P 4/5 and P6/7 were given the choice of indoor or outdoor Golden Time today. We did building and played games. Reilly, Finley, Jay, Rogan, Aidan and I all built a fort. We were panning to throw snowballs at any invaders. It was freezing but fun! By Ryan

Both teams performed very well and did themselves and the school proud. Cargen enjoyed his day out too! Well done teams!
In Science, P1/2 have been learning about forces with Miss Young. This week they learned about the relevance of forces in relation to the Winter Olympics.
They participated in activities based on curling and skiing. They discussed the push and pull forces as well as friction.
Very interesting work!
A huge well done to Madelaine, Charlotte, Millie, Joseph, Kasey, Gabriella and Jay who competed today in the Regional Burns Competition at Dumfries Academy. Everyone received excellent feedback – we are very proud of you all!
A special well done to Gabriella who was placed third for playing a lovely Scots medley on the piano.
A huge well done to Charlotte who was placed second for her medley of Burns songs on her accordion – fantastic! Charlotte will now represent the school and region at the National finals in Falkirk. Well done Charlotte!
Great work everyone!
We had a busy night at Computer Club. Lots of people were using Scratch to make simple computer games. Some people were being creative, writing poems and creating their own presentations. Others played Sum Dog to improve their maths skills. Next week some of us are going to learn how to use the Microbits.
P4/5 are working very hard learning about life in the 1940s. They have been following up their learning at home by talking to family members, trying out recipes and gathering primary sources from the time. This week we learned about The Blitz. In the next few weeks we will be completing activities linked to Rationing and Make Do and Mend. We are looking forward to showing parents our work at the half past two event. Well Done P4/5!
P4/5 are thoroughly enjoying learning to play the tin whistle with Feis Rois. We can play Hot Cross Buns and Mary Had A Little Lamb. We can play the notes B A G E F and D By Lucy P5
P1/2 and P2/3/4 had great fun playing outside for Golden Time today. The first sunny Friday in a long time! Enjoy the mid-term break everyone!
