Well done to Primary 5, Primary 6/7F & Primary 6/7M for their fantastic production of Bugsy Malone.  All of the staff at St.Clement’s are extremely proud of the effort and enthusiasm that went into making the performance a roaring success.  There are so many talented children at our school and certainly a few stars in the making. 

Our display of some of the work that we carried out with the Primary 1s for the Picture Book Awards is now displayed in Charleston Library & Community Centre.  Please feel free to have a look at our work when you are visiting the local community centre.   

We have been working with Primary 1 as part of our job for the Dundee Picture Book Awards which has been organised by Moira Foster and Elaine Halliburton.  We had to read four different picture books to the Primary 1 pupils and organise a ballot for the children to choose their favourite picture book.  The four books were enjoyed by the boys and girls of both classes but the Primary 1s decided that Silly Doggy was their favourite.  Here are some photographs of us reading the books to the Primary 1s.

On Friday 8th March, we were visited by a forensic scientist.  Sarah Clement came in to speak to us about her job and what she had to study at school in order for her to study Forensics at university.  Sarah told us all about the different aspects of her job and how important her duties are in helping the police solve crimes.  She also brought in all of the protective wear that she has to wear each day at work.  We had to race to see how quickly we could kit up. 

Thank you so much, Sarah, for teaching us a little bit about forensic biology. 

We completed our table tennis taster sessions and we were each given certificates.  Thank you to all of the students who came in to help.

To help celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight, the Fairtrade Steering Group organised a Fairtrade coffee morning which was held on Friday 01 March.  The coffee morning was enjoyed by all and was great success.  Well done to the pupils of Primary 6/7F and Primary 6/7M for all of their hard work in raising awareness of different Fairtrade organisations.

Over the past two weeks we have been visited by sports students who have been teaching us how to play table tennis.  We have been learning how to hold the paddle correctly (using the pistol grip) and have been developing our forehand and backhand.  Today will be our last session of table tennis.

As part of our homework, we had to create a 3D model of an organ.  Here are some of our models. 

Throughout our Science topic we will be learning about the different systems within our body.  So far we have looked at the function of the heart and lungs.  We carried out an experiment that showed us how the diaphragm works.
