Primary 7 had lots of fun putting their maths skills to the test in an ‘escape room’ activity. They used lots of what we have been learning in maths to crack codes and help save Christmas from being cancelled by computer hackers.

P.7 – Burns’ Supper
P7 organised a Burns Supper for P5, 6 and 7 pupils. Children decorated the hall, wrote and delivered speeches and toasts, and organised some great entertainment. Thank you to Robbie McCutcheon (our piper), the performers from other classes, and Mrs McClymont who prepared all the food with the help of some primary 7s.
P.7 – Burns Cottage
P7 had a fantastic trip to Alloway to the Burns Cottage. They dressed up in 18th Century clothes and saw how Burns lived. Afterwards they had a tour of some of the settings from the poem Tam O’Shanter. Luckily, there were no witches or warlocks to be seen and everyone made it safely over the keystane at the Brig o’ Doon. Thank you very much to the 3 parents who gave up their day to make the trip possible, we are very grateful.
P4/5 – They are growing!!!
In October Primary 4/5 planted daffodil and crocus bulbs. They have begun to grown over the last few weeks, and we are patiently waiting for them to grow large enough to flower. We are monitoring them closely making sure they get the best chance to flower.
Nursery – PEEP 2
On 5th February, Miss McKie held her second peep session. From previous feedback, the peep session topic today was ‘Understanding and Managing Behaviour’. The parents got talking about their child’s behaviour whilst having a cuppa before the children came into have fun. We read ‘My Big Shouty Day’, which was relevant to the topic, played games with the parachute which families loved and sang songs which got the parents and children interacting.
P.5, 6 & 7 – Crime Scene Investigation
Primary 5/6/7 pupils took part in a Crime Scene Investigation run by Glasgow Science Centre and Historic Scotland. Pupils worked together and used their problem solving and maths skills to solve puzzles, which helped them crack the case of the skeletons found in Stirling Castle. All pupils enjoyed this challenge.
