Primary 1/2
This week we have been learning about direction. We enjoyed using the Beebot toys to move around the classroom and we also made our own simple maps. We also used tally marks to carry out a transport survey in the Community – we saw lots of different vehicles.
We recorded them on our clipboards.
Jayden – “We saw 7 buses.”
Leigha – “We saw 2 bikes.”
Please RSVP for our assembly on 19/05/17.
Primary 2a
We have been learning about what area is.
Isla – “It is the surface of something.”
We have been doing joined up handwriting.
Kianna – “I am finding it hard at the start but it gets easier as you go along.”
We have been talking about Italy and the food they eat.
Gary has been learning how to be a good friend. He’s very good at that.
Primary 3a
This week we have been drawing the Tardis in Art because in Maths we are learning about time and we have been talking about time travel.
We have also been learning about homophones – Isla said that they are words that sound the same but are spelt differently like sale and sail.

Primary 5/6
Very well done to L and S who won the Castle Douglas heat of the D&G K’Nex Competition. The challenge was to design and build a bridge and the girls were at Dumfries final today. The next challenge was to design a fire engine and the girls did very well with their problem solving and did themselves and the school proud. Well done!
