P6 recently came to the end of their Caribbean topic and organised a fun afternoon for their parents to celebrate their learning. They invited parents to attend an afternoon filled with yummy Caribbean cakes, drinks and music and challenged them to some Caribbean games and quizzes. P6 raised nearly £90 to put towards their summer trip. A fantastic afternoon was had by all!!

A visit from Professor Ellington
On Wednesday 22nd May the boys and girls in Primary 6 were lucky enough to have the opportunity to listen to a very interesting talk with Professor Ellington. Professor Ellington travelled all the way from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, where he lectures, to give us a ‘Guided Tour of the Universe’. We had a fantastic time and got to see some wonderful pictures of the galaxies, asteroids, stars and moons as well as the planets and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions. Professor Ellington was very impressed with how much we had learned already.
Netball success!

P5M Chocathon!
On Wednesday 16th May P5M celebrated their Wonka topic with a Chocathon Extravaganza! In order that all the classes in school were aware of the occassion, posters were designed to publicise the event. Groups of children visited all the classes in the school to answer any questions children had concerning the big day. During active maths Mr MacFarlane’s class focused on money and weighing activities leading up to the event and previous work done creating recipes helped the children when making brownies, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate krispies and biscuits. P5M split into teams and had four stations in different areas throughout the school. They all had great fun serving their customers and ensuring correct change was given and appropriate monies were received. After the event P5M worked out how much profit they had made. They were thrilled when they discovered their total profit came to £79.80. Mr MacFarlane said “A truly rich experience was had by one and all.”
