Tryatops has already started his holiday at Dinoworld with his family. 🌋🦕🦖☀️ Have a lovely summer everyone! Love from, Tryatops.

I just wanted to wish all our super P1s and their families a lovely and restful summer holidays. You have all worked so hard this year and you have all grown so much! Thank you for all the lovely gifts and messages. Happy summer holidays everyone! Love Mrs Dowds 💕☀️

We said goodbye to Tryatops, our class mascot yesterday and he sent us a little goodbye message this morning. 💕🦕🦖

We have been revising our addition skills in maths using lots of different strategies.

A brilliant football stadium, using wooden blocks. ⚽️

Imaginative play using rain water 🌧️🌋

Great team work at construction today. 👍🌟✨

P4 were learning about Ancient Greek columns today. We used charcoal and shading effect (smudging the lines) to draw a column. @missnicoldps.bsky.social

Today, we’ve been enjoying making playdoh people, painting at the craft area, using coins to pay for items and building a huge mansion.

More snapshots from today’s activities in our classroom. We were practising our Word Aware skills and vocabulary with Miss Mckechnie on our rug for today’s literacy focus.

P1 enjoyed the circuit challenge this afternoon. #Dunipacehealthweek

House tour from this wee group of builders! 👷

A wee snapshot of p1 play and learning in action this morning. We were learning about rhyme at our VIP table, we had a group building a house and a helper washing dishes from breakfast. 💕

P1 working hard on our maths VIP tasks this morning! We were revising our addition skills. 🌟

Eating our tasty pancakes. 👌🏻

P1 took part in pancake making today. We measured the ingredients and then took turns to add them and mix them together. We then helped to cook them on the hot plate. 👨‍🍳

Our P1 learners became mini chefs today as part of Health Week! 🥞🍓🍌 We carefully measured ingredients, mixed our pancake batter and poured it ready for cooking. The children then chose from a variety of healthy fruit toppings to create their own delicious pancakes.

Our P1 learners had a fantastic time taking part in rugby this morning! 🏉 We practised listening carefully, following instructions and developing our teamwork skills through lots of fun games and activities. ⭐️

P1 had a great time at dancing this morning. #DunipaceHealthweek

Paid for by the PTA as a treat enjoyed by all. The Secret Garden is a moving novel about friendship, growth, and the healing power of natur.

This week in our play, we have enjoyed the Beebots to give directions, using playdoh to make creatures, using tweezers to remove the asteroids in the tuff tray (fine motor skills practise) and building towers with the blocks. 👍

This group were independently writing sentences today using their always checklist to self assess. 👍

This learner brought in a certificate she got from her club outside of school to show us. Well done! 🌟💫 @mrsadonnelly.bsky.social

P1 Toastie Thursday this afternoon. Thank you for having us 🙂☕️

Using shaving foam and food colouring, the children swirled bright colours and patterns to create fiery sun art while exploring texture, colour mixing and creativity through sensory play. 🫧🎨

A fantastic day at Briarlands Farm today! 🚜☀️ The children had so much fun feeding the animals, trying archery, exploring the mazes and enjoying the climbing frames (to name a few). Lots of smiles, laughter and new experiences were shared throughout the day! 🐐🏹🌽🛝

One of our learners chose to paint the planets during play today, linking to our current space topic! 🌍🪐🎨 Through creative play, she explored colour, shape and her knowledge of the solar system while showing great focus and imagination. ✨

We had a lovely time outside with Primary 1 @mrsdowds.bsky.social @missmckechnie.bsky.social for our Community Gardening Day. Our garden looks so much better now, we can't wait to see what happens next 🌷🌱🌿🌲.

These learners wanted a picture of a structure they made together using magnetic tiles. Great team work! 🙂👍

Some beautiful flowers made from brain flakes 💐

The Panda reading group doing some independent paired reading together. 💕📚

Lots of excitement this morning when we entered our classroom to see the planets above our heads. 🚀☄️🪐🛰️

Go karts and the sand pit 🙂

P1 loved the small animal pen. We enjoyed petting and feeding the Guinea pigs 💕💕

Having a little snack before all the fun 🤩 ☀️

This afternoon, these learners decided to sort all our coins into the correct boxes. Thanks so much! 🙂

P1 have been learning about the moon this week. We used Oreos to help us understand the phases of the moon and what it looks like. 🌓🌕🌒

This morning, we were learning to share equally using concrete materials. 👍

This was really interesting to observe. These learners were working together to make a cafe. They were using pictures on our computer and then using kapla and miniature furniture to build their own. Amazing team work and conversations between them. 💕☕️

We took our learning outside this morning. We used chalk to practise writing some sounds and words we know. ☀️

Thank you to one of our class mates for the tasty donuts yesterday to celebrate their birthday. Happy birthday to you! 🍩

As part of our learning about Earth Day, p1 and p7 worked together to do a litter pick in our school field. 🚮🗑️🌍

Busy minds and busy hands 🧠✋ First week back after the holidays and our learners are exploring patterns, construction and imaginative play ⭐️

Who needs a garage when you’ve got P1? 😄🔧 Fantastic imaginative play today - repairing bikes and scooters while building teamwork and confidence.

Sunshine and smiles all round 🌼 Our learning doesn’t stop outside - lots of teamwork, creativity and happy play in the fresh air. 🌞

Primary 5 have been putting their young leaders training into practise. They have worked in groups to plan an activity to deliver to a group of P1 & P2 children ⚽️ 🏀 🎾 @mrssigurdssondps.bsky.social @mrsdowds.bsky.social @missmckechnie.bsky.social

We had some visitors in P1🐐🐑💛 Our P1s loved meeting and petting a baby goat and lamb - lots of smiles and gentle hands all round!

This is our new recognition wall and class charter in p1. Ours learners wanted a space themed version for the last term. We’ve had some brilliant astronaut ambassadors who have demonstrated being ready, respectful and safe this week. Well done p1 for a great first week back. 💕

Some photos from this weeks play. We had mud cakes, patterns, letter shapes with blocks and a maths game on the iPads.
