P7 enjoyed their opportunity to try Curling again at the Ice Bowl last week.  Many of them picked up new skills quickly and had a natural ability at the sport.  It was a fun experience that hopefully some of them will try again.  The curling club are keen for some new members and would welcome them back I’m sure. !

Primary 1 decided on one thing they were going to try to do more of in 2017.

Examples included; ‘Eat more vegetables,’ ‘Read more Biff an Chip books,’  ‘Go on my bike’ and ‘Get more sleep!’

We created a display of these outside our classroom, next time you are passing please take a look.

 

Our Maths in Motion club has morphed into our STEM club with a choice of activities available.  Those attending have been working with Maths in Motion, Rasberry Pi and Microbit computers, Scratch programming and Knex .

Thank you to everyone who helped us raise money at our Craft Fayre, we raised £250.61

     

After learning about French Christmas traditions, Primary 6 & 7 held a French Christmas party. They enjoyed playing Twister with the caller giving the instructions in French. This was followed by a buffet where the children tasted croissants, pain au chocolat, baguette with cherry jam and buche de noel with hot chocolate or fruit juice to drink. After, the children made a Christmas card which they gave to someone in their class. During the party the children had left their shoes in the corridor and, when they went to put them back on at home time, Pere Noel had left sweets in their shoes (a French tradition where children leave a shoe by the fireplace for Father Christmas to place sweets in. It was a fun filled afternoon. Thank you to Mrs McGill for helping with our research and pronunciation, particularly hand (main), foot (pied), left (gauche) and right (droit)

 

We had great fun at the party dancing and playing games. We even had a special visit from a very important person…SANTA!

This Tuesday P1 were delighted to welcome the children from St Andrew’s Nursery Brooke Street for a visit as part of the school’s transition programme.

After singing some Christmas songs together the primary one children helped the nursery children make ‘melted snowman’ biscuits and pine cone Christmas tree table decorations.

It was great fun and we’re looking forward to seeing the nursery children again next year for more fun times.

Yesterday the children in P2, P3 and P4 got to use their money maths skills as they enthusiastically sold the craft products they had been busy making at our Craft Fair. A great variety of crafts and confectionery/ cakes had been produced by the children in school and the children had to use a variety of skills in their manufacture. It was an amazing turnout and many thanks to all our families and friends for the generous support and positive feedback. Once the children have had a wee bit more time to use their money counting skills we will update you on how much profit was made!
