Well done to the enterprising pupils who organised the “Help for Heroes” biscuit sale. They raised a wonderful £49. 92, which has been sent to the charity.

Paired Reading.
All classes in the school are currently enjoying a block of paired reading on Wednesday afternoons. Children from one class read with children from another. Primary 7’s are reading with primary 4. The children are really enjoying the opportunity to read lots of books, and to make new friends.
Travelling Gallery
Primary 4 classes were very lucky to be able to visit the Travelling Gallery, which was parked in the Secondary carpark.
It is a mobile gallery which travels through Scotland bringing modern art to towns and cities
The exhibition was called “Turquoise Heid”. It included drawings, animations, photos, sculpture, film, collage and painting. Artists included David Shrigley and Matthew Barnes.
P4 pupils found out a bit about why the artists decided to create the artwork and about some of the techniques the artists used. It was very interesting.
Euan liked the 3D Beano comic . He said “it looked freaky and seemed to pop out into your face!”
Keira said “I liked the pictures and sculptures at the door. If you put the headphones on you could hear the strange noises like kettles and people screaming>”
