fun! Fernielea School

P5 were learning about India today when N’s mum came in to share information about food, language, traditions, money and so much more. #culture #diversity #community

Very impressed with making our own butter in a jar today for our science experiment. It tasted lovely on a scone or tiger bread! Fernielea School

Reminder tomorrow is Den day and children can bring blankets and pillows in. The more the merrier as I do not have many. Children can BRING pjs with them in a bag to change into but please do not wear them TO school. #denbuilding #teamwork Fernielea School

Today we made ice cream in a bag for food skills. We learned to measure ingredients, we learned about mixing ice and salt and how the salt lowers the ice temperature which speeds up the process of making ice cream. Fernielea School

We attempted to make butter and almost gave up but one child was adamant we could do it and a minute later, butter started to form! They then chose to either make a sandwich or have toast to try it. Great skills learned today. It was yummy! Fernielea School

Lots of sensory play today identifying colours using a food bag filled with oil and Pom Poms. They had to manoeuvre the Pom poms to the relevant colour area. It was great fun Fernielea School

Puff pastry dough rings made for our last cooking skills group today. They were so fine topped with icing sugar and sprinkles. Fernielea School
