Every Friday afternoon, our P5/4 and P7/6 classes have been joining forces and enjoying joint PE sessions down at the big pitch in the village. They are currently taking part in the ‘Virtual Games’ each week, an online sports day where schools post their scores from a variety of events and compete against each other. Great teamwork has been on display!
Oral Health Education visit for P1
P1 have been thinking about oral health. They had a virtual visit to the dentist on Thursday 30 May. Their task for the next two weeks is to bring a healthy snack to school every day.
P5/4 are learning about bees
P5/4 have been working hard on their topic on biodiversity, looking at bees. We had a fabulous visit from Donald Harrison who taught us how bees are kept, how they behave and how honey is actually made! We have also been researching ‘bee friendly’ flowers and made our own wildlife haven for pollinators outside our classroom using recycled bottles to create hanging baskets. We are carrying out weekly bee surveys to look at the impact of our work 🐝
Forraging for Food with Mr Goldie
A big thank you to Gary Goldie for taking P7/6 out and about the village foraging for wild food! They learned lots about the various species and grew muscles digging up pig nuts!

The Dental inspections for P7 and P1 are scheduled to take place in school today.
