Antimicrobial Rocks!

Last week we found this rock at our front entrance. We were intrigued! We have since found out that this is a campaign to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance. The link below explains this in more detail:

There are 5 others throughout Muirhead and Birkhill and 2 at Camperdown park too. Have you found them yet?

P7 Classroom

Our P7 pupils are loving their new classroom! As part of a Digital Innovation project we were granted money to enhance the learning and engagement of our pupils. We used some of this to buy each pupil an iPad and some to buy new furniture for the class. We have 6 nodes, 6 beanbags, a standing whiteboard table, 6 wobble stools, yellow interlocking tables, a Promethean ActivTable and ActivPanel.

Feedback so far has been very positive! Here is Megan to tell us what she thinks!

Visible Learning Open Afternoon

On Thursday 7th September we held an open afternoon for parents to tell them all about our Visible Learning journey so far. It was a great success and we enjoyed sharing our knowledge.

Gymnastic Competition

On Sunday Olivia, Ruby and Kaitlyn  took part in a gymnastics competition in Perth. Unfortunately they didn’t win but they still had a great time. Well done girls!

HEALTH WEEK 2017

Yet again this year we had another fantastic Health Week with so many visitors! As well as all the visitors shown in the photos above we also had our Sports Day and the finals of our Birkie’s Got Talent competition.

Unfortunately the weather was against us on Wednesday and we had to cancel our whole school trip to Camperdown Park. This didn’t dampen our spirits and the classrooms were a hive of activity all day!
