As part of their Victorian topic P. 5,6,7  baked Victoria sponge cakes. This activity allowed the children to use practical maths skills of weighing and measuring. They all made wedge shaped boxes from nets which they had to draw out accurately and decorate to take a portion of sponge cake home with them. The outcome of this activity was mouthwatering sponges and the request to do more baking again. Definately enjoyed by all!

Pupils in P5,6,7 enjoyed a very entertaining hour of musical interaction from LIVE MUSIC NOW. Chris and Tom from this company, which is a registered charity, are on a tour of the country involving children in schools with a musical experience focusing on pitch, pulse and magic. They listened to a variety of brass instruments from Tom, while Chris played along skillfully on the piano. The children were then involved in a variety of rhythmical activities. We will have 2 further visits next year from this company to bring awareness of the different instruments available for musical enjoyment.

The pupils in P7 spent Friday morning (23rd Nov) being given the basics in curling. They then went on to play against the  children attending from 2 other schools fom the area. These coaching sessions are intended to introduce the children to a sport which they may otherwise not have the opportunities to try out. It is hoped that they will have been sufficiently enthused to go along to the Junior training sessions available.
