This morning P4-7 took part in a taster session of Sooyang Do. They learned some basic moves and techniques and had great fun trying something new. Click here for a snippet of the session. In Assembly, we learned some interesting facts about the World Cup and spoke about Articles 2 and 31 of the UNCRC, linking the rights to our own playtimes. Then we danced to one of our favourite ‘Just Dance’ songs. The Nursery children joined in and followed the dance moves really well.
The children loved Day 2 of Bike School today.

Last Friday P5-7 went out in the village with PC Cain, to help carry out speed checks as a way of raising awareness of the 20mph limit. The children had a go at using the speed gun and then spoke to drivers who had been stopped. They had put together a letter to hand out, asking people to consider their speed when driving through our village.
On Tuesday 2nd, Bike School came along and worked with all the children from P1-P7, helping those who are beginners or non-riders develop their confidence, whilst giving everyone an opportunity to develop their cycling skills. The children’s comments were very positive and everyone is looking froward to them returning next Tuesday, 9th June. A wee reminder too that the Bike Clinic is in school on Tuesday 16th, should you wish to get your child’s bike checked over.
On Thursday and Friday this week pupils in P5/6/7 took part in First Aid Training. Take a look at what they got up to…
Day one of First Aid training for P5-7, learning how to carry out an initial assessment of a casualty.
Day 2 – Sprains, fractures, fainting, heart attack, CPR.
Young Emergency First Aider Award Levels 1, 2 and 3 complete! Well done P5/6/7 🤩
We had a great day out, visiting the beach for a play and a picnic, then heading to Aberdeen Science Centre for some fun learning.

At today’s committee session, the Pupil Council had the opportunity to try out a new resource. It has been created by local lady Jenny Gow, to help school children understand about stomas. Our school has been asked to provide feedback to the creators, before it is shared with a wider audience. They investigated the contents of the pack, which included lesson plans for a variety of age groups, a game, colouring pages, a Buttony Bear soft toy and a lovely illustrated picture book. They gave very thoughtful feedback, which we shall pass on to Jenny and her team. Further information about the Buttony Bear charity can be found here.
Following on from Assembly last week, where we spoke about friends and friendships, P5-7 were tasked with designing a poster to illustrate our Friendship Code. All of the pupils came up with great suggestions for statements we needed to include in the code and these were whittled down to our final 10 points.
It was difficult to choose a winner, but in the end we decided on 2 posters which stood out. Piper’s art skills were evident in her poster, whilst Ernest used tech to create his on Adobe Express.
See if you can spot their posters in and around the school the next time you visit.
It’s back!! Whole school turned up to Dance Club this lunchtime! Lots of fun and great teaching from the older pupils.
