On the 27th of September the P5-7 class were learning about circumferences. It was hard but lots of fun. We enjoyed it and you should try it out as there’s many steps, so if you’re bored you should do it!

Children’s Wellbeing Survey for P5-7
The Council and its partners are currently working with Scottish Government through a programme called Realigning Children’s Services to help to improve local services for children in your area. All primary schools in the area have been invited to take part and we are inviting all children in P5 to P7 to complete a short online questionnaire during school time on their lives and wellbeing.
Please find a leaflet and letter in the P5-7’s bags which describe the survey and allow the choice of whether to take part or not.

- Keep a holiday dairy (one for the farmers)
- Do a nature study

- Something of your own idea
Many pupils chose books to read and I would encourage you all to read as much as you can over the summer. There is also a Summer Reading Challenge. You can get involved with this at your local library in Annan, I think.
For getting the lads reading, here is some advice. If you can find an author or genre that you like then that can be a good place to start. Here is a site that allows you to an advanced search which allows you to specify for example:
Which gives a list of 272 books which I have attached here ar bookfinder report.
Have a great break and I look forward to seeing you in August.
Best wishes,
