St Andrew's Primary School Blog

Today all the children have been busy celebrating St Andrew’s Day.  There has been dancing, baking, lots of art work and even a ‘haggis drive’.  Here are some photos which give a snapshot of the activities from around our school!

Here are a few photos to let you see some of the lovely wall displays around our school. Classes have had a focus on both  Our Environment and Remembrance Day this term.

We had our first jog club of the session this morning.  We headed down to the Dock Park and followed the junior parkrun route.  It was a lovely morning and a great way to start the day (although we may need a little rest later!).

Today the class were challenged to reuse and upcycle newspaper to create new fashion designs. Teamwork, creativity and initiative were all used brilliantly and a lot of fun was had too! The teams explained their designs and thought processes as their models walked our class catwalk – it was great to hear how they responded and adapted their designs to problems faced. Well done P6!

Yesterday our P6 class visited The Devil’s Porridge Museum at Eastriggs to learn more about their WW2 topic. We had a wonderful day and the workshops and exhibits really helped consolidate our learning. We had great fun dressing up at the end too! Enjoy some of our pictures from the day.

Primary 7 have been using a new computer programme to find out about music technology and to create their own music… maybe we have the next Calvin Harris

Primary 6 asked their fellow students and teachers to wear something red today in support of the charity ‘Show Racism the Red Card’.

P6 have been studying equality and forms of discrimination this term and Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s largest anti racism educational charity which promotes equality for all.

P6 would like to say thank you for all your kind donations as an amazing £300 was raised for the charity.

As these photos show the school was a sea of red for the day!

P7 have been learning about climate change and the upcoming COP26, we created images to show what we want to tell the world leaders and they have been sent to the scottish government to be included in a book that will be presented at the COP26.

P7 have been consolidating their learning of grid references and coordinates and have designed and created their own for others to give the points or grid references for! A great morning to do maths outdoors

Over the past few weeks the Primary 1 and 2 children have been transforming their classrooms in to Fairyland.
They have been working hard with Mr Parkhouse in art and as you can see from these photos their finished work looks amazing! 🤩
