We trust that everyone is packed and ready, just like Paddington!
P6M enjoyed a fantastic blend of classroom learning and outdoor exploration today. We began by investigating the unique conditions found in a rainforest - from intense humidity to heavy rainfall - and discussed what designers would need to consider when creating a shelter for such an environment. Working in groups, pupils sketched out imaginative designs and identified the key features that would help a structure cope with challenging weather.
In the afternoon, we headed to the Forest School area to bring those ideas to life. Using natural materials and plenty of teamwork, each group built their own shelter inspired by their classroom plans. The creativity on display was brilliant, collaboration was strong, and P6M had a great time experimenting, problem‑solving and building together.
Mr Mitchell’s P6 class made the most of today’s gorgeous weather with a music lesson in our forest school area. Inspired by rainforest images, pupils set out to recreate the sounds of the jungle using nothing but body percussion and the natural materials they could gather around them. Soon the space was alive with rustling leaves, tapping sticks, rhythmic stomps and—at one unforgettable moment—some wildly imaginative monkey calls.
The class threw themselves into the challenge with brilliant energy, experimenting, collaborating and laughing their way through the creative process. Their final soundscapes were imaginative, expressive and full of character. A fantastic afternoon of sunshine, music and creativity from P6M. Well done!
Primary 5 recently visited Tayto Castle. The children enjoyed the experience of seeing how crisps are made from potato to crisp. They had a tour of the factory and were able to sample a range of the products made within the factory.

Primary 4 boys and girls had a fantastic day stepping back in time as they dressed up as wartime evacuees. The children thoroughly enjoyed pretending to live during this important period in history and showed great enthusiasm throughout the day.
As part of their learning, the class took their experience outdoors to Forest School, where they worked together to create shelters (a little different to an Anderson or a Morrison shelter). Using bamboo sticks, tarpaulin and clothes pegs, the pupils demonstrated excellent teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills.
It was a memorable and enjoyable day that brought history to life in a fun and engaging way.
Today in Forest School, P4 pupils worked together to create concentric circles using materials they found in their surroundings. They carefully selected natural resources such as sticks, leaves, and stones to form their patterns. This activity helped develop teamwork, creativity, and an appreciation of the natural environment.
