Port Gardens P3/4
P3/4 enjoyed a visit to Port Logan Gardens on Wednesday 1st May. They looked at how to create photographs from the garden. The children were asked what makes a good photo then they were allowed to take photos using frames to help them. Please view the photos. Port Logan will email there photos to us at a later date.
Port Logan Gardens P.6
On Wednesday, 1st May Primary 6 visited Logan Botanical Gardens to participate in a session about photography. First they looked at a selection of photographs and identified those which were blurry, too busy, wonky etc and then were led into the gardens to identify what would make a great photo. The session leader, Cath, asked them to look for line and perspective, good backgrounds, frames and block colour amongst other things. The session was very interesting and the children finished with taking a photo of their own. These will be emailed to us at a later date. Have a look at some of the photos which were taken.
Music For All
P4/5 walked to the Ryan Centre to enjoy an afternoon of music. The children listened to the descriptions of the musical instruments and enjoyed listening to the range of different music.
Port Logan Gardens P2/3
P2/3 and the P3s from P3/4 enjoyed a morning with their teddy bears at Port Logan Gardens for a Teddy Bear’s Picnic. They thoroughly enjoyed hunting for clues and finding out how Edward the bear lives in the woods.
P7’s Edinburgh Trip
The boys and girls enjoyed their trip to Edinburgh.
Comic Relief
Well done to everyone who contributed to making our Comic Relief day a huge success. We raised £582.32 which is an amazing amount.
Pupils came to school dressed in ‘crazy’ clothes. During the day they took part in different activities such as: decorating a biscuit, having a discothon, shoot the hoop as well as guessing the name of the teddy and having a ‘paint the teacher’s face’ raffle. Leading up to Comic Relief, families took part in the ‘Great Sheuchan Bake Off’ where they had to decorate 4 identical cupcakes or biscuits with a cartoon theme. All entries were fantastic. Lots of fun was had by all and most importantly a lot of money was raised for a very important cause.
P7 Curling Bonspiel
Four P7 pupils represented the school at the curling Bonspiel: an annual competition held at Stranraer Ice rink. All played very well and were placed 4th.
Our Busy Day
Primary 6 have had an extremely busy day learning new skills. This morning they were using Scratch, a coding site, to develop their skills in coding and this afternoon we were helping to create a rap about plastic pollution with Lewis Schofield. All were very excited. Photos will be added to the galleries section.
