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.
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>”

A group of enterprising pupils from room 9 have been busy last week fund raising for Help for Heroes.
They made some yummy biscuits which they sold at break time last Thursday. They also sold some fat balls for feeding wild birds, which they made themselves too.
They made very eye catching posters to publicize the biscuit sale.
.
Well done !
The P6 Tour Guides have started giving some Tours again.
They willn be passing their job over to the P5s soon. The P5s have been auditioned to see how good they are standing in front of a crowd of people and reciting something and now they are all going through training! Some Tour Guides have non-speaking parts which means they will act out what is being said in the script!
The script will be getting changed as parts of the Castle are getting done up!

Every class from p4 to p7 has been tree planting last week.We planted black thorn,hazelnut,wild cherry and pine and we did it in the meadows.We had to dig the whole with a fancy shovel and made sure the roots were covered and patted it down and then put a bit of wood what is called a stake beside it and then put a tree guard around it. When we get older we will have fun watching them grow. I think every one had fun and so did I!
