Gymnastics Finals
Well done to our team of gymnasts who competed in the Scottish Primary Schools Floor and Vault finals at Perth on Saturday 11th of May. The gymnasts competed against schools from across Scotland. The girls had trained hard for this event and represented the school extremely well. Mrs Duncan and Amy were very proud of the team and their fantastic effort. Thank you to all parents and grandparents for transporting the team to the event and for supporting us on the day.
Primary 4 Magnetic Games
As part of class learning, Primary 4 have created their own magnetic games. Primary 2 were invited to play the games and had a fun afternoon exploring forces and magnets.
Respect Me
Primary 7 were working with Mrs Duncan on a Respect Me workshop yesterday. Pupils shared their understanding of what respect looks like and sounds like. They also shared their views of what respect means to them through their ‘respect means’ speech bubbles.
Primary 4 Balancing Birds
As part of their class learning P4 were following instructions to create a balancing bird. Having created their birds, the pupils had fun exploring where the birds might balance.
Soccer Sevens
Our P7 Soccer Sevens team played in the second round of the SFA schools competition at Kilwinning on Thursday 25th of April. They had an enjoyable day playing against teams from different schools and other authorities. The team represented the school very well and showed super sporting behaviour. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify for the finals. Thank you to Amy Bradbury (Active Schools Co-ordinator) for accompanying us to the event.
Fantastic Displays
Classes from nursery to P7 have been busy this term creating some fantastic displays showcasing learning.
Technology Challenges
P3/4 and P4 have thoroughly enjoyed their technology challenges over the last two weeks. Week 1 involved the children making a car with wheels and week 2 was about creating a drawbridge with moving parts. The children have been working together to follow instructions and build their models and they particularity enjoyed using the saws to saw the wood. They had to measure out different lengths of wood and saw them carefully using the sawing stations in the classroom. The children are delighted with their finished products and we even had a race with the cars int he gym hall. Theo and Firth’s car won the race.
