Last term P6 were studying the Solar System and were asked to produce a 3D model that answered a ‘big question ‘on a topic that interested them about space.  At the end of term all models were showcased to parents and friends at our Science Fair and several other classes came to marvel at our magnificent work!  There was a great variety of subjects covered and all models had accompanying research.

We spoke very enthusiastically about our models and were keen to present our work to other classes including P2 who had been studying the planets.  Well done P6!

This term P6 have been using the software Kodu to create their own game. The target audience was P2 who were invited to come and play these games!  Both classes joined together and the P6’s enjoyed explaining the aim and instructions of their games while P2 gave a lot of positive feedback.  We finished with P2 singing a song they had learned about the Solar System. Great fun!

On Monday 21st March, Primary 7 were treated to a full day of fun French activities at Dalbeattie High School as part of our transition work.

We had 4 different activities to take part in. They were:

1. Au Voleur! (Catch the thief) – an activity that took us all around the school searching for clues, written on the classroom doors in French, to help us find the missing objects.
2. L’animal imaginaire (Imaginary animals) – we had to create an imaginary animal and label it using our knowledge of French vocabulary.
3. Les jeux de société (Board Games) – we played a variety of games which tested our French vocabulary.
4. Des chansons, et jeux actives (songs and active games) – we sang and practiced lots of songs in preparation for our performances to the parents in the afternoon.

We all had a brilliant day and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious French breakfast of hot chocolate and croissants at break time.

Thank you Mrs Kinghorn!!
