P4/5 Famous Scots Assembly

November 11, 2015 Mrs Donald Leave a comment

On Monday it was the turn of P4/5 to present their pupil post at assembly. Our focus this term has been Famous Scots.

The class have been busy researching Scottish inventions, creations and discoveries. From a list of over 100 things the children narrowed it down to 12 and began researching using the new Community Ipads.

Our assembly featured presentations about the television, telephone, radar, whisky, penicillin, Auld Lang Syne, Peter Pan, golf, MacIntosh raincoat, steam engine, refrigerator and tarmac

We could have easily chosen many more to talk about but these were our favourites and the ones we felt had perhaps been the most useful.

We have also looked at Scottish sporting stars and are aiming to look at music, art and TV stars too.

For a small country we are impressed with the magnitude of achievements that have come from our home soil.

Monitoring Latecoming

November 6, 2015 Mr McLaren Leave a comment

We do keep track of late coming to school. Children missing those first few minutes can mean that they are disorganised and rushed as they start another busy day of learning. We are aware that some children are arriving late because they are stopping off to buy their snack for playtime. We appreciate your support in ensuring that we are all ready to begin our school day on time.

Mrs Elins is our Scots Language link to Education Scotland and has been working with her own class as well as supporting Scots across the school. She is currently organising our new look Scots Event and in the meantime thought you might like to see some of the learning her class has been undertaking.

Eco Update

November 2, 2015 Mrs Johnstone Leave a comment

Welcome to our Eco Blog.

A new Eco committee has been elected for 2015/2016. We have decided to tackle litter as our first action. New litter rotas are in place for both playgrounds where each day P3 and P4 will monitor the amount of litter in each playground. They will award either green, amber or red status depending on how many pieces of litter they have collected. We are aiming for each playground to be green each day to earn an extra playtime.

Our Living Values: honesty, respect, achievement, fairness and nurture
