P4 Craft Fair

WOW! P4 have been very busy over the last couple of weeks making products for the craft fair. We have been learning about how to price items and about how a business works. We had some super ideas and the children have been working in their business groups to make, display and sell their products.

We were so busy at the craft fair with parents, grandparents and friends buying all our products that we forgot to take some pictures.

This one shows how well it went though…

Primary 5/6 Shared Learning Extravaganza!

The Primary 5/6 class recently tackled a shared homework activity, where they were to work together with someone at home, to create and design their version of Peter Pan’s Neverland. Wow! Wow! Wow! The response was fantastic!

Take a look at our pictures to see what they designed, we have everything from treasure maps, minecraft Neverlands, junk model Neverlands, cryptic maze Neverlands, not to mention a Neverland cake!  Very impressed with the all the creative ideas!

The Nursery, Primary One and Primary Two children came to talk to the P5/6 class about their models,

and their verdict was a big thumbs up!minecraft jack shared learning photographs p56 002 shared learning photographs p56 003 shared learning photographs p56 004 shared learning photographs p56 005 shared learning photographs p56 006 shared learning photographs p56 007 shared learning photographs p56 008 shared learning photographs p56 009 shared learning photographs p56 010 shared learning photographs p56 011 shared learning photographs p56 012 shared learning photographs p56 013 shared learning photographs p56 014 shared learning photographs p56 015 shared learning photographs p56 016 shared learning peter pan 004 shared learning peter pan 006 shared learning peter pan 007 shared learning peter pan 010 shared learning peter pan 011 shared learning peter pan 012 shared learning peter pan 015 shared learning peter pan 025 shared learning peter pan 026

End of Topic Treat

In Primary 3 we have been looking at Food and Farming this term.  Today we ended our topic by making fruit salads.  We discovered fruits only grew in Scotland at certain times of year so we were interested to discover why they were still available in our shops all year round.  In our fruit salads we had satsumas from Turkey, bananas from Cameroon, grapes from Brazil and apples from Belgium.

Here are some pictures of us busy preparing our treat!

P7 Carlingwark Adventure

Our P7s have just returned from a residential trip to The Carlingwark Centre in Castle Douglas were they did some Hillwalking up Screel (on a very windy day!),  also Orienteering and Mountain biking in Dalbeattie Forest.  The staff at Carlingwark were very impressed with our P7s in all the activities they tackled and I was very proud of the determination, resilience and teamwork that they developed. Everyone learned some new skills and knowledge which hopefully they can build on in the future. Well done P7s!!  Enjoy some photos of our trip.
