These learners decided to use natural rainwater mixed with paint to create temporary artwork. They observed what happens when water mixes with colour, discussed textures and patterns, and expressed their ideas. They even role played being painters and decorators. #DunipacePlay

These learners were challenged to make a simple rocket which would travel as far as possible. They began to understand that forces such as push/pull and air pressure change motion. They investigated how changing variables like the balloon size and the angle of the string affect how far it travelled.

This group love baking and after successfully baking cookies last time asked to try cupcakes this time. They requested red velvet with cream cheese frosting so searched for a suitable recipe and used the iPad timer to remind them when to take the cakes out of the oven. 🕐🧁🥄

These learners followed a recipe and carefully weighed out the ingredients to make some tasty red velvet cupcakes and then iced them to look like ghosts 👻 #DunipaceSkills @mrscupplesdps.bsky.social @mrscrerar.bsky.social

These learners had to be very careful when using the carving tool to create their pumpkin faces. They took their time and asked for help when it was needed. The finished pumpkins looked amazing! #DunipaceSkills @missnicoldps.bsky.social @mrscupplesdps.bsky.social @mrscrerar.bsky.social

These P1 pupils visited The Den this week and worked with a partner to carve a pumpkin. It was tricky to scrape out the insides and some of the children thought it was very gooey and sticky! #DunipaceSkills @missmckechnie.bsky.social @misscraig01.bsky.social

This week in The Den, these learners enjoyed some Halloween themed tasks and activities. 🎃 They used cutting skills and creativity to design their own pumpkin face.

This week in The Den these learners worked together to follow a recipe to make their own playdough. They had to read and measure carefully and then they chose which colour they wanted to add. #DunipaceDen @mrscrerar.bsky.social @mrscupplesdps.bsky.social

Chess has been a very popular activity in the Den this week. I've had my own knowledge and skills put to the test when coaching them through the moves.♟️ Chess supports problem-solving, resilience, critical thinking, numeracy, and communication skills — all key priorities of the curriculum.

These learners enjoyed time in the Den this week. They loved the football table and playing shops and planned their next activity. They wanted to bake so they researched a recipe and wrote a list of ingredients and when they came the next day they followed the recipe to make chocolate chip cookies.

These learners helped me set up the Book Fair and then spent some time in the Den. They achieved their name on the recognition board. By keeping our classroom tidy and looking after resources, we are respecting our right to learn #Article28 and helping each other enjoy our right to play #Article31

These learners enjoyed some time in the Den this week and did some painting. After finishing they displayed their completed art work on the Wonderful Work wall. They worked hard to get their names added to the Recognition Board by looking after the resources and tidying up the Den. #DunipaceUNCRC

Some P1 and P3 learners were learning how to safely make a fire 🔥 They learned that fire needs, oxygen, fuel and a heat source and learned how to stack the wood and add the firelighters inside the circle. They also learned to stay behind the safety circle of bricks when toasting their marshmallows.

Today some P1s picked apples from our school orchard. They spent the morning making delicious apple crumble and then made some custard before tasting their delicious pudding 🤤 Each week a different group will have the chance to take part in a cooking experience 👨🍳 @missmckechnie.bsky.social

During circle time P1 learned four very important listening rules👂 I wonder who can remember them all?! We also played a game of wink wink sleep and I was very impressed with the careful looking and concentration shown. Absolute superstars! 🌟

P1 didn't let the rain this afternoon stop them from enjoying some time outdoors. "Look I found a wee worm" "Let's get this all scrubbed clean!" They were still having a blast cleaning and scrubbing - maybe mums and dad's can use some of this enthusiasm at home! 😜 @missmckechnie.bsky.social

Every day after lunch P1 do a relaxation activity to help them calm down and refocus after running around in the playground. We love the rainbow breathing video but today we tried body scanner for the first time. Check out the link to try at home youtu.be/xLoK5rOl8Qk?... @missmckechnie.bsky.social

Thank you very much to the @mrsadonnelly.bsky.social and P7 for helping P1 to sign in to Sumdog for the first time! They helped P1 to complete their diagnostic assessments and to create their avatars. P1 will now be able to use Sumdog to practise their maths skills. @missmckechnie.bsky.social

P1 enjoyed outdoor learning this afternoon. Some children chose to use the scrubbing brushes and soapy water to wash the windows "Look, we're mini janitors again!" Some chose to play in the water tray, using the water to refill the spray bottles, while others were climbing the trees. #DunipacePlay
