Primary 7 and Primary 1 had the chance to visit the library in the newly opened Menzieshill Community Centre. We were very impressed with the new library and all the lovely, comfortable spaces to sit and read books together.

Primary 7’s IDL topic for this term is the Titanic and last week they conducted some research into some of the passengers onboard the ship. They each had a ticket with a passenger’s name and they had to use the Titanic Encyclopedia website to research their passenger and record some information about them.

Some of the children have expressed an interest in using this website at home to find out more about the passengers. The website is:

Primary 7 took part in mental maths outdoors today, this was focusing on times tables and skip counting.

Primary 7 have enjoyed catching up with their buddies after the October holidays. We have spent some time at the Pod, read stories together and also helped the Primary 1’s with their number work.

Primary 7 were responsible for organising the Macmillan Coffee Morning and what a success it was! We raised £1100 in total and the class worked very hard all morning! The money will be split between Macmillan and Breast Cancer Care, well done Primary 7!
