P6G Smoking Matters

October 12, 2016 Mrs Graham Leave a comment

Last week Lisa Ashby came in to talk to us about the dangers of smoking and how to say no. We looked at all the chemicals in a cigarette and we were shocked- poison and embalming chemicals? Yuck ! We tried running on the spot and breathing through a straw to see what it would be like to have lungs of a smoker. It was horrible and really difficult!We also found out that smoke can stay in a house for 6 hours, even if the doors and windows are open. It will soon be illegal for adults to smoke in a car with children present.

Thanks to Lisa for coming in to talk to us!

P5/6 Japanese Food tasting

Today we had Mrs Ross come and cook for us! She made some fantastic Japanese stir fry food with Udon noodles. We then had traditional Japanese pancakes with fresh fruit and cream. We loved it! We also tasted Wasabi peanuts and seaweed crackers which were very spicy!

We all had a great time and we would like to thank Mrs Ross for taking the time to cook for us, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

P5/6 Japanese Green Tea Ceremony

May 12, 2016 Mrs Graham Leave a comment

On Tuesday 10th of May P5/6 had our own Japanese Green Tea ceremony outside in the sunshine of the playing field. We all tasted the Matcha green tea powder and followed up with Mikado chocolate sweets. We really enjoyed ourselves and now know the importance behind this ceremony for Japanese people.

P5 Group 1 water sports

April 28, 2016 Mrs Graham 1 Comment

The first group of Primary Fives visited Carlingwark Loch yesterday with Mrs Graham and Mrs Robison to carry out some fun activities with the Outdoor Education team. The children were split into three groups and took part in sailing, kayaking and canoeing. All the children had a great time and were very enthusiastic throughout. Some even braved the cold and snow to have a little swim at the end!

Well done!

P5/6 Victorians drama!

At the end of the topic, P5/6 had to create a Victorian play with script and facts from the era. They worked very hard to devise interesting storylines and engage the audience. Have a look at some of the pictures of rehearsals!
